There is no North Point Drive anywhere in North Carolina. The address of the building you linked to is Northpoint Avenue. I called one of the tenants of the building; he never heard of a Sky Square Soccer Camp.

The Better Business Bureau rated Sky Square LLC an 'F' (their ratings don't go any lower).

That's about what I'd rate them too.

On the 4th April 2012 the Department of the Secretary of State, State of North Carolina issued a 'Certificate of Administrative Dissolution' against Sky Square LLC for failing to file an annual report which was only lifted on 7th December 2012.

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.

If you are in Nigeria then the USA is not "your country". If you are in the USA which you are claiming I assure you we will take your scam activity as far as it will go. We will keep you guessing and tell you nothing. :woahdude: :laugh-s:

Welcome Mr. Pope,

I would definitely like to get the record straight here, but I also need to clarify and/or get further information on some things:

Copied and pasted directly from your website (my color added for emphasis):
THE SKY SQUARE SOCCER CAMP owned by the Sky Square LLC a United States company registered under the Number 2719699 of 175 North Point Avenue, North Carolina, United States
There is no suite number, and there is definitely a difference between an avenue and a drive, which you now claim is your address. Now I realize that your website has plenty of errors and poor English in general, but are you saying that it is unreasonable to assume that a company would at least ensure that their physical location as posted on their site is accurate? Or that a representative of the company would know their own address? And for that matter, their company registration number?

And the BBB has very clearly stated that your address cannot be verified.

As far as TerranceBoyce's posts go, I am afraid I cannot see where there is any hint of slander or libel. Terrance has offered some advice that is always wise to follow when dealing with any opportunity of this kind. He has also pointed to a BBB listing that is legitimately posted, and is in fact linked to your phone number. Please feel free to show exactly where he has posted false information about your company.

In addition to the questions raised since your post, please do address the following points:

I notice that you are also silent on the subject of the photos. Please do explain how photos of an event in Hungary ended up posted as photos of your Denmark camp. To my knowledge, (and please do feel free to correct me if I am misinformed on this subject) Denmark and Hungary are different countries.

Ignoring the questions about the legitimacy of the claims regarding Chukwuemeka ojiakor, which I am not in a position to research myself right now, please also explain how a single player justifies these claims from your website:
SSSC organized Camps in Europe, United States and Canada, SSSC has an unrivaled record of success placing candidates as professional soccer players into the top teams all over the world for the last seven years

Huge number of players has achieved their dreams of becoming a professional soccer player through our soccer camp programs.

While "huge" is obviously a subjective number, I believe all would agree that "one" or even 2 or 3, is not "huge."

And this statement of yours here from your recent post:
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.

is clearly at odds with your website, including these posted statements and the ones posted above that do in fact suggest that the attendees should attend this camp to get a professional contract.
Our aim is to help you to realize your dream to becoming a professional soccer player.

Please note this soccer camp is not Holiday/fun camp, is for players who have what it takes to become a professional football/soccer player.


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.

So you acknowledge that you were paid. Have you contact the bank that issued the original payment? Made any effort to verify their claims? Or have you simply kept the money? If you received money, it must have come from somewhere, and if you are suggesting it was stolen, have you tried to return it to the rightful owners?

I would also like to understand this: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=127224#p127224
The poster (who claimed to be in New Jersey), posted 18 minutes after opening an account here from a Lagos, Nigeria IP. Again, you can certainly correct me if I am mistaken, but I am pretty confident that it is not possible to get from Nigeria to New Jersey in 18 minutes. False testimonials such as this one are very strong indicators of scam. The only party that would benefit from that testimonial is your company.

As for the below quote:
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.


I do have to ask that you refrain from making condescending personal statements about posters you do not know, and please avoid making irrelevant statements about "our nation" (a bit misinformed, too, when you consider the fact that I am pretty certain that Mr. Steele is not from the United States.) This board is about fighting scams. Mr. Steele is passionate about preventing people from being scammed, plain and simple. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest any other motivation, and your statement could be interpreted as a personal attack. If you want to discuss the state of our nation, or any nation, I would suggest you find a more appropriate board for that discussion.

By nature Mr Pope I am a cautious, accurate and thorough person, and I record everything.

As regards the location of your office in the USA it seems that you have claimed several, though no one located in the USA has managed to discover it, and I refer to the BBB who have given you every chance to come out of 'hiding'.

If you think my language is intemperate it is because you have given a different address to the Department of the Secretary of State, the State of North Carolina - namely

10010 Platte Xing
Raleigh NC 27617

It was the address they used in sending the Certificate of Administrative Dissolution to you.

i would draw your attention to North Carolina General Statutes § 57C-6-03 Administrative Dissolution.

http://law.onecle.com/north-carolina/57c-north-carolina-limited-liability-company-act/57c-6-03.html

(a) The Secretary of State may administratively dissolve a limited liability company if the Secretary of State determines that:

(4) The limited liability company has not notified the Secretary of State within 60 days that its registered agent or registered office has been changed, that its registered agent has resigned, or that its registered office has been discontinued;


Again we ask - where is your registered office ? - as, if what you tell us here is correct, your company may find itself in administrative dissolution again.

Are you the registered agent Mr Pope? You say you are an executive so if not, what position do you hold in the company? If you are the agent then you have again, failed to complete the State requirement and your company can be dissolved. I would like to hear from the registered agent here- so as you state who you are, you can persuade him to come along and identify himself and clarify the confusion.
Since your Facebook pages show pictures of a Soccer Camp you held. Would you then post the location of the photos? I would like to see the dates of this camp and details of where you claimed it would be held. I already have this information but want you to have the opportunity to tell us before I post it all. I think this is fair in the interests of your company because I would hate to get it all wrong.

By the way Mr Pope, you forgot to mention that another company Maximus Auto Group LLC is recorded with the Department of the Secretary of State, State of North Carolina as having that very same office as its registered office.

It's a matter of official and public record.

http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations/Filings.aspx?PItemId=10040204

175 North Point Avenue Suite 113c High Point NC27262.

Have you noticed ?

If you do work from 175 North Point Avenue Suite 113c High Point NC27262 then you should at least know whether or not another company works from the same office or are you telling us that they don't exist ?

I've now discovered a third company claiming to work from that one small office.

To underline the point I post a warning issued by the UK Football Association back on the 1st July 2009.

http://www.thefa.com/News/governance/2009/jul/ScamWarning

Young players, clubs and parents are advised about an ‘agents’ scam that The FA has recently been made aware of.

Persons purporting to be licensed agents are sending out spam emails promising trials with various clubs, using details from the list of licensed agents on the FIFA website, www.fifa.com. The clubs and the Agents whose names have been used have no knowledge of the potential 'trials'.

The scam appears to work around promising trials to young players with various clubs and then asking for payment in advance to cover 'insurance and travel'. Once the money is sent, no more is heard.

Anyone who is a victim of this scam should contact their local police.

i mention the UK Football Association because I presume that Sky Square LLC subscribe to their rules as they coincidentally share the same company registration number as the UK Football Association Premier League Ltd according to their website.

http://www.skysquarellc.com

The Sky Square LLC is A United States company registered under the Number 2719699


An uncanny coincidence

http://www.premierleague.com/content/premierleague/en-gb/toolbar/terms-conditions.html

the FAPL, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 02719699


If you check at the North Carolina state company registry you'll discover the true company registration of Sky Square LLC.

http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations/Corp.aspx?PitemId=9107828

Remarkably Sky Square LLC aren't the only company to have claimed this bogus company registration, and coincidentally this is a company referred to by the BBB when they investigated Sky Square LLC - Farm Jobs LLC.

Perhaps someone from the company could explain the link and the error on their website information.

Mr "Pope John" I need you to clarify some matters. You use Cybex equipment that is used by Golds Gym in NC, NC State University and another NC location. It is horrendously expensive and is duplicated in "SSSC Fitness Center" as you call it. It makes no sense business wise to have this for your 2 NC fake Soccer camps per year. You do not own a Fitness Centre and it is another lie. Here is a screenshot from Facebook and a video to explain what I am talking about. Note the Blue areas in the back ground showing through the windows.

I see your "SSSC Fitness Center" is equiped with an ASB RAINBOW COURT, a "state of the art "Glass Squash Court that costs around £225,000, or around half a million dollars to you. You are an utter and complete a total liar.
I can show you where there is one or two maybe, Gold's Gym and NC State University. You do not have one.
http://find.mapmuse.com/map/squash-cour ... university
I don't expect you will arrive and produce any excuse. I think your name is James Teschemaker and the NC State Police or FBI can easily find you. I intend to make them come looking. Here is a link you are going to be needing.

I also have to ask, considering what an important part of your company and website Mr Seedolf Akumani is, has he recently been to Newark ?

There can't be many Seedolf Akumani's in the USA.

Mr Seedolf Akumani is an employee of SSSC he states. Business must be great for SSSC. They get top of the range Landrover Discoveries and BMWS.
Looks like the Fitness Center has more than one ASB Rainbow Court. Here below is Court Number 1. I don't have a photo of Court Number 2 yet.
This is serious money. $1,000,000 on squash courts. You have filed no accounts for the business, which is why it was dissolved before. I am just giving the US Inland Revenue Service a heads up on your behalf.
I do know about the Money Laundering, the Job Fraud, The Soccer Camp Fraud, and a few more you don't know we know about. You and the people registered in the USA with these companies and living in the USA could be facing a considerable length of time in prison, and I and others are doing our best to ensure that you all get there.

You're being too hard on them began.

It's their first effort and you can't expect them to make it look professional first time.

I don't want to tell them all the mistake they've made, especially with regard to the legal clauses, as you can't expect to get them right without professional legal advice and they've made some silly bloopers and, though I won't point out the major ones, I will highlight the funniest ones. :lol:

This clause must be unique in the soccer camp business and suggests that maybe they should consider registration with, and regulation by, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

http://www.skysquarellc.com/index.php/terms-condition

F. PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION OF A STOCK TRADE, USERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH YOUR BROKER OR OTHER FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO VERIFY PRICING OR OTHER INFORMATION. SSSC, ITS AFFILIATES, INFORMATION PROVIDERS OR CONTENT PARTNERS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR INVESTMENT DECISIONS BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. NEITHER, SSSC, NOR ITS AFFILIATES, INFORMATION PROVIDERS OR CONTENT PARTNERS WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE TIMELINESS, SEQUENCE, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THIS INFORMATION. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES AS TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE INFORMATION.


I wouldn't bother changing it as there are far more fundamental problems that indicate that these terms have been copied and pasted and not drawn up by a competent legal authority.

The site never was updated to record the result of the Brazil tour :laugh-s:

Why a soccer camp would send its applicants off on an extra tour (for no apparent reason) that would cost them a fortune, require more visas which wouldn't be easy to get from Norway, is hard to understand.

http://skysquarellc.com/index.php/component/content/article/92-flasher-news/146-selected-player

Details Published on 20 August 2012 Written by Super User Hits: 1899
Selected players for the concluded Bergen Norway camp, will be on tour to Rio de Janeiro.


It's clearly just plain fantasy that's intended to lure gullible victims as this has no relevance to any attempt to showcase soccer players to agents and such a tour would be phenomenally expensive to arrange and difficult to set up.

On a serious note this article details how a Nigerian player made it big in the West and you'll note that he was 'head hunted' by agents during the under-17 World Cup, emphasising that unless you've made it big back home no European club will be interested.

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=w8BuCcSj8HoC&pg=PA33&lpg=PA33&dq=african+footballers+in+norway&source=bl&ots=WPx7-myFoM&sig=vmdKF_VhaDkyvQHf9uxOkXlLf68&hl=en&sa=X&ei=mDTcUPSIHeaX0QX1yIDQDA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=african%20footballers%20in%20norway&f=false

Though I very much doubt any player would ever get a plane ticket from this outfit, on page 43 of this article it mentions the fate of the many African schoolboys who travel to Europe looking for football fame and who end up on the streets living as illegal aliens.

Without a visa AND a work permit you simply can't receive any money for playing football in the West.

Though it isn't mentioned on the website, I've managed to locate where the North Carolina soccer photos were taken

Old Town Park
4550 Shattalon Dr
Winston-Salem, NC


It's a public park with a whole range of facilities open to the general public - including baseball and outdoor basketball with a play area for kids.

In the featured photographs of a soccer match the players are all Hispanic/Asian with no African players to be seen, leading me to believe that these are just photos of a local soccer match where shirts were provided by Sky Square LLC with one random player in a Spain shirt. :D (there's always one).
