2022/04/05, 11:32 - Client: Good day Mayfair puppies, I am a private investigator that has been investigating your premises for a time now as I got a few clients that were scammed by you for advertising that you are a breeder and selling puppies all around. My client informed me that you never answer your call when they are calling you. You are sending Can't talk now. What's up? I was also informed that the client needs to pay upfront for the puppy with proof of payment before proceeding with anything else. My one client said that they never got their tracking number from you for the puppy to be delivered. I have officials watching your premises 24/7 for the last few days and following you around as soon as you leave your premises.

I am going to ask you to pay back that money without the next 20 minutes' immediate payment as well to the following account:

BANK: Client

NAME: Client ACCOUNT NUMBER: Client

BRANCE CODE: Client

REFERENCE: Your Name

All accounts that you took money from needs to be paid back immediately you will first pay back the R3150.00 to this account: BANK:

ACCOUNT NUMBER: Client

BRANCE CODE:

REFERENCE: Your Name

If you have not paid the money back within those 20 minutes without you sending proof to me that you have paid back, I am sending my officials onto your premises to have you arrested immediately. Don't think about leaving as my officials are watching you and following you were ever you go and whenever you are leaving your premises. This has been going on for a few weeks now.

I am going to be investigating this further, please take note that I am going to make you public all over so that everyone knows that you are a puppy scammer for using a courier company by changing the details a little bit so that the people think you are actually using that company even if I have you arrested people will still know about. Like I said I have been investigating you for a time now.

2022/04/05, 15:30 - Client: Are you going to give me my money back?

Mayfair cigarettes

Today I bought 40 Mayfair king size,
To bo told that they are being replaced by original blue Mayfair, so I opened them up & started smoking one, not anything like king size !
Milder & giving me a sore throat !
Well ! If this is a replacement you can keep the bloody things! I will change brands even though I've been with Mayfair for over 30 years! Con merchants springs to mind !

Mayfair Fraud

Dear Sirs,
MayFair is an Agency based in London and offers his services to purchase US properties. I signed the attached contract in which it is stated that MayFair would have identified a suitable property in the US. After paying the requested deposit MayFair participated in a shortsell in Detroit and at the end of last July communicated to me that they secured the shortsell and they requested to pay the balance of $52, 990 by the 5th of August, to conclude the deal. I transferred the money at the beginning of August at the end of September the owner of MayFair, Mr Walia declared insolvency and applied for voluntary liquidation.
At this point there is sufficient evidence that MayFair is a fraude for the following reasons:
(a) £100, 000 are missing and the Director is claiming that he lost the money in the stock exchange because the Articles of Associates & Memorandum of the MayFair Group allows him as a Director to do so. This is unsustainable because the attached legal agreement mention only that MayFair will use the clients’ money to purchase US properties and nothing is mentioned about the possibility of using the clients’ money to gamble in the stock exchange;
(b) The account books of MayFair have gone missing; and
(c) Mr Walia applied for voluntary liquidation without having the right to do so (e.g. no transaction in the previous three months).
Now Mr Walia is planning to declare personal bankrupty
Basically my questions are:
(a) What is the possibility of finding where my $52, 990 have gone ?
(b) What is the possibility of pressing criminal charges against Mr Walia and the chance of him being condemned for fraude ?
Kind reagards
