I have copied an entry I posted on the website: the ripoffreport.com.
I assure you that everything I have written here is 100% true and I am willing to meet with anyone and discuss it further if need be.
I can be contacted on 0418 996 742 and I will answer my phone unlike Brian Kelly (the man who is ruining my life)

Firstly let me assure anyone that is reading this that I have nothing at all to gain from discrediting Standford and Associates and Brian Kelly.
Basically, I fell for all his tricks.

I opened a platinum account which cost $9, 000 joining fee and with a $10, 000 trading account.
Returns for the first month (Dec 2007) were $2, 700 profit which was paid into my account. They then rang myself and another friend that has an account with them and told us that they were stopping opening any new accounts as they had too many clients and wanted to concentrate on servicing their existing clients. I then stupidly took out a loan for 2 more platinum accounts before they 'stopped' taking any new accounts. So I have $57, 000 tied up with the company. Their customer service person 'Nancy' sent out quarterly account statements (Jan-March 2008) saying that we had earnt $2, 700 per account. This was 4 months ago and I have not received the money.
And so begins my worst nightmare...
Suddenly their phone number (1300 762 286) was only ever answered by a recorded message and none of the messages I left were ever returned. Their phone is now answered by a message service and as expected my calls are never returned. Brian Kelly hasn't answered his phone since I handed over my money and he doesn't return any calls. I have since been able to get the numbers of 2 people in sales and after explaining my situation and pleading my case to them they promised to look into it with Brian and now they don't answer or return my calls.

I have text messaged Brian Kelly about my situation. Letting him know that my partner has left me and I'm about to lose my house because I can't afford the repayments on the extra loan I took out. He has text me back once saying that I will get the money (stringing me along) so he knows exactly what is going on.

When I read the entries above from people stating that Standford and Associates is a legitimate business it makes my blood boil. If Standford are audited by a chartered accountant then give me their name and number because I would like to know where my money is. They have $57, 000 of mine and they will not return my calls let alone give my money back.

To the people that wrote the entries above defending Standford and Associates why don't you give me a call on 0418 996 742 and you might be able to answer a few questions about where my money is. If you can clear it all up for me then I would be more than happy to post another message here stating that I was wrong but I fear the chances of that happening are slim to nil.
