Derick Coles - New Horizons Group The conman who stole nearly $170,000 from an escrow account which was for the purchase of a business. Sarasota , Florida USA (offices In Mayafair And Hampshire In UK) Nationwide

Derick Cole of New Horizons Group took a cheque of 1875 as 50% fees for promising us an E-2 visa application.and his son Jason Cole took a cheque of 950 to act a business consultant for prospective business which we will be purchasign to get an E-2 visa.

Carrie Crockett was our realtor agent who kept supplying us with various businesses and also giving us feed back on the business we were interested in.

On August 6th we sent by wire transfer $150,000 to an escrow account at the Sun Trust Bank. He also promised that he will pay us 3% interest on the funds. he confirmed by email that the funds are in the account and he will be able to get more financila info on the business we were interestyed in at that time.

Few more weeks passed but there was no result. At all times Carrie Crockett was liasing with us. We met Derick Cole again in September at the forum and he was very assuring and confirmed that we did the right thing by sending out the funds at the escrow accountas the value of GBP to USD had dropped at that time.

In mid October we decided to fly personally to Florida and meet the sellers so that we can bring a result. We spoke to Carrie - held a phone conference (sort of) and came up with dates and decided to make a list of at least 10 businesses so that we can arrange the appointments with the sellers and their agents. We also emailed everything to Derick Cole. He approved of everything and wrote that he wishes us good luck that our trip be successful.

We emailed a list of businesses but we did not hear anything from anybody. We tried to contact Jacky Joinson at the Uk office , we tried to speak to Carrie, we tried to speak to Deric in USA but we could not get hold of anybody.

On 20th November we found out from the internet that he has conned other people.

We deposited the funds in an escrow account which we did not authorise him to withdraw at any times. He has basically taken our hard earned cash.

He should be caught and brought to justice.
