When a lie is halfway around the world the truth begins to put on its boots

1. Consumer Action Group - 'Spicey v Skillstrain'

May 2008 - January 2009

This forum was created by a self-confessed Internet trouble maker who previously attempted to discredit Sainsbury's for selling a joint of beef that was tough when he cooked it for over 3 hours and Curry's over a bogus problem setting up a PC.

The trouble maker created this forum when he pretended to be a potential student and tricked a Course Advisor into signing him up for a course, only to cancel immediately, diarise his attempts at fraudulently tricking the company and then make false claims for the cost of his time and alleged out of pocket expenses. He repeatedly libelled SkillsTrain in several forums and put up numerous postings over several months, from May 2008, until it all his postings were removed in January 2009, after he admitted his deception.

Example postings that were removed:

"As they (SkillsTrain) cashed the cheque intentionally, in the certain knowledge that they had no lawful right"

"this is a constructive attempt by SkillsTrain to deprive me of my right to cancel"
