World TEFL Association iTEFL eTEFL Franchise scam never refunded operation closed and restarted under different name Hong Kong **Author of this Report is NOT CONFIRMED**
I purchased a franchise from Jimmy Crangle and Debbie McClean in March 2013. In the franchise agreement there was a 100% refund guarantee if my franchise failed to make $50,000 in revenue in the first year.
In January 2014 I took part in franchise training in Koh Samui, Thailand. Shortly thereafter, the operation was put on hold due to a military coup. Later in that year, the whole thing was closed down and restarted under a different name.
I have not been refunded my franchise fee.
Jimmy Crangle continues to live in the Sathorn district of Bangkok at a very nice apartment complex next to the Chatrium Hotel.
There are companies registered at addresses in Scotland and Hong Kong, these offices appear to be Regis workspace rentals
