Jen Shah is sentenced the next week, a widow, a veteran of the Vietnam War, and a guy who claims Jen Shah’s admitted financial crimes forced them into homelessness are pleading with the court to “let the punishment fit the crime.”

Victims described the effects of Shah’s participation in a contentious telemarketing fraud scam in court records obtained by the source. Shah acknowledged this when she signed her guilty plea in July. The program purposefully targeted numerous people “beyond the age of 55.”

After a year and a half of grieving, an “exhausted, overwhelmed and disappointed” widow found what seemed to be the answer in an email. The tutoring program was offered as part of the services being pushed for a salaried sales position. The fantasy scenario quickly changed into a nightmare, despite her original belief that it would be “an investment into my future.”

The widow notes that the people who trained her through the business “charged a different sum” and claims that she was obliged to pay thousands of dollars. She found she was being “snowballed” as the “e-services tried to set up a business for me on a website” without her knowledge despite the fact that she was unable to keep up with the program’s pace and was not “confident enough” to move on alone.

She gradually started to feel depressed and worried that it might “make me suicide.”

“Your sanity is in doubt, your confidence eroded, your independence, what limited amount there is, curbed and you can’t trust anybody. You are not the same person you were before this experience,” she wrote in one document. “Whoever these telemarketers are, should cease stealing money and repay what they stole, and perform acts of restitution, such as living as we are, doing what we do with what limited resources we have, and paying for medical services, such as therapy or psychiatric meds.”

She continued, “The mental anguish is still with me, today, and the guilt I harbor from being so vulnerable and easy prey to such sharks, still swims in my mind. I do not want the next person to suffer any of these mental anxieties, such as I have. What is normal? I do not know anymore. Let the punishment fit the crime, Replace what you have taken and correct the consequences, the action caused.”

A letter was sent to the courts by a 75-year-old retiree on behalf of not only “the numerous other seniors who fell for Mrs. Jennifer Shah’s con. A number of years ago, he received “an unsolicited contact from Vision Solutions Management with the offer of coaching and instruction that would help me succeed.” He received this call just when he was struggling to launch his successful company in the digital era, and online marketing wasn’t his strongest skill.

He received “many weeks” of coaching before being contacted by Vision Management Group, a business that asserts it is unrelated to Vision Solutions Management, to continue the original service. However, he began to be wary when Position Gurus, 5 Star Quest, and MPG all contacted him “since each firm followed in sequence of what would have been the next stages for sales.”

Then he became aware of how many things seemed to be “duplicated” among the services. Later, he came to terms with the fact that he had been “conned” and had “wasted almost $40,000 trying to do right by my family.”

“Each victim of a scam has a unique tale to tell and hopes for a better retirement and way of life. When they were “forced to surrender their money for false promises,” he said, “that was taken away. “Please take into account the suffering these elders may be going through as a result of not being able to afford the food, medications, or medical care they require. Nobody whose money was taken can utilize it to improve their standard of living in retirement.

He added, “Please consider this when passing judgment on Mrs. Jennifer Shah. Her restitution and time served should put her into the same or similar hardship as her victims. It was her choice to commit the crime for fame, drinks, fun, and [luxury]. You are the Judge. I request that your judgment carry the same hardships she has caused her victims.”

Someone who is 2017 was “enthusiastic… about starting a new career” now believes Shah’s plan has “forever transformed” their “overall health.” They were contacted by one of Shah’s business partners about starting an e-commerce business from home after an unsuccessful online job hunt. She decided to acquire “many services” since the prospect “seemed promising and authentic.”

“This was the biggest mistake I had ever made in my adult life because from that point on, my life began to spiral out of control,” the victim wrote. “I had accumulated a little over $35,000 in credit card debt by early January 2018, with no profits to show. It all felt so surreal.”

They put in “diligent effort by dedicating more than 10 hours a day” to their company, but they were still unable to make a profit. When they finally discovered they had been conned, “it was too late because Jennifer and her associates had already taken my money,” they said.

They “worried constantly” about their financial status, losing sleep over it, and eventually having a heart attack “caused by intense stress” that necessitated taking four different drugs. The person ultimately started using relaxation techniques and kept working on their online store. They suddenly found themselves “barred out of my own website for several weeks,” nonetheless. Their laborious work disappeared when they were able to access the website again because “the hosting service had changed hands.”

As a result, they feel they should be compensated in full for the money they spent on Shah’s services and lost. The victim also thinks Shah ought to receive “the highest prison sentence authorized under law” in addition to “paying reparations.”
