    Let them believe whatever their product is you are buying. Skype In number, efax number, cheap domain, web designer PPH. Give the impression you are an Arab co, preferably from Qatar and spend months stringing them along in the belief that they will make millions. Keep communications written (because of the language barrier) and have them hanging 5 days for every respnse.

    It is optional to actually end this charade, and if you do, do it with a bang such as asking them to meet you in Doha.

    I have never done this. g:

        Not strictly true a company is technically a person in it's own right and comes in under the human rights guff

        Therefore it must have 'feelings'
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              if you mean how can you annoy the people who run a company - well firstly you need to know if they actually give a **** about you and what you think as other wise all your efforts will be in vain
              They have shown they do not care about me. I have tried endlessly to engage with them in a constructive manner. Now I have had enough. These days a lot of people look at the internet so posting on review sites helps.

              I don't want to visit them to do anything physical. I will be arrested.

              As a bit of background, I lost half my money in my only divorce(me and mrs-bp are actually very close) and the other half in a business deal. That deal started in 2008 and went wrong in 2010. Liquidators were appointed in 2012. They asked for money to get the case going - then their fees come out of recovered funds(there was always going to be a pot). I was asked to provide funds as the largest claimant. In 2013 I was told my claim was not approved - even though they asked for money on that basis!

              Their communication has been almost non existent and what I have received is almost unintelligible. In August 2015 I found out via an odd route that they had settled the case. It did not come from them. In September they received the money. In October they started to approve my claim. Then asked for a load of documentation from 2008 that no longer exists. They refused to discuss the case except via email. Finally I did get a phone call- after my shrink wrote them a letter telling them I was homicidal and suicidal. I got a promise that they would start looking at my claim with an update before Christmas. On Monday I called them and found they still needed more documentation.

              It looks as if they are trying to swallow all the money recovered in their fees.

              I know I made huge mistakes and I have paid dearly for them. I suppose they are like all professional advisors. Worry about their fee first and everything else later.

                Ahh. Yes, he's right, a company is a person. It cannot have feelings however because both are legal fictions.

                I am not a person, although I have one (well a few technically).
                I'm a smug bastard.

                      OK, serious for one sec: Are you an investor or a creditor as an investor you are very low in the pecking order and yes, the liquidators interest is to pay themselves first. As a creditor the lanscape is different, but not too much.
