This came as a shock. Last time we tend to met Graham Copsey >(left with wife Natalia) was outside Winchester Crown Court where he was on trial for acting as a company director while disqualified.
The 52-year-old conman had run a series of cruel emigration scams that preyed on folks hoping to begin a new life abroad.
His companies - initial purpose International, Visa plus and VP Relocation - took fees then collapsed, going away his victims out of pocket.
In 2003, Graham Copsey was banned from running companies for eight years.
That didn’t stop him. He carried on running visa scams, mistreatment his(Graham Copsey) wife Natalia as a paper director.
In 2007, he was condemned of breaking the ban and barred from directorships for an additional seven years.
In theory that should be the last we’d hear of him till 2014.
So imagine however we tend to felt on learning that the fresh appointed director of a company called a new Life Abroad, at one time Visaplus Relocation restricted, is one Graham William Copsey of Farnham, Surrey.
For reasons we can’t fathom, the disqualification order was upraised last july.
And Visaplus Relocation has already got at least one extremely unhappy combine of customers.
Wayne and lorraine Hamood of Skelmersdale, Lancs, hoped to maneuver to the united states with their 3 children.
They paid Visaplus £3,996 for what, claim the couple, amounts to very little quite revising Wayne’s CV.
Wayne is a drywall finisher.
What Visaplus didn’t tell him, was there is next to no chance that somebody during this trade will get a visa to live within the States.
"When Wayne told potential employers that he had seventeen years experience they wished to ascertain him a similar day," lorraine told United States of America.
"But as soon as we tend to aforesaid we’re within the kingdom they didn’t wish to know. we have found it’s not possible for him to obtain a green card for this type of work."
Copsey wouldn’t discuss the case with United States of America, claiming "a duty of confidentiality".
But we tend to did see a letter Visaplus wrote to Wayne speech communication that he wouldn’t be getting a refund.
"We have reviewed your file and take the read that Visaplus has worthy all obligations up to now.
"We make sure that we have aided you with the preparation of your CV in a very type suitable to the USA labour market. we tend to liaised with your prospective United States of America leader in relation of however best to structure your job provide to accommodates the vis a demand and advised the leader on the stages of the immigration process.
"It was on the far side the company’s management that your United States of America leader decided to not continue the process of sponsoring you."
And it all over by citing 2 clauses within the contract.
"Whilst Visaplus will take all cheap steps to confirm the success of the Relocation Programme elite by the consumer, no warrant can be only if the end result wanted will be achieved."
And: "Under no circumstance shall Visaplus have associate obligation to reduce the fee."
A long way of saying "tough".
He has already got one unhappy combine of shoppers.
