AstroTurf : making you seek truth from lies

Author A Ted talk has been forwarded to us by a member , it is extremely relevant it is only 10 minutes long and a must see

International fraud connection with Equity law
Equity law is situated at Level 4, 44 Khyber Pass Rd, Grafton, Auckland, its sole director and shareholder is available through the companies office
It would appear that Equity trust is involved in the maintenance of registration of several companies, which have been reported in the international press, as being involved with international fraud and corruption . such companies are Falcona sustems , Unihold , Maxhold see naked Capitalism ” New Zealand, Fresh From Its Service to Mexican Drug Lords, Helps Out the Russian Mafia “
These companies came to the attention of the international press in 2012 Unihold Limited was involved in an international money laundering scam see story ” Behind the Proxies” here
When you look up the register you will see that the director at the time was a Mr Erik Vanagels from Panama and that the company is registered to Level 4, 44 Khyber Pass Road. Vanagels reputedly a Latvian alcoholic had well over 200 New Zealand companies under his belt the majority of which have now been stuck off however 2 companies remain on the resister Being Bergstone and Eurozone Corporation . While Bergstone is about to be struck off due to no annual return being filed, Steven Green , director of Equity trust International has filed an annual return for Eurozone there by keeping the company directed by this renowned proxy director alive.
Erik Vanangels, international man of mystery , is actually a Latvian who according to a news item is a ” hard-drinking pensioner in Latvia “ is simply amazing that his address should also be “Buzon 1987, Zone 9a, Carrasquilla & Via Espana, Panama City, Panama” (is that Buzon or BOOZE ON ) see also Fraud trail leads to OAP’s tiny flat
One would expect that if a company with integrity had been caught out by a bad deal such as the 150 million dollar money laundering incident that they would steer well clear of Mr Vanagels instead we find that a number of other companies are registered to him courtesy of Equity law . These companies include GRANDWEST LIMITED , DARTHOLM CAPITAL LIMITED ,WOODPORT LIMITED ,INTRANS LIMITED,FAIRPORT LIMITED,BRANDGOLD BUSINESS LIMITED and more all owned by Unihold. (It has to be noted that by January 2014 these companies had all been struck off by the registrar of companies.)
This address is also the registered office for other companies such as ENTROFIELD LIMITED owned by SWEDHOLD LIMITED owned by GENHOLD LIMITED owned by TRUST (NZ) HOLDINGS LIMITED owned by the occupants of Flat 8a, 4 Short Street, Auckland Central, Auckland, 1010 , New Zealand .
The shareholder is the wife of a former lawyer the address is the one which he also used as his own address, this property is owned by her and is currently up for sale.The real estate agent has advertised the unit as “Owners Moving Overseas” Update :it has been sold to LSE limited a company owned and directed by lawyer george Bogiatto
Last year we found that the lawters wife held some 1500 companies some of these were transferred to Grigori CHELOUDIAKOV of Beach road Te Atatu , we failed to locate him until we realized that he is one and the same as Greg Shelton who appears to be yet another of equities proxy directors .
It appears that he has been using his name Gregory Shelton for many years but in 2013 Steven J
ames GREEN ( EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ) records him as Grigori CHELOUDIAKOV for several companies formerly under the directorship of Inta Bilder and owned by Unihold . The same side ways shuffle also occurred with Crestpoint trade where shelton briefly became a shareholder and was removed again placing Maxhold back on the register . Maxhold and Unihold are both ultimately owned by as per this flow diagram click for enlargement
The full spread sheet can be seen here companies. We have done our best but due to many changes errors could exist so please check all information .
Staff members at Equity are frequently asked to be directors and shareholders, the recent receptionist was a proxy director for several companies one of which was 4-way Logistics limited when she resigned the directorship was taken over by Leah TOURELEO who according to open corporates holds directorships in a raft of international companies and is yet another Proxy director.
We were told that the remuneration for this is $300.00 per year .
An immigration service also operates from this address http://www.immigrationnz.co.nz/index.php/our-people and actively solicits investors into New Zealand to gain residency .the web site is owned by Equity law Ltd Whois Search _ immigrationnz.co.nz
Perhaps MR Erik Vanagels should apply .
* this article was updated 14/7/2014 to address issues of alleged defamation by and associates . Everything in this post and others is factual it is truth and honest opinion . The complaint came just five days after the LCRO ( law complaints review office ) confirmed a date for the lawyers hearing . The court papers are located here statement of claim , since then he has also taken Bankruptcy action against our director , originally on false documents, the law society had decided that he owed her nearly $30,000 something he has appealed.
We have written to lawyer Greg Stewart who is the solicitor on record , there have been many opportunities given for amendment by the Plaintiffs but hey choose to be vague. There have now been no less than four offers to correct amend adjust the content. Everything published here is truth and honest opinion and published in the public interest.
Greg Stewart is also a director of Equity trust International yet he has not declared this to the court.
The law firm , now apparently operated by Greg Stewart of Alexandra through Joo Yeon ( julia ) Leenoh is behind many other companies which also have their address at 4, 44 Khyber Pass Rd, Grafton, Auckland, one such company is equity trust International Limited whose sole shale holder is his wife and the directors are Lawyer Greg Stewart and a Mr Steven Green of Manurewa .
Charity Fraud – I should have stayed quite
Further open letter to Wyn Hoadley
re charity number CC11235 The Animal Welfare Institute Of New Zealand
Wyn
I have phoned you and tried to talk to you but you always say that you are to busy .
You claim to be the chair person of a AWINZ which through a trustee, Neil Wells is trying to liquidate my company
Last year you liquidated my company when you pretended to serve documents on me and that liquidation was over turned with the Judge stating that the proceedings were blighted
You have taken this action despite the fact that there are proceedings before the court filed in March 2012 which show that the sums you are claiming were obtained by fraud.
Your Charity has never performed one charitable function it was set up to cover up the fact that Neil Wells wrote legislation for his own business plan and then advised on it. He then applied under the resulting legislation for ” approval” from the ministers as a law enforcement authority. he did this in the name of a trust which did not exist at that time.
Wyn I have gone through this with you before in an open letter Open letter to Wyn Hoadley councillor TCDC and I have questioned your fitness to be a barrister Is Wyn Hoadley fit to be a Lawyer, A trustee or a councillor?
You claim to be chair person of a trust which in its deed states that it will encourage promotion of humane attitudes in societies to people
Yet the way you are treating me is in the most in humane manner
Your husband Steve is a professor in Human rights , he is condoning you action with his silence Open letter to Stephen Hoadley Human Rights Professor
Wyn I just wanted to talk to you about the fact that every 2 months it costs me a small fortune to have the statutory demand which is fraudulently being pursued agaisnt me. I know your desire is to cause me as much financial harm as possible and your actions just prove it.
Wyn Charities are being struck off Family First finds unlikely ally in charitable status fight yet some how you and Neil Wells can run this sham and get away with it.
If you were at all half human and acted according to your alleged deed which you signed in December 2006 some five months after you claimed to be a trustee and made false claims to the court , then you would at least talk to me .
I told you I would send you an email and you said that you would not be checking your emails for a while .
I said I would come and stand outside your house with a placard until you did have time and you said that I was threatening you .
so what options are you going to leave me with.. Wyn every two months I get huge bills because of you , you have severely darkened my twilight years and you just want me to roll over and go away ?
Wyn you have got away with this too long , you are bleeding me dry you have had over $120,000 from me already to cover up for your lies , you know I have money sitting in a trust account to cover most of the rest of the debt which you obtained by fraud.
The court has been sitting on this for 9 months the papers were filed in March 2012 . Why is it that you can lie and cheat your way through justice ? I also suspect that you have influence on the court and again you will come out smelling like roses just as Terry Hay has done .. he managed to get all 22 of his fraud charges dropped , if you are a barrister or can afford to pay one it appears that you can get away with murder.
Your lawyers act agaisnt the rules and you condone this Brookfields Lawyers continue to act illegally Yet the law society does nothing.
Wyn you are older than me I will fight this so that the truth will come out even after you Die I will carry on and you will never rest in peace as I will ensure that like Jimmy Savile you will be exposed after you are gone .
Or you could prove that you are humane and do the decent thing and be prepared to sit and discus to resolve matters and to take the stress and financial hardship away from me
Perhaps one of your neighbours will volunteer to facilitate our civilized discussion over a cup of tea , I will put a leaflet round as follows to see if any one will help.
Dear Neighbour of Wyn and Steve Hoadley
Wyn is the chairperson of a trust called the Animal welfare institute of New Zealand , I am a licensed private investigator( former police sergeant and police prosecutor ) and got involved in 2006 when a dog control officer at Waitakere city council approached me and asked me to find out who or what the animal welfare institute of New Zealand was. (AWINZ )
AWINZ was one of two approved organisations (section 121 animal welfare act) the RNZSPCA is the other.
Approved organisations have coercive law enforcement powers and by virtue of section 171 of the act the proceeds of prosecution are returned to the organisation fines can be up to $350,000,this was the perfect fraud
The RNZSPCA is an incorporated society it fundraises and runs its operations from donations bequests etc.
AWINZ on the other hand had no legal existence , no trust deed was discoverable , it was nothing more than a pseudonym. It operated from Waitakere city council premises and required the council dog control officers to “volunteer “their council paid time. They used the council’s vehicles and infrastructure to prioritise work for AWINZ over that of the council.
The manager of dog and stock control Neil Wells was the only visible person of AWINZ.
He had written the No 1 bill for the animal welfare act and had advised as independent advisor to the select committee on the two bills as they were considered by the select committee.
When the bill passed in to law he made an application for “approved status” using a fictional name and by misleading the minister as to the nature and existence of AWINZ, which at the time of the application had no existence at all other than being an impressive name.
I asked 2 questions one of MAF- why was a non-existent organisation give law enforcement powers
The other of Waitakere why did their manager contract to himself for animal welfare services which were not the council’s core function.
He had changed the signage of the council dog control unit and cars so that AWINZ and the council premises looked like one and the same.
To prove categorically that AWINZ did not exist, I with others registered the name animal welfare institute of New Zealand as a charitable trust under the charitable trust act this was on 27 April 2006.
Wyn Hoadley became involved on 10 May 2006 After intimidating us to give up the name she and wells and Graeme Coutts took me to court for passing off breach of fair trade and defamation, Wyn Hoadley was part of this process even though she had no prior involvement and did not sign any documents which made her a trustee
Wells had applied for approved status on 22.11.99 allegedly on behalf of a trust In 2006 he produced a trust deed dated 1.3.2000, you don’t need to be an Einstein to work out that the trust could not have made the application . not one of the persons involved with this alleged trust was ever involved with the running of the law enforcement authority in any manner or means – they had not even formally met.
Hoadley became a trustee at a time when the trust deed is proved to be missing and without any formal procedure to bind her to the deed she became chairperson but would not discuss anything with me saying she was not the messenger ?
Her false claims alleging that she was a trustee of the trust brought costs of $ 12,200 against me.
I was given 2 weeks to pay Hoadley and her associated then dropped the false claims that had brought about the costs. – They had to, they could not prove them.. I have a truck load of evidence to prove she was misleading the court with false claims.
They used these costs to strike out my defence of truth and honest opinion on the defamation claims
No evidence was ever produced and the matter went straight to the civil equivalent of sentencing the only evidence was the uncorroborated evidence of Wells for which I have truckloads of evidence to show it was perjury.
While they had me before the district court they also had me in the high court on bankruptcy application,
I was fined $57.500 and 41,000 court costs for pointing out serious corruption – writing legislation for his own business plan using insider information, misleading the crown and using council premises for private pecuniary gain
I Got a lawyer paid him a small fortune my marriage to broke down -23 years and a family in tatters all because I had stumbled on corruption . I should have stayed quite
My bank accounts were frozen and I had to represent myself again judge took 11 months to come out with a decision which went against me, don’t think he read anything except Judge Joyce decision in which Neil Wells makes me out to be a most disgusting person. …More costs
Met a lawyer who promised he could help me.. took $80,000 for my matrimonial split and another 30-40 for appeal and court of appeal. Made a real hash of it lost more money
2011 finally obtained crucial information which Wells had asked to be withheld, got this through the law society and the ombudsmen
Hoadley and Wells took liquidation and bankruptcy action against me
I filed a claim for obtaining a judgement by fraud.. Their lawyers are breaking the law in continuing to represent them in court but apparently the law society thinks it’s OK
Got rid of the bankruptcy have had to pay out nearly $120,000 they liquidated my company when I was not served, I caught them out and the proceedings were reversed.
They now have a statutory demand out which is being adjourned through lawyers and costing me 500 a pop every two months
This has been going on for 7 years now I HAVE HAD ENOUGH
I hope that one of the neighbours can make a pot of tea and host this event
I am a former long serving police sergeant and former police Prosecutor. I am the mother of three children, I believed in law and order and justice I am not violent. Wyn has nothing to fear from me but the truth.
CAN YOU HELP ME SIT DOWN AND TALK TO WYN TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS , I would love your support.
to Talking Works :corrupt practices of Tom Didovich will you support me or condone his actions?
TOM DIDOVICH talking works .. if Talking works Tom Didovich why don’t you talk and discuss instead of covering up corruption !
Good afternoon Karen and Tom ( and others cc’d as see below )
I am making this an open letter and addressing it to those associated with the talking works web site.
I have to wonder if you have any formal relationship or just simply all come under the same informal banner I have not been able to establish if you are a proper organisation as such because that very much touches at the heart of my communication to you.
I was wondering if you have a code of ethics ? each of you are associated with one another under the same umbrella and I wondered if you actually tolerate unscrupulous actions of one of your number and if you have required standards of conduct.
I am talking about Tom Didovich who does not practice what he preaches. He is one of three people who have made my life hell over the past 7 years and I very much would like this to end.
Tom is on a trust which has allowed charitable funds to be used to relentlessly pursue me through the court on a un proved claim of defamation so that the gross corruption which he is party to could be covered up.
Tom was the manager of Dog control in Waitakere city council and facilitated a scam which meant that public resources were being misused for personal gain.
I have written to some of you about Tom before the post is here http://www.transparency.net.nz/2012/03/01/talking-works-tom-didovich/
I have just completed three articles about the misuse of the funds which the trust which Tom Didovich is on –
these articles are http://www.anticorruption.co.nz/2013/01/09/the-lord-dowding-fund-how-to-use-charitable-funds-to-conceal-crime/
http://www.anticorruption.co.nz/2013/01/09/the-truth-about-the-new-zealand-fund-for-humane-research/
http://www.anticorruption.co.nz/2013/01/07/money-for-research/
I am a licenced Private Investigator, Former Police Sergeant and was acting for a dog control officer employed at Waitakere who wanted to know why she was volunteering her council paid time to the animal welfare Institute of New Zealand( AWINZ )
AWINZ transpired to be just a name , a name which was promoted and associated with Tom Didovich and through false information which Tom Didovich supplied to the minister attained law enforcement powers identical to those enjoyed by the RNZSPCA.
When I Proved that AWINZ did not exist I asked the simple question of MAF “ why does this law enforcement authority not exist?”
and asked Waitakere city council “why this organisation operated from their premises and used their staff and infrastructure?”. Didovich had signed an agreement with Neil Wells for AWINZ see here then when he left council Wells took Toms position and Tom became a member of a trust called AWINZ all in an attempt to cover up. Tom is up to his neck in this convoluted corrupt practice .
As a result of this Tom Didovich has been a party to the supporting the court proceedings financially through the use of the Lord Dowding fund , and becoming part of a cover up trust to confuse the authorities and mislead the court. I have approached him several times and asked him to talk because talking works but he continues down the path of abuse, which in my mind contradicts everything he is now supposed to stand for.
He is intrinsically entwined in this entire corrupt saga which has torn my family apart , cost me my 23 year marriage , saw my company liquidated on false evidence, seen continued court action to financially strip me( it has cost me some $300,000) . My crime: I was a whistle blower on a matter of public concern.
So I am asking each and every one of you
- do you condone one of your own causing the very problems which you are there to solve, I was near suicide a number of times, suffered depression and lived in fear for many years with what Tom and his associates were doing to me.
- If talking works and you live by your mantra would you intervene and assist someone who is being abused at the hands of one of your own.
- Will you help me and support me
You either walk the talk or you stand by and allow abuse to continue.
I would welcome your support.
I will post a copy of this on my transparency web site . I look forward to seeing that you people are genuine with regards to your cause.

Subject: corrupt practices of Tom Didovich will you support me or condone his actions?
Talking Works Tom Didovich!
Talking works Tom Didovich perhaps you need to admit to the corruption you are involved with , corruption which is bringing about a rise in dog registration fees … See Council to hike dog fees
I have been talking for years but you who claims that talking works ,have remained silent and now I find that you are a counselor for talking works. Which quite frankly I find quite hypocritical.
You see the real issue is that dog owners have been paying for a great deal more than dog control they have also been paying for animal welfare.And you are right in on this scam up to your neck , in fact it would not have got of the ground if it wasn’t for your involvement.
To differentiate between the two.. Dog control is a council responsibility and Animal welfare is carried out by the RNZSPCA, police and MAF.
Tom Didovich is a trustee of a trust called the Animal Welfare Institute of New Zealand , he became a trustee in 2006 but while he was the manager of dog and stock control at Waitakere city council actively campaigned to set up the animal welfare institute of New Zealand ( AWINZ ) and approved payments from the public purse to facilitate the origins of this trust ( full back ground can be found here with supporting documents )
When Tom Didovich left Waitakere his associate Neil wells took over and quickly changed the branding on the building , vehicle and gate
This coincided with a public fund raising campaign sent out with the dog registration papers the logo that Mr Wells used are shown on the top of the flyer which was printed in green
.donation request The letterhead was adjusted after I complained to the council and became
Do you not think that this logo and the 
signage on the buildings and vehicles are deceptively similar?
One is a council the other is a private enterprise run by the council manager. Who would guess that there were two entities being run “symbiotically” close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member. And true to form there was no benefit to the public/ratepayers/dog owners just to you and Mr Wells. refer this letter to you from Neil Wells
It just so happened that Mr Wells had written the bill leading up to the animal welfare act and had been independent adviser to the select committee. When the law passed he made an application for AWINZ to become an approved organization with the ability to appoint inspectors who had statutory powers .
While Tom was manager he had ensured that all the dog and stock control officers had received training through Mr Wells who was paid By Mr Didovich from the councils dog control budget through his discretionary spending.
The dog control officers were required to Volunteer their time to the approved organization and prioritize the work to the approved organization. Animal welfare institute of New Zealand. So when you saw the van driving about Waitakere the staff and vehicle were not necessarily on council business they were on private business paid by you the rate payer and dog owners .
Problems arose in 2006 when Lyn Macdonald asked me to find out who or what the animal welfare institute of new Zealand was and I discovered that there were no trust deeds or anyone associated with AWINZ except Neil wells officially and Tom Didovich as support person.
On 27 April 2006 With two others we categorically proved that AWINZ did not exist by legally registering an identically named organization .
On 10 May 2006 Neil Wells claims to have had a meeting at which Wyn Hoadley is appointed trustee to the animal welfare institute of new Zealand, a trust which has not met, had lost its trust deed ( if it had ever had one before then ) and by a section which does not appear in a deed which is eventually produced .
WYN Hoadley Neil Wells and Graeme courts to legal action which started with a legal executive , now lawyer harassing me to force us to give up the name of the legally incorporated entity in which I was a trustee.
Her husband at the time Nick Wright then became involved and harassed our web host, he then prepared a letter which David Neutze of Brookfileds signed without checking the accuracy of it . How could they ever have claimed passing off? when they didn’t even get together before we had legitimately formed .
And so 6 years of court action which relied on words and NLP and not on evidence began. ( Neil wells through the proceedings referred to AWINZ as having legitimate business dealings when the reality was that it was no more than a leach off council services.
Tom Didovich turned up in court more often than any of the so called trustees and became a trustee by signing a deed in December 2006 when Neil Wells tried to get AWINZ charitable status but failed to do so due to lack of documentation.
This is a complex matter a perfect fraud more can be found on this at http://anticorruptionnz.wordpress.com, some of the documents no longer open but we are going through and fixing that, if you are interested in a particular docuemtn please let me know and I will update the link or send you a copy.
More recent articles are on the anticorruption web site ANIMAL LAW MATTERS
But getting back to rise in dog registration , this is due to persons such as Tom Didovich and Neil Wells using council resources facility and staff for their own income.
Stop corruption and our costs will decrease.
Ask the question why is the dog control division of council adopting out pets 
, who is funding it and why?
why Have I not been able to expose this corruption of Public office for private gain
Tom its time to talk talking works !
Truth is never defamatory
We refer to my posts below re Jonathon Mann and Dr Gerald Waters.
We have received a letter from their lawyers to which, in the interest of transparency, we reply to as follows.
Open letter to Alan Ringwood
Thank you for your letter dated 22 September. alan ringwood letter
We note that you state it is not for publication. At transparency we act in an open and transparent manner and we do not do confidential deals as in our opinion this encourages corruption..
If you believe there is some legal reason why the letter cannot be published please advise us of the act and section and we will consider that.
You state that you act for IHO Limited (“IHO”) and for its directors Dr Gerald Waters and Elizabeth Pillinger and for Mr Jonathon Mann, we wish to draw your attention to the following
- IHO Limited has one shareholder IHO Holdings Limited
- You will notice that on the share picture the large dark area is the ownership of EGMONT TRUSTEES JMIHO LIMITED we have it on good authority that these shares are owned by Jonathon Mann
- Mr Mann is a disqualified director and has in the past few weeks either entered a plea of guilty or been found guilty of running a company while disqualified.
- The company HQ PHYSIOLOGY LIMITED which is now in liquidation , marketed the Fix product .
- The product was masterminded by Mann and when the company was wound up he got his flat mate Dr Gerald Waters and his new girlfriend Elizabeth Pillinger to become directors.
- Our investigations reveal this is a common MO ( modus operandi ) of Mr. Mann who then runs the company in the background. So any one dealing with IHO is actually dealing with Mr Mann and since he is a con artist this is a fact that people may wish to consider when becoming involved.
It concerns us that you claim that the web site is defamatory ,We note that you claim to be a defamation lawyer . As a defamation lawyer you will also be aware that truth is never defamatory and that honest opinion is a defence. Truth Honest opinion Honest opinion where corrupt motive attributed to plaintiff.
We can assure you that what we have written is truthful however if you have evidence to the contrary I hope that you can supply that to us and we will consider it.
We also draw your attention to section 25, Your clients have been aware of the web site for some time now and they are well outside the 5 day period , I can make the copy of the defamatory post by Dr Gerald Waters available to you should you require it.
You also complain about the breach of copy right perhaps you need to take that up with Food town as the photo is mirrored from their site.
You allege that we suggest that the fix product is a scam , could you please point out where we have made that allegation as in reading our site we believe that it makes it quite clear that was advise caution for anyone buying in to any product promoted by Jonathon Mann and he has been promoting FIX as a healing agent.
We note that its trade marked as a pharmaceutical and medicinal preparations, to that end could you please provide the evidence that it is licensed accordingly .( Trade Mark Number (210) 812005) If we do not hear we will presume that it is not licensed and will ensure that appropriate action for the protection of the public, is taken .
We do note that it is not listed on the med safe web site could you please advise why it is not listed. If not is a Pharmaceutical product is the trademark under that category not misleading?
We also appreciate that you claim FIX is natural, just because something is natural does not infer that it is good for you and does not make it a medicine.
Arsenic is natural. It kills!
As to the comments of Dr Waters, when a medical doctor , specialising in renal makes a public statement with regards to a person he has not examined and calls them “sociopathic” , then we think that this is serious enough to bring to the attention of the medical profession, especially when he uses the hospital board computers to post this comment ( which has been moderated as we will not be part of any defamation )
Sociopath in our interpretation is “a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behaviour is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience” further interpretations are found here
The complaint we have lodged with regards to Dr Waters Action has no doubt sparked this knee jerk reaction, He is a health professional who is working with a convicted fraudster who has passed himself off as a health professional. We would have thought that Doctors should not be seen to condone this action and should distance themselves from it.
We do not have a campaign against Mr Mann, our desire is to have an open and transparent society where people can openly warn each other of scams and scamsters , so that we can reduce the number of victims.
With regards to the Verisure site
Con is short for convicted and confidence , there can be no doubt that Mr Mann is a convict, “”a person found guilty of a crime and sentenced by a court” and that he has used confidence trickery to make others believe that he had qualifications which he did not possess.
The truth Hurts. So when people act with integrity they can only be portrayed with integrity, when they choose to act in a contrary manner we have the right of freedom of speech and the right to warn others.
We have no intention of damaging the IHO business our intention is to ensure that anyone who deals with Mr Mann and his companies do so with eyes open.
We are happy to alter or remove any material from the sites if you provide the evidence which shows that we are wrong .
Please be advised that any response will be published in the interest of transparency.
Jonathon Mann seeks to silence victims
A victim of a scam run by Jonathon Steven Mann was approached by not one but several other persons who have also been scammed by him.
She saw the devastation this man has caused in their lives and recalls the damage this it did to her own , she knew how cleverly she had been played and there was no concrete proof which the police would act on yet there she was like others thousands spent , empty promises and the overwhelming feeling of betrayal.
So being a public spirited person this victim thought that enough was enough and started a blog so that others could be forewarned only to find that Jonathon Steven Mann had moved swiftly to have the blog taken down.
People have a right to know who is out there scamming so transparency New Zealand is getting behind the project.
Jonathon Steven Mann came out from the UK in about 2002, there are unconfirmed reports of convictions in his alias Jonathon Macdonald .
We have located a judgement which relates to fraudulent activities of Jonathon Mann IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF NEW ZEALAND
And now there are see three newspaper items with regards to his latest escapades.
We believe that he is currently before the court on charges of running a business while disqualified for running the company HQ PHYSIOLOGY LIMITED.
This company through Mann developed a cream called FIX , this is now being marketed by IHO Limited owned by IHO HOLDINGS LIMITED which is being operated By Dr Gerald Waters who was Manns former Flat mate and also By Manns current girlfriend Elizabeth Anne PILLINGER
Both companies were originally set up by Colin GREEN on behalf of Jonathon Mann. Green is a photographer in the UK and a relative of Mann . 
There is a Company in the UK IHO FIX (UK) LIMITED which is run from the same town as Green lives in .
green acknowledges his connection in his linked in profile Colin Green _ LinkedIn
Inquiries have been made with the manufacture of the product Fix which is a New Zealand based company called Jaychem. And is sold in the UK and promoted through foodtown.
Our investigations reveal that Mr Mann has posed as a biochemist in the past. We believe that he developed the product in conjunction with Jaychem.
We have expressed our concerns to Jaychem who despite the fact that they have a vested interest, have assured us that they stand by the product and endorse it .
Jonathan Mann has been approaching various people to invest in this product .
We recommend independent testing of the product before any one invests.
Many people invest time , services in return for shares in IHO Holdings Limited of which Mann is the major share holder through EGMONT TRUSTEES JMIHO LIMITED
We can only advise caution based on our findings as set out above and the verbal evidence that we have collected from many more who have been scammed by Jonathon Mann such as represented by this report. jonathon-mann-and-the-dentalman-book
