Seems that the police are taking action. Support is still needed. If you have a complaint, it would be helpful if you could please contact the CID unit at the Central Police Station at Sheung Wan (just near the Macau Ferry Terminal) or even easier, go onto the police website and lodge a complaint via the internet.
Another victim
I am another victim. My son was enrolled for the Spring 2012 term for mini-sport at Stanley Ho. Same story as the rest of you. I have filed a complaint with Consumer Council on Feb 17. The reply was there was little they can do as there was no other similar complains. They suggested me to report to the police. Now that I know there are so many victims and some of you have reported to the police, I will do the same too. I hope it is not too late.

All fault is with the current registered owner, Joe, and this has nothing to do with Sally Cinnamond. Sally started the company many years ago with Joe, but Sally and her family moved back to England about 3 years ago and has NOTHING to do with the company. Joe took the Play Sport company over completely and ran it into the ground. So please do NOT contact Sally or complain to her, she is not involved at all - Sally is a 100% honest person and would be horrified to know how Joe has mismanaged the business that she put a huge amount of time into developing and did a great job when she was here, despite Joe's limitations. But she has nothing to do with the company anymore so please go after Joe (I have no idea where he is: have not seen him for about 6 months and would be in touch with the cops if I did know or did see him), and please leave Sally out of it completely.

To all concerned:.
This thread and situation has become of particular interest to me and I would like to get confirmation of the past/current situation.

this has been an interesting read indeed. I used to hire PlaySport to provide services for the organisation I work for. I had their contract cancelled four or perhaps even five years ago now. I had originally met with both Joe Livesey and Sally Cinnamond and can confirm that Sally left soon after and would not be aware of what Joe has ended up doing. Joe was very unpredictable and spoke to people rather abrasively. The last straw for me came when he didn't show up for a class and I rang and rang and rang and he finally picked up the phone and it was clear he was in one of those 24 hour discos down in Wanchai (it was 10am when I was calling). I had his contract cancelled and I felt rather threatened afterwards because if I saw him in the street he'd clench his fists. Luckily for us, the way our billing works, is that he had to submit billing at the end of the month for services provided rather than him receiving money up front. Seems to me we dodged a bullet. Very sorry to hear that all of you have been taken for a ride.
