I am writing this formal complaint to bring to your attention the fraudulent activities conducted by Sepehr Heidarian and Bijan Heidarian, which have left me and many others as victims of their deceitful practices. It is with great concern and urgency that I share this witness statement to shed light on the Forex fraud committed by the individuals associated with VinciFX and "London Investment Trust Group Holding."
In November 2019, Sepehr Heidarian, who happened to be a childhood friend, approached me with an investment opportunity through his supposed firm, "London Investment Trust Group Holding." He promised guaranteed double returns within a few months, enticing me to invest my family's life savings of £100,000. As I was in the process of buying a home for my family, I trusted him blindly, only to realize later that it was all a well-orchestrated Ponzi scheme.
Mr. Heidarian preyed on my vulnerability and falsely represented his investment firm as a legitimate opportunity. He even went so far as to suggest that investing in his scheme would enable me to buy a bigger, better house for my family. However, as time passed and he saw that I wasn't increasing my investment, he abruptly stopped paying interest and began making excuses.
Upon investigation, I discovered that "London Investment Trust Group Holding" was an illegal entity, not licensed or authorized to conduct any financial activities. It became evident that my hard-earned money had been stolen by Sepehr Heidarian through deceit and false pretences.
Numerous attempts to contact Mr. Heidarian and reclaim my funds proved futile, and he resorted to threatening me when I asked for a refund. He claimed his account was frozen and that he was under investigation for money laundering. However, no concrete evidence has been presented to support his claims.
I also found out that he had defrauded other victims, including his own family members. His parents, Bijan Heidarian and Tahereh Miar, have lost substantial sums of money, and his sister, Setareh Heidarian, has also been affected by his fraudulent activities.
I hired a lawyer and compelled Mr. Heidarian to sign a contract promising to return my money by April 2022. However, he failed to honour this agreement, continuing to evade accountability and refusing to meet or communicate with me.
Through my investigation, I discovered that his company, L.I.T GROUP HOLDINGS (UK) Limited, was dormant and had even undergone compulsory strike-off. Such actions raise suspicions of tax evasion and asset concealment.
I have also learned that Mr. Heidarian has been forging documents to obtain loans and deceive new lenders and investors, further perpetuating his fraudulent schemes.
The impact of this Forex fraud on my family and me has been devastating, causing significant financial losses and severe mental distress. As a disabled person with a heart condition, I had hoped to secure a stable future for my family by buying a home, but Mr. Heidarian callously robbed us of this opportunity.
I urge you to take immediate action against Sepehr Heidarian, Bijan Heidarian, and their fraudulent operation, VinciFX, to protect potential victims and bring them to justice. Their actions have caused irreparable harm to innocent individuals, and it is essential to prevent further harm by stopping their illegal activities.
I am willing to cooperate fully with any investigations and court proceedings to ensure that justice is served and that these criminals are held accountable for their actions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Desired outcome: Seeking Justice: Full £100,000 restitution + compensation for 3-year hardship caused by Sepehr Heidarian and Bijan Heidarian Forex fraud. Our family's financial and emotional well-being deserves redress.
Vincifx scammed me as well. It's heartbreaking to see how many people have been affected by the fraudulent activities of Sepehr Heidarian and Bijan Heidarian. I too fell victim to their deceitful practices, putting my trust in what I believed was a legitimate investment opportunity. It's essential that we continue to shed light on these scams and work together to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. Thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness about this issue.
