This is the new website of Jimmy Crangle, a major scammer who has changed websites several times to keep running his scam. His old websites, which are now offline, but you can still see what was there: itefl.org, eenglish.org, iteachaway.org. This new website is the same attempt to sell fake TEFL courses with phony accreditation and trying to recruit people to give him money to help sell his courses, but they will never get any sales.

I was a "franchisee" for this company in 2018. I paid $30,000 for the chance to run my own online business. What I got was way different. I hired a professional marketing agency to advertise for me, and even they couldn't get any results, even though the director, Jimmy Crangle, had agreed that they knew what they were doing. As it turns out, I am not alone and have since met over 20 people who have been scammed by this company. They recently changed their website from itefl.org to eenglish.org. They are orchestrating a major Ponzi scheme taking thousands of dollars from their franchisees and then waiting for them to figure out that it was a bad deal. After I inevitably found this out, I asked for my money back and they simply blamed everything on me and refused. I threatened them with legal action and they agreed to sign a "Settlement Agreement" in which they would pay me back at the rate of $250/month. I agreed, not knowing what else to do and they failed to honor their first payment, so I got upset and contacted some of their affiliates to inform them of what they were doing. They then threatened me and offered to have my money paid back to me within a few months. A few months go by and right before they're due to refund me, they decide that I've broken the agreement and cut off all contact.

They are simply stalling for time as they continue to swindle people out of tens of thousands of dollars. They claim their TEFL courses are "accredited by the International TEFL Organization", but what they don't tell you is that the ITO is just the former name of their company, which can easily be found out with a simple Google search. They also steal referrals and broke their contract several times. They claimed in my contract that they would never recruit any more franchisees after Oct. 31,2018 and then continued to recruit franchisees and tried to say the same thing in Aug. 2019. They also claimed that once a customer clicked on my link, they were my customer for life, but I knew people who clicked on my link to sign up for the course and never got credit for them.

I should have read these reviews before I signed up with Herolocity. The negative ones say it all. They're a bunch of crooks. They promise the world and then under-deliver. I waited 3 weeks past the deadline for my website as they promised day after day that it would be released "within 24 hours". * was responsible for my campaign and I scheduled dozens of meetings, none of which he ever showed up to. I thought maybe it was just a communication problem that they could sort out, but it became clear that the entire organization was like this when they missed a meeting and then demanded I wait for them to finish what they're doing before they get back to me. I finally abandoned ship once it became clear what they were up to. They were going to make promises and then, once again, fail to deliver. I heard from my contact in the company that several people had been quitting, so apparently they were having trouble keeping employees because it's just a crappy place, and it shows in everything they do. Don't let them talk you into it. Don't walk, RUN away from Herolocity!
