About TBD Star World
The STAR Project is an awareness campaign and initiative of TBD Sports Management which is geared towards educating young African football players and their parents about the existence of criminals posing as football agents in order to extort money from unsuspecting youngsters.
Mode of Operation
Young players are contacted by 'agents' and promised football trials in Europe, UK and the United States. They are asked for considerable sums of money and are told it covers medicals, insurance and the processing of visa applications. Once the money has been transferred either into a bank account or via western union, the 'agent' disappears and the player is left with neither a football trial nor the money. These conmen usually target their victims using popular social networking tools like Facebook and twitter; and in majority of cases use names of authorized agents culled from the FIFA website.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
• to protect young African players from being exploited
• to protect Africa's next generation of football stars
• to educate young African players about the dangers of not adopting the STAR approach
• to make young African players and their parents aware of these fake agent operations
BENEFITS
1. Educational
• educates young players and provides a broader knowledge of the industry
• creates an awareness (to players and their parents) about the operation of fake agents (for instance, signs to look out for)
2. Social
• a reduction in player trafficking to Europe (and elsewhere)
• provides young footballers a safe, smooth and incident free course in their quest to develop
• through the awareness created, fake agent activity is exposed thus reducing the chances of future success
3. Financial
• a saving in money (for the player) which would have been paid to the fake agents
STAR is an acronym for Stop, Think, Ask and then React.

T stands for THINK
