Hi All,

I'm glad to learn of somewhere I can talk openly to an extent at the moment.

Had money taken for an essay; no big deal. The big deal became though that the lady that encouraged me to use there service in one form and later performed a U-turn with terms and conditions from the trading from named co. has gone on to blackmail me, scary huh?

Sitting at my desk yesterday thinking this can't be real, then a huge wave of stress hit me.

So I had to discuss due to the stress this was creating with my line manager and luckily found her to be supportive. Furthermore because all the phones work provide to us are recorded for compliance and due to the tail end of my experience thus far, she feels it would be appropriate to pull transcripts and pursue further due to the seriousness of its evolved nature.

This is still an odd situation and I'm not entirely sure despite nullify threats from the merchants member of staff with all other stakeholders; I wonder what others despite those I have confinded in will perceive my niavity as and sadly the threats still feel very real and are making me sick.

I need to make a decision by the end of the day ideally.

A few things to I'd like to understand further today:

1. Is this stupidity a likely cultural factor in x company providing essays and the acount manager assigned has been too enthusiastic/stupid?

After my colleague liased with our own customer relations team and then our contact with trading standards to sense check scenario both felt it would be better to engage the police. point 2>

2. Are these companies formed by seasoned lawyers who set up structure then hire opportunists or backpackers who need a couple of quid commission to escape reality to put friendly (initially) voices on scam or is the company like run day to day too by those who registered? Calls and all? Names seem pretty coincidental.

3. Should I too be contacting my bank explaining situation and cancelling the card that I used to pay money to this outfit? What if she tries to threaten other 'customers' through blackmail and looks to keep taking money for cooperation....

NOT GOOD AT ALL
