I need urgent help and dont know where else to post this?

We went into what we thought was an exclusive contract for financing Start ups. (We signed contracts). We paid an fee for this exclusivity. Nothing happened. Followed Up. promises promises. Then they tried to get more money out of us another R225K. So my red flags were blazing. I analysed the emails and saw they they were also thrying to get our concept that we are launching in March. Well there was no way on earth they would get that. But thats off topic. I put them on terms which they ignored.

I went to the SAPS yesterday and spoke to the Captain who says that it would be difficult to get the prosector to take on the case due to the fact that it would be considered a civil matter. I need to get the case to stick as a criminal matter to avoid a 3 year court battle and extensive legal fees. Apart from that I feel that it is also a criminal matter. There are scam alerts on hellopeter.com aswell for the same company but on reported very recently.

Any ideas???
