On or about 31 May 2014, I was looking for a franchise to purchase. I searched the internet and saw an advertisement by identicalyou for a franchise on seekcommercial.com. The advertisement clearly described the business available for sale was a franchise business.
Particulars of advertisement on seekcommercial.com:
identicalyou instantly captures hundreds of high resolution photos and builds a digital replica of a person, animal or object and 3D printing is an emerging industry that is exploding across the identicalyou is new and unique. We are the first to market and there is no competition. This is a unique franchise and business opportunity, with huge growth potential. Exclusive territories are still available in Australia and New Zealand, starting at $179,000. Expected income in the first year is a minimum of $200,000 doubling in the second year. On or about 1 June 2014, I searched the identicalyou website to obtain more information about the franchise business. The homepage of the website also described the business opportunity as a franchise business. Particulars of identicalyou website homepage:
Our company is seeking to appoint only one individual or company to exclusively represent our products and services in each territory. Our product is unique and uses the latest 3D scanning and printing technology. This is a remarkable franchise and business opportunity with huge growth potential
After making many enquiries and speaking to Daniel Erefor multiple times, on 11 Jul, Daniel Erefor and myself and my wife entered into a Fulfilment Partner agreement and I paid PTN Holdings Pty Ltd (company which IdenticalYou is trading under) $125,000 as deposit to secure the inner city and east Melbourne territories.
A company search on 13 July 2014 subsequently revealed that the sole director of identicalyou is Daniel Di Domenico. Mr Erefor was aware he was not a Director of identicalyou, yet he signed the Franchise Agreement as a Director of the franchisor company in blatant disregard of the law. At the time of signing the Franchise Agreement, I was not aware that Mr Erefor was not a Director of the franchisor company. Further I made multiple requests to see the 3D Image Capture System and the 3D printer and i wish to speak to the other Fulfilment Partners in Melbourne, he agreed to provide but did not actually do so. So far, he had not delivered anything under the agreement and refused to repay me in full my deposit immediately but insisted to repay over a period of 6 months citing cashflow problem. Also he disregards the Franchise Code of Conduct without providing me a cooling off period and Disclosure Statement. Hence, I made a complaint of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ASIC). Compaint# 663679, ACCC Contact Person is Tim Byrne 03 9658 6440 but he advised that this is beyond his jurisdiction.
I suspect this is a fraud case as his name is also Daniel Hannah, Daniel Albert, Daniel Bowman etc. in other scams. See link below and i recognise he is the man in the middle.
