Good afternoon all. This is my first post, as I've only just joined CPW today. I found this site because I was trying to research NN investigations, although unfortunately in my case the damage is already done. I did get scammed for the first time in my life, and parted with £287.50 to do the SIT training course. The further I got into it, the more obvious it became that it was fake. The course material was basically all common sense, and the 'Assignments' at the end of each section were pathetically easy.
When I realised what was going on (and as someone previously mentioned - SIT is so obviously a part of the whole scam), I thought that I would see it through to the end, and find out what the outcome would be and how NN Inv would deal with me. I did actually manage to speak to 'Dean Wright' on the telephone on one occasion, but usually it would be by e-mail, although he did invite me to visit their office in Oxford when I voiced some doubts about the set-up with him. Of course it was impossible to arrange a mutually convenient time!
I'm pretty disappointed with myself for getting caught by this little sheister, but I suppose we're all allowed the odd mistake, or lapse of judgement. Expensive error though.
I've had two different excuses for the lack of contact since Christmas, the first being that lots of his staff were off sick with colds and 'flu, and subsequently that his new-fangled computer networking system was an 'unmitigated failure' and that he was trying to get his old system up and running again. Yeah RIGHT!
I am seriously hoping to get into the investigative business, and am now going to endeavour to make contact with some proper professional agencies in my area, in the hopes that I might possibly get a chance to prove my real worth. Wish me luck, please?
