Scam Online Placement Website
After two years of that, from last November 2021, he started sending me court notice to attend the court and he lower the amount to 1200$ in that court notice. I also saw on this website where he was mentioned as scam agency and demand everyone for additional money. Can someone report and start investigate on Ryan Au-Yeung.
Why would I pay money as he didn't help me to find a job. He cleared mentioned in his website that he won’t charge any money for interview placements.
As a last attempt to talk this out, I reached out to Rakesh one week before the court date. Instead, he refused and left this review on February 11, 2022, and the court date was on February 17, 2022 (see attached).
Services were provided to Rakesh starting from July 2018. He could have left the review from the year 2018 to 2021 but he specifically did it one week before the court date to retaliate.
Attached is the minute order that contains the court judgment results.

The contract that we signed in July 2018 charged for resume writing and interview placement. We have since changed our business model to only charge for job placements. You did not pay for the services to write your resume or place you in 7 interviews. Instead, you blocked our email address, LinkedIn profile, and phone number.
We sent you warnings by email and text but you did not reply. Therefore, we had no choice but to sue you in small claims court in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
We said that we wanted to settle outside of court. However, you would not cooperate and continued to ignore our messages. You did not show up to the court date. We provided proof to the judge and received a default judgment against you.
After winning the small claims court, you continue to ignore our messages and refuse to pay. So, we need to use alternative methods to collect the money owed.
For anyone interested in the results of the small claims court, please see the attached PDF document. You may also see the small claims result by searching the case number 21SC086124 on https://portal.scscourt.org/search.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to ask you to investigate the scam online job placement company called Expledge, found at www.expledge.com, which is operated by a man named Ryan Au-Yeung. This company engages in unlawful business practices and appears to be aimed at taking advantage of consumers who are seeking job opportunities. The company is a scam, that entices consumers to sign up for the job placement service with the promise of help finding a job, but then provides no service whatsoever – and then demands a large fee from the consumer when the consumer later finds a job on their own.
In my case, I signed up to receive job placement services from Expledge. The Expledge website required me to sign a multipage contract stating that I was required to pay them placement fee if I they helped me find a job. The contract also disclosed that I could pay a small termination fee if it the service did not work out. English is my second language and the lengthy contract, which was full of legalese, was confusing. (I have asked someone to help me write this letter and pursue my legal claims against Expledge.)
After I signed up for the service, the company Expledge did absolutely nothing for me in getting my current job. They provided no guidance and provided me with no assistance whatsoever. Because I was not getting any job in exchange for the service, I decided to terminate the service. (Notably, the company has blocked me out of my account with them and I no longer have access to the termination letter I sent them and other important information_.
Because this scam of a Company provided no service of any kind to, I terminated my contract on June 1, 2018. The company accepted my termination letter and sent me an invoice of $*** as job search fee. Even though I received nothing from this company, I was prepared to pay the termination invoice. However, shortly after I terminated, my agreement, Expledge started demanding even more money from me.
Although they provided no assistance to me of any kind, Expledge claims their contract included language that said that if I were able to find a job on my own –even after I terminated their services because they were of no value – I was still obligated to pay them a large job placement fee based on a percentage of my annual income.
In my case, after I terminated this service, and without any help at all from Expledge, I was in fact able to find a job at a company called Reputation.com. Expledge is now sending me threatening emails and messages demanding that I pay them $2560 as a placement fee. What is more, Expledge has sent the bill to collections after only a few weeks, and is threatening to ruin my credit. See attached letter dated June 20, 2018 from the collections company called Kinum.
I respectfully request that your organization commence an investigation of Expledge and Ryan Au-Yeung. This company is a complete scam. The company entices desperate consumers to sign up for help seeking a job, and then provides no services – and then demands payment when consumers find a job on their own after they terminate their agreement with this company. One indication that they are a scam company is that they sent this debt to collections almost immediately after they sent me a demand for the initial payment. It appears that they are using the collection company Kinum as a way to harass consumers into making payments that are not owed. Kinum’s debt collection practices should also be investigated.
In addition, the company Expledge does not appear to have a physical address, provides no means to get in touch with them on their website (no office address and no phone) and does not appear to be licensed or registered to do business in California. I have searched the California Secretary of State website and they are not incorporated or registered in California. As such, I believe it is illegal for them to operate their business. I am further advised that they do not have the ability to enter into contracts at all. See Cal. Corps. Code §§ 2105, 2203 and Cal. Rev. and Tax. Code § 23304.1; and see Neogard Corp. v. Malott & Peterson-Grundy, 106 Cal.App.3d 213, 219-220 (1980) (corporation transacting business in California without qualifying to do so risks a number of sanctions, both civil and criminal, including the right to maintain lawsuit). Contracts formed while a company’s status is invalid (i.e., unqualified or suspended) are voidable at the option of the other party; this means that the contract remains in effect but the other party may cancel it. White Dragon Prods. v. Performance Guars., 196 Cal. App. 3d 163, 168-169 (1987) (contract entered into when party was not qualified with state is voidable and remains so even after party qualifies in California).
I am happy to provide additional information and assist you in any way in your investigation and, hopefully, prosecution of Mr. Ryan Au-Yeung and his scam company.
Sincerely,
