I am warning you IKO i want my money back.

Postby kiwimike » Fri May 03, 2013 6:45 pm

if you pricks at iko dont give me my years of annual fees back i am going to contact every school on the iko website and tell them how you ripped me off. i know you are ignoring my emails and phone calls but i know you read anything iko related on the forums. i am going to phone and email EVERY iko school and let them know you are running a scam. it will be cheaper to refund me my money and you can carry on ripping everyone else off. you have one week. tick tock, tick tock.

just collected all the telephone numbers and email addresses of the iko schools from the iko website. thought it would take a while but there are only 66 of them. 66 out of thousands, what a joke. we had 4 here in thailand and they refused to talk to us on the phone so we all quit.
i paid my fees ontime for 4 years to an organisation that refused to talk to me on the phone despit trying to call them for days on end.
does anyone have anything positive to say about iko?

I know you are angry, but you really need to let it go. this kind of revenge poisons your own soul and just isnt worth it.

Focus on what positive things you want to achieve and spend your emotions and energy on those things.

Why do you think Europe make their own instruction courses?

Here you get your drivers licences from a none profit system, and offcource we would never trust a private company selling kite-licences.

Seems the only time the iko is mentioned here is when someone is pissed at them.

Hi Mike,

What kind of value did you expect for your money? Were you thinking the brand name IKO was going to give your place some credibility and increase your business volume? Did you consider simply setting up shop on your own without the brand name or some certification? Just curious what motivated you to send them money in the first place.
