I had a phone call from a man calling himself Jim Mason, stating he was from a company called Lead Campaign Services, and he got my name from Vianet Training, [who I had signed up for internet marketing training, some time previous]. He said he was selling training website bundles.
Knowing that Vianet was doing this, I didn't think anything of it, I assumed that this part of Vianet was now under a different name. The price of the bundle was US$1100, which was around the price of the Vianet bundle, I had previously spoken to Vianet about. I had just got my tax return back, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to go ahead with it. I arranged to pay in 2 instalments, plus a $25 fee for doing so. I paid $625.00 on the 07/13, with the balance to be paid in 180 days.
I never received the websites, and after a few back and forth emails, lodged a claim with Paypal. I won the case, but they said don't expect to get my money back, as Paypal will probably never be able to get it. I have not heard anything since then.
