The Global Connection Shannon Holding Alex Micheals Mike Gray Samantha Doe And Karen Doe ripoff Scottsdale Arizona
In December 2004, my wife and I send $US8200 to Shannon Holding from the Global Connection. They said that I was officially A Import, Export Broker( AN Affiliate). They been with us all along the way, let us get 2 toll free international and fax machine and printer, letter head and business name and the whole works. Now I am living in Jamaica, and this is not cheap thing to go about doing like in the US, prices down here are three times the prices in the US.
Then on Friday January 7, they just up and disappeared. They did not answer any of our emails because I was suppose to be in training. Then all their phone numbers and fax numbers, just all of a sudden disconnected. TGC IS A MAJOR RIP OFF and I would like to GET A REFUND OF OUR $US8200 BACK.

Global Connection in Court and Shut Down (and WTA / IMG / MP)
#2Consumer Suggestion
Tue, February 15, 2005
You are correct, TGC is no longer in business. They were shut down along with multiple other "companies" the owners were running. A temporary receivership has been set up that is analyzing the business and financial accounts. You can read both the intial receivership orders and their first report here:

The primary companies known and posted about on this and other sites are The Global Connection, Musketeer Partners, International Merchandise Group (IMG) and World Traders Association (WTA). All together it appears (according to the records above) they scammed millions and millions of dollars. There is even an email from one of the employees that explains his side of the business and how he conducts himself to sell/scam affiliates. Very Good Reading. Supposedly this is going to be posted on the FTC site soon. Until then you can try to follow it here:

Good luck. I'm sorry to hear you invested so heavily. Hopefully justice will be served and you'll see some of your money refunded later in time.
