For those who missed it... of course it was deleted quickly...
I had a look through their timeline last night and thought the same. Plus what is it with so many of their photoshoots and women donning trousers or going the pant suit route?I received the same reply. Thinking of going back and telling them they probs want to add a few more women of colour to their ambassador list. The feed is soooo white. They sure did post that black square in June though
Thread #9How about “ They see me scamming, they hating”

No you have no capacity for Nuance, empathy or general common sense, nothing to do with IG being a crap platform. Most peeps are living with mental health challenges especially in times like this. And you know what we ALL have mental health.
Job very well done. This is the act I referred to in my last post & threads ago. I do hope those submitting claims use it but I will say whilst it’s all well & good stating she misrepresented her success which is what made me buy the course in actual fact the focus should be on misrepresentation of the products eg the course was sold as business development but was in fact personal development which then led to upselling to a business development course. Both instructors not always present for classes, dates must be provided, duration must refer to start & finish times when referring to classes being cut short etc etc. Basically when submitting the claim the information presented needs to be precise. Also whilst it’s great to include links to articles essentially they will be referred to as hearsay except for the undelete post where she claims it was a scam & the podcast. You need to point out what time in the video eg at 2mins 30secs the statement “X” was declared by Sarah Akwisombe. The important thing to do is to stick to what exactly you are asking for remembering that articles written whilst they are bad for her reputation will seriously probably not hold much weight apart from the fact they mention hundreds of women are now out of pocket in a time of a pandemic which can be referred to as a common theme at best. I seriously hope someone writes an article on the mental health effect of all of this & for once an article refers to the actual course names instead of the often quoted umbrella of ‘Money Manifesting’.As promised ladies, I've been busy behind the scenes getting more tools to help you all with your claims. If you have purchased any training from Sarah Akwisombe in 2020, it's a safe bet that her appearance of success in business and financial terms was a key factor influencing and pushing you to commit and purchase.
Because of the proven fact that these claims were false, and at best a misrepresentation, Sarah Akwisombe actually falls foul of the Misrepresentation Act 1967, entitling you to full reparations under the Act.
For reference, here's the relevant legislation:
Misrepresentation Act 1967
Misrepresentation Act 1967
An Act to amend the law relating to innocent misrepresentations and to amend sections 11 and 35 of the Sale of Goods Act 1893.www.legislation.gov.uk
The most important part is this:
"Where a person has entered into a contract after a misrepresentation has been made to him, and—
(a)the misrepresentation has become a term of the contract; or
(b)the contract has been performed;or both, then, if otherwise he would be entitled to rescind the contract without alleging fraud, he shall be so entitled, subject to the provisions of this Act, notwithstanding the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section."
Here is an excellent 'plain English' breakdown by Commercial Dispute Resolution Partner Nick Lees of Walker Morris:
"What is misrepresentation?
A misrepresentation is: an untrue statement of fact or law; upon which a party relies in being induced to enter a contract; and which thereby causes the relying party to suffer loss.
Misrepresentations can:
be express written or oral statements
be implied by words or by conduct
be made when making plans or projections for the future
arise via half-truths
arise where a statement was true when made, but later becomes untrue if circumstances change. Here, the representing party has a duty to update/revise his or her statement
occur more readily in relationships of utmost good faith (such as partnerships or contractual arrangements requiring full disclosure).
There are three different types of misrepresentation, each giving rise to different remedies for the party who has suffered loss."
Sarah Akwisombe made deliberately false claims around her earnings in all sales collateral leading up to Smashing It, now established to have stated forward booked (but not billed) business as 'earnings' - and much of it far forward, not even in the same quarter. This comes under fraudulent misrepresentation for the purposes of the Act, again working from Nick Lees' guidance:
"Fraudulent misrepresentation is the most serious and requires the false representation to have been made knowingly, without belief in its truth, or recklessly as to its truth. A successful claimant may have the contract set aside (or ‘rescinded’) and seek enhanced damages."
Just one example of the Smashing It sales collateral can be found here, where Sarah Akwisombe makes fraudulent claims of earning £600k in the ten weeks of working with Llewellyn Davies. Note that she also failed to deliver on the promises made in this sales collateral, and as we now have proven, the poorly & hurriedly prepared course materials and zooms sessions were frequently shorter than advertised and on occasions not even with both Sarah Akwisombe and Llewellyn Davies, again a failure to deliver on what was promised:

There are many more examples where Sarah Akwisombe has misrepresented her success and offering to entice people to sign up with her, but the above example is probably the best as it very clearly falls into the fraudulent misrepresentation category. At the very least, you are entitled to a full refund, potentially damages too.
It's also important to link the the video where Sarah Akwisombe says it was all about making the money and in her own words, she "didn't care" if she could service her clients or have time to look after them:
There's also the infamous Tesla video where Sarah Akwisombe admits to poor quality, it being all about making money, and falling short on expectations:

The next steps are to use the MCOL claim link (thanks LadyPainterDeco!) and add all the above information in, as well as all the media links, as they give further context to your claim, and illustrate the fact that you are one of many affected by Sarah Akwisombe's fraudulent misrepresentation. And yes, we can now 100% refer to it as fraudulent misrepresentation, as per the Misrepresentation Act 1967.

You'll need to use the registered trading address for NBBS, which is the Chorley one (a shared address based at their accounts).
Hope this helps you all and gives renewed confidence in the validity of your claims against this conwoman.
