Overdue Update, with Spotlight on Julius Clarke’s Involvement and Activities


Despite not having posted to this blog since early 2024, I am still very much dedicated to seeking action/consequences against Josh and anyone else involved in knowingly scamming individuals and businesses. Since my last post, I have come across a lot of new information still ongoing, as well as piecing together some older information too. There is far too much to condense into one blog post, but we have come across a lot of information, new activity from Josh, and also looked into others who appear to have been knowingly involved in assisting Josh. It has been staggering to realise just how many people and factors make this possible. However, I have felt it necessary to update this blog as it appears that Josh may still be getting money from clients of ConvrtX. If you’ve ever been approached by someone appearing to act in a professional capacity for Josh/ConvrtX, this post may be worth reading as I will be highlighting Julius Clarke of Coastal State Solutions who acted as ‘legal counsel’ for ConvrtX back in 2022. This will hopefully help victims realise just how far these people are willing to go to keep their activities going. But please be aware that this approach does not stop with apparent legal representatives/advisors. I am personally aware of legal representatives, compliance officers, and debt collection agents acting on behalf of ConvrtX/Josh. There are 2 debt collection agencies I know of so far. I expect there may be more, and I would not rule out other methods of intimidating and silencing victims having taken place that I’ve not been made aware of as of yet. These tactics may be scary at first, because most realistically assume that no one would be as bold and confident taking such measures unless they were lawful and enforceable. Whilst I can’t talk of every case, I would urge anyone affected to consider whether or not this kind of scenario applies to their own dealings with Josh. And if so, reach out if you feel I can help or that your story needs heard. But moving back to Julius Clarke… You can read of my personal ordeal with Julius in 2022 here, where he continually contacted me despite me expressing discomfort due to what I deemed to be offensive, sexist, misogynistic, and sexually harassing emails he had previously sent me. Julius introduced himself as a legal representative of ConvrtX, partner of Coastal State Solutions, and also bizarrely shared he was a Taekwondo Master and Leather Craftsman. Honestly, this was the first major red flag. He was very insistent on talking and having me remove negative reviews I’d left Josh/ConvrtX. After receiving the insulting emails from him, I made clear numerous times that he should contact my husband (a registered employee of my business and had full authority to speak on behalf of the business). I also relayed this to Josh. It was ignored and I continued to receive multiple aggressive emails, and one such email response my husband received when he tried to engage explicitly refused to communicate with him and that only I could talk with Julius. What kind of legal counsel would continue to message someone who had expressed discomfort due to stating they felt their correspondence was sexually inappropriate!? Fun fact; on one call, Julius told me to calm down and that I should not be emotional. I accused him of misogyny… he asked me what misogyny meant! Julius eventually sent me a Cease and Desist instructing me to remove my reviews or face potential legal action. The letter attached cc’d solicitor of a recognised solicitor firm. But my husband spotted there was no actual email cc. Maybe they were bcc’d? When we asked Julius about this, he became seemingly hostile and said he did not need to explain this. We now know that the solicitor and the firm had no knowledge of Julius, Josh, or ConvrtX having approached them for clarification. More on this can be found here. Eventually, an agreement was made that I would temporarily remove my reviews, and Josh/ConvrtX would finish and deliver my products, subject to a signed agreement. I’m sure you can guess where this led… after much pressing for an outright answer, Julius confirmed outright that they would refuse to deliver my products unless I signed an NDA. I’m guessing they didn’t expect someone to forfeit £33,000 for their right to talk freely, as I refused. I was pretty confident I wasn’t getting my products either way, so why silence myself? So, to recap how Julius Clarke fits into this and was portraying himself to be of legal knowledge; 1. He sent me inappropriate, harassing, and sexually offensive emails in my opinion. 2. Refused to take instruction to communicate with an authorised employee of my company. 3. Continued to contact me despite my firm request he not do so due to feeling uncomfortable with him. 4. Sent an NDA, as signed by him, citing a solicitor of a legitimate firm indicating they represented ConvrtX. 5. Refused to clarify why he did not include the firm in the email cc. 6. Eventually was found to have cited said solicitor with their knowledge or permission. 7. Pressured me to sign an NDA with the threat of withholding products. Worryingly, he did actually send apparent evidence of graduating a London University with a general law degree, with the award of lower second class grading. I have included a screenshot of the image he provided. So. Be cautious and question who has approached you on behalf of Josh/ConvrtX. If this is the lengths he went to with me, I can only imagine what others have endured. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to share your experiences or contact me if you have any questions. I am still committed to stopping and exposing this.
