If you feel like you have been ripped off by The Stock Market College, my condolences. Hopefully you have been able to get your money back.
That said, please don't let someone else make the same mistakes we made by trusting a pushy sales person! You can help by linking to this page from your Facebook account, other social networking account or even your personal website or other blog.
While this site used to feature quite prominently on Google - it's been a while since more comments have been posted. The result is that it's become a bit lost in the search engines.
While others do need to make up their own minds about whether they really do want to do business with an organisation like The Stock Market College - it's much better if they have access to all the information before making a purchasing decision. Hopefully more links back to this site will push its Google rank and show up on the first page fro those typing "Stock Market College" ;)
Warning, odds are you will regret giving your credit card to anyone representing this company: http://www.stockmarketcollege.co.za/ - some openly accuse Hardus van Pletsen and his team of fraud, theft or simply point out gross misconduct or unethical behaviour. Of course the choise is yours - just please read about the experiences of others before deciding to purchase their "education course".

Stock Market College - Same old tricks!
Well, it's been a long time since this blog was created in an attempt to let others know about the shocking business practices at South Africa's Stock Market College.
Well, obviously not enough has been done to warn people because just one quick look at Hello Peter reveals just how many people feel ripped off:

I truly hope that when the new Consumer Bill comes into affect that there will be some recourse for those who delight in shady business practices.

What's with Hardus van Pletsen and CC's member accredibility?
No surprises with the title of his post "Contract terms not adhered to" but hmuller1 also mentions a (dead Moneyweb) link with a query which reads: "There seems to be some issues with the CC's member accredibility. Refer to web page with Moneyweb on 1 MEMBER Mr. Hardus van Pletsen."
Anyone care to elaborate on what this is all about?

Fraudulent Debit - (Oh no, another one!)
"This company specializes in scamming and deceiving people." - can't say I disagree with these wonderfully chosen words in this brave post on Hello Peter from WKoeg.

Fraud!! - Or so this post reads
(WTF!) Stooping to new lows, Stockmarket College "consultant" badgers unsuspecting and unwitting buyer with offers to pay for course in exchange for laptop.
Credit card debited anyway . . . refusal to reverse the transaction . . . (anyone got de ja voux?).

The lawyers got involved with this one?
No matter how annoyed mitch82 may have been with Hardus and his Stockmarket College it's quite possible his Hello Peter post entitled "FRAUD & THEFT!" included some badly chosen public words.
Erm, okay, so the title sort of says it all.
That said, you don't need too much imagination to get the impression Hardus and his legal team got heavy on the threats and forced a full retraction a few days later.
The good news is that the original post is still there in all it's glory for everyone to see.

Pulling no punches, amaharaj simply entitles his post "Theft"
Another sad Hello Peter story which shows how Stockmarket College reps go about their "business". Empty promises . . . failure to point out contractual obligations . . . threats . . . yup - sounds like it's business as usual at our favourite educational institution.
