UK expatriate Bangladeshis who lost money they had handed over to money transfer operatives have heard their experiences being referred in a brief 'adjournment' 'debate' held in the UK House of Commons [18 July 2007]. So overly hyped has that one staged ‘debate’ been that a local newspaper staffer in East London has himself been glorified by a trade outfit ‘Hold the FrontPage’ about the alleged role played by the reporter in allegedly breaking the news of the alleged collapse of the alleged company.

UK Bangladeshis' Action Committee to Get the People their Money Back – latest , Sunday 19.08.2007

The UK Bangladeshis who lost money to perpetrators operating behind the front ‘First Solution’ are still waiting to get their money back.

It has been a full SEVEN weeks – 8 Sundays – since there was a mass gathering of people blocking the East End street so associated with the UK Bangladeshis.

It has been seven weeks of endless wait. The people have not received their money back. But in the same time, a number of secondary fraudsters has almost made a name for themselves, at the expense of the victims.

We are about to name one of the secondary fraudsters.

The context is that we are accusing ALL THE DIVERTERS of in fact aiding and abetting the perpetrators. Who have been the DIVERTERS? The brief answer is hat those who have said that the UK Govt should do something about the theft or that the holding of a 'debate' in the House of Commons addressed the real issue of the perpetrators guilt and responsibility or those who promoted the idea that a William Beverage Foundation charity bid would justly solve the problem of the duty of the perpetrators to immediately return the money to the people who are owed it.

As stated in our previous posts, we are also looking at the role of some of the ethnicity linked titles ['newspapers']. As far as we have established, ALL of those have been shielding the perpetrators.

What do we mean by shielding?

We mean that by publishing and distributing patently false information that gave excuses to the perpetrators and by promising that the money was about to be returned, these publications have undermined the campaign of moral pressure that was building up within the community.

There are other similar instances we shall detail in future updates now scheduled to be posted on Monday and Tuesday of this week [20 and 21 August 2007]

We are also about to show how these secondary fraudsters have been diverting attention away from the shoulders of the primary culprits and giving the primary perpetrators room to continue to avoid paying the people their money back.

But before we do so, we need to verify some of the information that we have collected.

To understand the events, it is important o remember what was seen in Brick Lane on Sunday 1 July 2007


On Sunday 1 July 2007, several hundred people gathered in Brick Lane.

They stayed there for a few hours.


Many of them said they had lost money. They said that they had given money for family, relatives and colleagues in Bangladesh. They had given money individuals that took the money under an apparent cover of ‘First Solution’.

All the people in Brick Lane on Sunday 1 July 2007 claiming to have stolen money to the perpetrators that had taken their money via ‘First Solution’, were Bangladeshis. Expatriate Bangladeshis in the UK.

Quite a few of these victims were agitated to the point that they held up posters carrying the illustrated picture of one of the perpetrators whom they held more responsible than the others. They called this individual Dr Fraud Mahmood.

A number of the Bangladeshis then flicked a few of these posters on to the ground before trampling on them for a few minutes. As they did so, they cursed and swore at the individuals they held responsible for the grand theft.


So why were these people in Brick Lane?

Although there was a shop, now shut, with the signboard ‘First Solution’ in Brick Lane, the people had not come to Brick Lane for something else.

But what was it that they were there for?

Had someone promised them something?

Had someone given them assurances that hey would get their money back if they came to Brick Lane on Sunday 1 July 2007?


The Action Committee has established that a SECONDARY FRAUD was perpetrated on the victims on that Sunday.

We have now put a number of questions to a very relevant party for verification and we shall be publishing our next update on Monday 20 August 2007 whether or not we receive the responses to these questions we have put to that party.
