I'd Much Prefer To Be Ripped Off And Continue To Be A Worthy Person With A Clean Spirit Than Like The Brothers Grim Who Conned Me

By Paul Rawnsley


Very Well, so the Kalmindon disaster is concluded. I know I've been diddled by a pair of very clever brothers with a very plausible line, it's cost me 3,000 that I paid for SEO training that I could have got from the internet for zero quid, with no prospect whatever of the claimed clientele that was 'guaranteed upon course completion' appearing. They were supposed to have a 'pool of clients' waiting to have their site optimised and they would merely join me up with the ones either in or nearest to the Black Country.

Of course the spiteful thing, which goes for all of us who have been cheated, is not the loot that we all shelled out to the Brothers Grim, but the reserves we used up in the meantime. Because they allocated us a website of their own in the meantime which required plenty of articles, 50 in my case, in the belief that a paying client was imminent and I could begin to get some kind of income. In my case that means that as I started the training in April I have been using up my own money to support us during that time and now here we are in November and it is almost all gone. Fortunately, the cost of living in the Black Country is much lower than it would be in a lot of parts, but it couldn't carry on forever, and it hasn't.

But, what I have acquired is the knowledge that I wasn't the only one and some bright others have also been taken in equally so I am not the only eejit. The other is that I can now do SEO, something that I did not actually know existed up to the episode but now I know it and really satisfaction from doing it. To me, SEO is the idyllic job as my Mrs is having chemotherapy at the moment which means frequent trips to hospitals around the Black Country and I can go off for a when needed to go with her.

I had already been practicing a bit of IT support for small firms in the Black Country though it just extended to the odd call to connect a printer or repair a crashed pc, not as often as I'd prefer obviously. But what I can do now is to combine both abilities and offer SEO and IT support and hopefully attract regular business coming in.

But while I try to sort out something, I might have to see about a job at the Scottish burger restaurant or at a restaurant somewhere but it is not likely to help very much as the first Mrs Izzard is about to go on half salary from now as she has been away from work for treatment for 6 months now. Which is of course another rather inopportune case of timing as far as the swindle of time and money by Kalmindon is concerned.

So, although I'm not bred into the Black Country I have found them to be mainly jolly and positive folk, and I will attempt to match that outlook since I am, after all a considerably better person than the excrescences who very likely feel very pleased and clever at having done me and the rest. But then that is presumably how sociopaths work and I am a good fellow. So there. *Blows a raspberry!*
