Is sky square soccer camp llc real?

Very thorough work Began.

You might also be interested in the comment on the Better Business Bureau site - scroll down to the bottom for their long explanation. It confirms the points you make and they have attempted to contact the proprietor.

Apart from the mountain of information you have turned up, I have also turned up some more interesting information.

Thanks Terrance. As an update this is being blown out of the water. My Danish antiscam contact is dealing with it there. I quote.

Hi Began
I talked with Ringsted Sports center and the manager will call me later.
There is no Cup like this in Ringsted at the date’s 10. March – 8. April 2013.
I don’t know if the manager or the Danish Police will do anything, but the sports center is advised now.
xx

There is no camp booked or taking place at Ringsted and I am almost sure never has been.
Thank you for the PMs people and your contributions. I am still not done yet.....
EDIT and update:
The Centre Manager has confirmed no such event is taking place which reinforces what the staff said above. My contact has suggested the Centre inform the local Police about this scam, but the decision is theirs of course.

Let's first of all establish some facts.

http://www.workpermit.com/news/2005_08_ ... _stars.htm

"UK work permits for non-European players

The rules on whether a player is granted automatic entry are clear. He must have played in 75% of internationals for his country in the two years before the application, while the player's country must regularly make the top 70 world rankings."

Not all Europe has the same rules as the UK but the general intent is the same, to prevent average 'players' swamping local soccer clubs and making better quality domestic players redundant. The UK isn't obliged to issue any work permits and there are plenty of African and other nationalities in UK teams, but they'll only be allowed to earn money if they are the highest quality with a proven track record.

Even if you play for a first division team back home you have no chance and, if you have achieved international success, you won't need a sports camp to introduce you to clubs, but I don't mean playing for your country once or twice.

I also don't notice any mention of affiliation to FIFA or national football associations which would create difficulties in arranging matches or any official contact with sanctioned bodies or clubs.

If you can't make it in your home country, you won't make it in Europe and the USA, and that's what the clubs will believe.

Quoting from the Manchester United Official Schools Academy

Manchester United has a scouting network to identify talented youngsters. Players need to make an impression for their local club/team.

They don't scout talent even from their own training camps.

I have discovered a 'doppelgagnger'

.. with a bizarrely similar programme

http://prymefootballacademy.blogspot.co.uk

stjudesfootballacademy.com is registered with Privacy Protect for only one year, which is typical of scam domains. The phone number is in Nigeria, though none of the camps is. No phone number in North Carolina; surely if this were a real event, one could contact the coordinator or someone.

I hadn't quite realised that the St Jude's website had a green and a red half, which look as if they've been built by different people. I saw it, but as the red side concentrated mainly on Nigeria (though it does mention its work in the rest of the world), I left it alone as Nigeria is different to the rest of the world to be honest.

Still, as you point out, they are one website, so any defect on one part affects the other.

I always take 'privacy protect' as a warning flag because businesses normally like to show off their name, after all, it's the best advert they have.

In my own personal opinion anyone thinking of applying to any of these websites should be extremely cautious and make some enquiries beforehand. The relationship with FIFA and national football associations, identities of agents and their registration, accommodation arrangements, length and date of stay, visa type required, costs and so on, and much more.

Nowhere does it give the slightest hint at the overall cost, and it would be foolish to commit yourself to any obligation when you don't know how much you will have to pay in total.

Although the Square Sky LLC site is the more polished version it contains some notable errors in its terms and conditions.

It'll make your eyes go funny

Looks like Sky Square are running around in a panic deleting photos from Facebook and altering their pages. They know they are busted but it is too late. Facebook hold your records, and so do I. We can see some of them here. I know you deleted 5 years of stolen pictures about your so called camps, but you can't delete what others publish about your stealing , fraud and theft. We know that your actions are those of guilty liars and criminals.

i find webcache, the wayback archive and screenshots very useful.

To keep things neat and tidy this is a link back to the thread where Sky Square's name cropped up for the first time (the post by Stormbringer).

http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=110450

Guys, my name is John Pope, I am one of the company executives for Sky Square LLC. Currently, we have six executives that work for this company. Our team staff are centralized in USA, Asia, Scandanivia, and Brazil.

It has come to our attention that the following individuals stormbringer,began steele, TerranceBoyce, and co are out to slander the reputation of this fine establishment with their negative and their incorrect statements. These individuals are interested in discouraging clients, by labeling us as scammers.

I am here to assure you that we are not in the business of scamming anyone, and to prove this, we have every single documentation of support to prove, we are a legitimate company that represents a brand, based on integrity and respect for others.

Let me start by addressing the following issues raised here.

The company was registered back in 2009, and we have been in the recruiting business since 2006.

Began steele, has attacked our credibability by posting false comments on facebook page claiming everything is forgery.

Chukwuemeka ojiakor was a highly selected participant a few years back, and was successfully marketed
with the help of one of the particpating agents. Sky Square posted his pictures online , and began steele, claims the pictures are false.

Sky Square has responded to this meritless accusation by posting Chukwuemeka Ojiakor video on our facebook page. So if you are a reader, ask yourself, can we go as far as producing a false video of a player? Is it really that serious to do such a thing? Furthermore I encourage all readers of this site to question the blogger who feels the need to extend his arms on talking in a negative manner about a highly successive company.

We live in a world, where the consumers are more educated, and with the rapid growth of the internet, Could it be Mr. Steele, has a hidden agenda, and is here to slander the company based on his self interest of gaining attention, and perhaps some sort of notarity. All readers should ask themselves these questions, when they read the false claims of Began Steele.

Furthermore, began steele claims Sky Square is not located at 175 North Drive, High Point NC 27262.

He is mistaken about our address, he claims the address 175 North Point Drive, High Point NC 27262 does not exist. This argument is without merit because what he fails to realize is that for arguments sake, our address is 175 North Pointe Drive Suite 113c, High Point NC, 27262 to be specific.

Here is the link to show a photographic image of the Office Building which Sky Square holds an office. You can click the link, but if the link will not allow you to click, simply copy and paste the link in your web brower and see what sort of search results will generate from this.

http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/17482559 ... -Point-NC/

The property is managed by D G Real Estate, and if anyone has any questions as to if we are located in the building, Please feel free to contact the property management company. Their information is listed online. They would be more than happy to share any information about the business we represent with you.

Furthermore, here is a link to their contact information, and you can see the information provided at your discretion.

http://www.manta.com/c/mmz93dt/d-g-real-estate-inc

If anyone feels the need to not believe what they see on the internet, simply take a visit down to the location mentioned above, and do your own due diligence as an educated consumer/ individual who seeks the truth about local businesses operated in the area.

For the pictures that were taken with the Sky Square banner placed on front window of the office building, Sky Square was given permission from the property management to take the pictures so we could show clients where our new office was located. Since there is no Signage of any sort on the outside of the building, we wanted to give clients a visual of what the building looked like, so they could easily find the building if they needed to.

Sky Square, began at 1815 Legacy park lane, Winston Salem, and it matriculated to a bigger office located at 175 North Point Drive, Suite 113c High Point NC 27262, because the companies growth, we needed a larger space to accomodate to the clients needs.

Normally, my staff and I, do not respond to bloggers, but we do not tolerate meritless accucsations, and the slander that is portrayed against anyone in the company.

We pride ourselves on integrity, and good business practices, thats why we are a company that will continue to grow, despite all the negative comments Began Steele feels compelled to share with the world.

Began Steele, is simply interested in bringing attention to himself by talking about a company which is up and coming. He is interested in drawing traffic to his site, and pushing his own agenda out to the public, by trying to ridicule a legitimate business.

began steele is compelled to harrass our facebook page by posting incorrect statements.


Began Steele, in light of this back and forth controvery, I would strongly recommend you to do more homework before misleading the public. You need to step up your understanding of a business before you decide to comment.

Commenting on a business with no legitimate facts will make you look like a senseless, and an uninformed individual who gets his energy by creating controversy.

Perhaps, you are mistaken about the business, because you are not that knowledgeable about the field we are in. But nonetheless, we invite you to visit the office and ask any questions or concerns you may have in regards to our business practices. We, have nothing to hide, and if you really feel compelled to know if we are a real company, will business tax returns suffice for you?

How far do you really want to take this Mr. Steele? With all do respect, and a piece of advice that you may consider useful for you in the future. Our great nation is faced with undeniably horrific tragedies, which we as a great nation has to solve together. Attacking a business that has successfully proven the results we preach is not the way to gain attention in online media.

Perhaps you should focus more of your time on philanthropy work, and something that will better this nation, and not waste your time on meritless claims. Its a waste of time, and at the end, you look like the incompetent individual who just gets his energy from talking reckless.

Furthermore, Stormbringer brought this issue, claiming 2 Uganda players are scammed, but what she has failed to realize is that those 2 players from Uganda were trying to scam us.

From the beginnning, we made it clear to them, if u wish to to terminate your contract, we can only refund you with the same account you used to pay for your application. They insisted we send money to a different account number which is located in a different country which they initiated their payments.
We are still waiting for stormbringer to visit our office as she claim, and we deal with the situation.


We are not running around deleting any pictures in a panic. Deleting photos from Facebook and altering our pages, we are updating our pages with new picutures and videos,
and new content.

We didn't set up this company to guarantee players will get a profesional contract, we make it clear we are only giving oppurtunity to them to train, and compete. There is nothing guaranteed in this world, and if players think, they can join a camp, and then automatically be selected for a professional contract, they are sadly mistaken. But we understand the rigors it takes to secure a professional contract, and we try our best to help clients succeed in becoming better players.


Since we have been in business, no one sees how we have been scammed by memebrs in the African community. There are many instances people in the African community will try to defraud the company by initiating fake payments to the company using other peoples information. These culprits will make the payments, then ask for a refund through western union, because they understand Western Union is more difficult to track the recipeient once the payment has been tendered.

For this reason stated above, Sky Square is very careful in dealing with them.

Furthermore, these culprits have even compromised our bank accounts by fraudulently sending out false checks to people on craigslist posting as mystery shoppers. This ordeal has brought great stress to the company staff, and the banks are aware of these peoples bad behavior. But despite all this, we have managed to move past this and provide the services which we strong advocate for.

This Is an unfair judgment, and pure slander from you guys, and we are prepared to fight this situation legally if it should ever come to those terms.

We are open for any investigations should you feel compelled to further these contentions.

You underestimate what we know about you.

For obvious reasons not everything we know is mentioned here, but to confirm your lack of credibility, I'll mention just a few of the things we have established and I'll be happy to mention more if you wish, including your previous and latest business endeavours.

James Teschemaker , better known simply as JT, is an American Soccer/football agent. and heads the Sky Square LLC company, founded in 2006. JT is among the most top soccer/football agents in America.
JT began as a soccer player but was forced to abandon his hopes of a professional career after being hit with serious knee injury
when he was in his early 20s. Instead he ran a soccer camp.

He does not appear on the following list of official US soccer agents which can be verified here.

In August 2012 we learned of a new address for Sky Square Soccer Camp. On August 29, 2012 a site visit was made to the new address. There was no Sky Square Soccer Camp listed on the directory of business for the office park. Also, it was noted that the sign being displayed on the web site is not presently displayed at the address. The sign appears to have been taped to the window temporarily for the purpose of picture taking. We again contacted the owner of the company asking for background information on the business, details about the nature of their business as well as clarifications to specific areas of concern. The company has supplied some information but did not supply a response to all areas of BBB concern. A meeting was scheduled with the business but was postponed by the business pending their assembling of documentation requested by the BBB.

In 2009, the BBB has requested background information from this company but has not received a response. Without this information, the BBB may not have current information concerning such things as the company's management or its nature of business. We attempted to contact them on two separate occasion using the email provided by the company. Mail sent to their address was returned by the postal service as non-deliverable. A visit to the address used by the company revealed the address is not a valid address. It is a partial address within an apartment community. We have learned that a person that has been mentioned by consumers as associated with this business was a resident of the apartment complex but has been gone for quite a while now. We have also learned this company is associated with another web based company called Farm Jobs LLC. This web based business is using the same false address.

Is that enough, or would you like to hear more ?

i suspect that if an organisation in the USA can't contact or locate you, anyone abroad is going to have a serious problem. I can help anyone having problems.

Thank you MR POPE AS YOU CALL YOURSELF. Your are a dirty criminal and we know all about you and your claims and the rubbish you post. Your posts only prove how far filthy criminals like you can go to justify themselves.

Could it be Mr. Steele, has a hidden agenda, and is here to slander the company based on his self interest of gaining attention, and perhaps some sort of notarity. All readers should ask themselves these questions, when they read the false claims of Began Steele.

I am seeking nothing except to ensure that you, a filthy lowdown criminal and your accomplices, fail to steal more money and that the LEO's see your activities for what they are. We know all about you and we don't say half by any means.

We are not running around deleting any pictures in a panic. Deleting photos from Facebook and altering our pages, we are updating our pages with new picutures and videos,
and new content.

Once you knew you were busted and we knew where the pictures were stolen from you deleted them after they had been up for 4 years. But don't worry, the screen shots I have can prove it .

claiming 2 Uganda players are scammed

It was not 2, it includes the families who raised the money you stole.
http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/17482559 ... -Point-NC/ is the same building where you are not located and we know you are a liar. Everything you do is a lie and a scam so don't come here and threaten me with legal action. I am glad you came here and openly posted your crap. I long to see the day when you arrive on any doorstep with a court order so you can sue me for telling the truth about you and your crimes.

We, have nothing to hide, and if you really feel compelled to know if we are a real company, will business tax returns suffice for you?

You filed nothing and defaulted before.

Its a waste of time, and at the end, you look like the incompetent individual who just gets his energy from talking reckless.

I am far from incompetent and my posts prove it. Nuff said .
EDIT.
Since you say you are able to provide legal help on your websites then you will know that you can not slander a company or a website. I attack you on your post because it is not your real name, and I have only posted facts and truth. Why are you so afraid of truth? As you know, a slander is not a slander if it is true. My screen shots above show the truth and you can not deny it. I have more, many more, screenshots.
