If they sold it to you as a “franchise” definitely get the FTC involved. There are federal laws involved selling a franchisee agreement versus a licensing agreement.

Might be able to dig up an actual name by finding who registered the corporation. They said they took advantage of a Canadian tax benefit for tech companies (I’ll see if I can find the program), that might of interest to the authorities. 2249461 ALBERTA LTD dba DRONES FORCE

Also their Instagram post about being at a drone expo in Japan was a lie (see attached pic). Clearly photoshopped logos and they weren’t on the list of vendors on display. https://ssl.japan-drone.com/en_la/results/exhibitor_list.html If I had to guess, unless anyone has met them in person, they’re not even in Canada.

I was looking into them around July and backed out once I saw their Google reviews. Clearly fraudulent and paid for. Multiple reviewers giving 5 stars to Drones Force, locksmiths in Jamaica, places in France, etc. All were either world travelers that happened to review the exact same unique places; or they were paying a firm for fake reviews which is illegal in the USA. Then the ads saying “franchise” but in discussions saying it was a licensing agreement instead so they could attempt to get around FTC laws. Should get all affected and do a class action along with handing them over to the proper authorities in Canada. I doubt I was given anyone’s actual names though as they were ghosts on social media.
