payment

I have paid an amount of R20,000 in a view to start a business by trading. They was a lady who came and present the business I fall love as I am not work. I have completed the form and the money was deducted from my credit card. they indicated to me that they are going to open a trade account I provided them with all the document they were looking for. please help to check if the company is legally operating or not. many people they have join and others are still going to fall in the trap. after realise that the staff is giving me different answers and promises then raise a concern and started to email other people who are alreay affected.
