Never ever use NewJobZ or Skills NZ to immigrate or to find a job in New Zealand
I entered a contract with NewJobZ / Stu Macann & Associates Limited / Skill NZ (claims to be employment and immigration consultant ) in April, 2006. The contract stated that, I have to pay a fee of NZD$3000.00 + 175.00 (GST) in order for them to find me a suitable full time job in New Zealand. The contract states that if they (NewJobZ) are not able to find me a job in 180 days, they will refund me NZD$2000.00. The fact is that they failed to find me a job; in fact I didnt even receive an interview call through them.
After 180 days, I contacted them for refund of NZD$2000.00, but they refused to repay me back, saying that the Company's goodwill and intellectual property including the trade name NewJobZ has been bought by Skills New Zealand Limited. They also informed me that, Skills New Zealand Limited does not and will not accept any obligation in respect of the amount owing to you by NewJobZ (Stu Macann & Associates Limited).
So I contacted Citizen Advice Bureau. Their investigation found that both these companies were owned by the same people and that Skills NZ was registered in November. I came to New Zealand as a student and when I made the payment to NewJobZ, I had to borrow it from my friends. So I would like to get back the money (NZD$2000.00) that NewJobZ owes me.

Hi Paul Jose,
Please let me know if you know their new web site, address, email & contact number I want to get in touch with them to refund my money paid to them last year Dec 18, 2006. We actually have the same experienced with Skills NZ.
I have edited this message and post a new topic regarding my story and comments with Skills New Zealand Ltd. Please have a look at it and you have any information about them please let me know.
Many thanks,
MJCatapia

Hi Paul,
I had the same bad experience and also tried to get justice done but to no avail. I have now contacted Interpol in the hope that they can at least stop this little scam

Is there any way to recover your money at this late stage.
