I’d Much Prefer To Be Conned And Remain A Worthy Person With A Spotless Character Than Like The Brothers Grim Who Cheated Me

Ok, so the Kalmindon disaster is determined. I know I’ve been diddled by a pair of very clever brothers with a very plausible line, it’s cost me three grand that I coughed up for SEO training that I could have downloaded from the internet for free, with no possibility at all of the claimed clientele that was ‘guaranteed upon course completion’ turning up. They were supposed to have a ‘pool of clients’ waiting to have their webpages optimised and they would just join me up with the ones either in or nearest to the Black Country.

Of course the foul thing, which applies for all of us who have been cheated, is not the loot that we all shelled out to the Brothers Grim, but the reserves we used up in the meantime. Because they assigned us a website of their own to go with which required plenty of articles, 50 in my case, in the belief that a paying client was imminent and I could start to earn some kind of income. In my case that means that since I started the training in April I have been using up my own money to support us during that period and now here we are in November and it is nearly all gone. Fortunately, the cost of living in the Black Country is much lower than it would be in lots of places, but it could not last forever, and it did not.

But, what I have acquired is the knowledge that I was not the only one and some clever people have also been taken in equally so I’m not the only prat. The other is that I have learnt how to do SEO, something that I did not actually know existed up to the episode but now I know it and really enjoy doing it. To me, SEO is the idyllic occupation as my missus is undergoing chemotherapy at the moment which needs frequent travel to hospitals around the Black Country and I can leave it for a bit to go with her.

I had already been performing some IT support for small companies in the Black Country but it only extended to the occasional call to connect a printer or fix a crashed computer, not as regularly as I’d prefer obviously. But what I can do now is to mix both skills and offer SEO and IT support and hopefully get some frequent business coming in.

But while I try to drum up something, I may have to see about a career at the Scottish burger restaurant or at a pub somewhere but it isn’t likely to help very much as the first Mrs Izzard is about to go on half salary from November as she has been off sick for treatment for 6 months now. Which is of course another rather unfortunate moment of timing as far as the swindle of time and money by Kalmindon is concerned.

So, although I’m not a native of the Black Country I have found them to be largely jolly and upbeat folk, and I will endeavour to match that outlook as I am, after all a far better person than the cheats who probably feel very smug and clever at having diddled me and the rest. But then that is perhaps how sociopaths work and I am a good person. So there. *Blows a raspberry!*
