Ripoff

My storey is basicly the same as Tom in Vancouver. Same experiance, same names, and basicly the same result. I too went to Ontario to give it a look over, searched the net on these guys to look for anything that looked out of sync, at that time all seemed well. 2 months after I had given them money, Toms story appeared in November on the web on this site and I could see the writing on the wall. The initial ivestment was $10, 000 less than Toms, but my experiance for the most part has been the same. One difference from Toms account and mine is that I did receive 15 small refrigerator units to place in business. Then the first week of January of this year, I received a letter telling me of their financial difficulty, and they would not be able to deliver as promised. And now today, I get another Fed-Ex with a letter saying your on your own buddy. There was also a check from Edgebaston Group LTD., for $1, 600 intruction for me to hire a salesperson to secure accounts @ an estimated $600 and $350 to buy product to get started. I would be very interested to band together as one to go after these guys
