Serious Fraud Squad (SFO) & First Solution Money Transfer
Everyone, please correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that the Serious Fraud Squad (SFO) were investigating Dr Fraud aka Dr Fazal Mahmoods & Co’s First Solution Money Transfer Ltd.
We’ll I wrote to the SFO recently asking if they could provide me with any updates as I am a creditor of First Solution. The response I got back from the SFO seems to suggest that they are not investigating it at this stage.
The SFO directed me to Tower Hamlets Trading Standard Team. However, Tower Hamlets Trading Standard are insisting all creditors contact the Official Receivers directly.
Below is the email I sent to the SFO and also the response I got back from the SFO.
Have I misread the response?

Hi
I understand that you are investigating First Solution Money Transfer
Ltd based at the London Muslim centre, Whitechapel, London E1, which
closed its doors to customers end of June 2007.
I’m a creditor of that company and I wanted to know if you are in any
position to provide an update.
I would greatly appreciate your help and please let me know if I can
help in any way.
Regards
–
