I decided to get in to a franchise business since I am new in starting my own business and needed the assistance of a franchise. I decided to get in to a cell phone store since I like technology and it was low maintenance. I saved up 7k and used 3k from my credit card for franchise fee. The franchiser is MobileHQ. Basically, three months later the president decided to "resign" and emptied the bank account and took off.
I never got to open my store, never had any type of training, and out 10k. While some some franchises had the training and got to open their store others, there are others, like me, never had a chance. From what I heard, he (Geoff Bluenthal) took off with 500k maybe more.
Since I never had any training or opened my store, can I get my fee back? And how can I go about doing so? What legal actions (criminal) can be brought against this jerk? Since they were based in Mesa, AZ and I am in another state, can the FBI be brought in to this? Please help, thank you.
