Thread #11 The heat is on for Sarah Akwisombe, as court papers land on
her doorstep, brands publicly denounce her, and she's on the radar of the ASA,
Trading Standards, her local council, Action Fraud and more. Court cases going
through from many of her victims to claim money and damages from her
fraudulent misrepresentation as part of the MLM technique laden £1M coaching
scam.
A full TLDR complete with links to articles, media, and THAT video admission
that all Akwisombe cared about was rinsing her clients.
Screenshots of some of the best posts on Twitter and other social media
related to this collapsed coaching scandal to follow in the thread too!
NB a word of caution - it was established late in thread #9 that Akwisombe and
her supporters have been lurking and setting up fake Tattle profiles to keep
tabs on vocal members of this awesome group. Just be mindful to not give away
anything that could identify you in real life, in case Sarah Akwisombe tries
to use it against you or to hamper any legal action.
UK blogger/influencer Sarah Akwisombe has recently been the focal point of a
major controversy involving unethical selling of courses to the female SME
sector, failed service delivery, false claims around revenues and results, and
refusal to refund over £200k to clients affected by non-delivery of service.
Naturally, this has considerable potential to negatively impact the reputation
of organisations she is working with (and has worked with previously),
resulting in several already taking steps to distance themselves.
A brief summary of key events is below, followed by links to the national and
international media coverage of the fallout from the situation:
- Sarah Akwisombe she was going to make a million pounds in lockdown and show
everyone how she did it
- At the same time, launched multiple new group coaching courses as well as 1-
2-1 coaching services
- Service levels for both group coaching/courses and private clients fall
short after 4 months. People are unhappy
- Late September saw Sarah share a video saying she had "made a million".
- Days later, Sarah posts a video saying she had let everyone down, the
service was poor, remaining months on the courses were cancelled
- Transpired the million pounds included forward booked business, so
approximate splits were £600k banked, £400k forward booked and not yet
billable
- Sarah Akwisombe deleted multiple social posts and videos as clients started
to demand refunds
- Sarah starts blocking anyone who questions her
- Some people have been able to reclaim refunds from their banks, which is
good news, many others still fighting. Sarah claims £75k refunded. At least
£200k of refund claims currently being fought for by clients.
