Forex Fraud - NFA permanently bars Chicago Forex firm AVS Carter Financial Inc

Posted on April 28, 2010 at 7:59 in Forex, NFA new requirements by Francesc

NFA permanently bars Chicago forex firm AVS Carter Financial, Inc. and sanctions its principal
April 27, Chicago - National Futures Association (NFA) has permanently barred AVS Carter Financial, Inc. (AVS Carter Financial) from NFA membership. AVS Carter Financial is a Commodity Trading Advisor located in Chicago, Illinois. Shahzad Akram, the firm’s sole principal, is also barred from NFA membership for a period of two years. Akram must pay a fine of $5,000 if he reapplies for NFA membership after the expiration of the two-year bar. The Decision, issued by an NFA Hearing Panel, is based on an NFA Complaint filed in August 2009 and a settlement offer submitted by AVS Carter Financial and Akram.

    @ Mojtaba Ghodsi you should send an e-mail including a copy of your account statement and the e-mail exchange you had so far with AVS Carter and their director to NFA ( ldyekman at nfa.futures.org or kwuertz at nfa.futures.org ) explaining them your situation. I am sure they will be able to advise you what to do next and it is always good for them if they receive additional evidence against financial companies which treat their customers like that.

    I hope for you you’ll get your money back from them soon - good luck

    Just found other comment from somebody “AVS Carter SCAM - 07-09-2010, 02:18 PM”

    Dear all,

    A couple of days ago we got a wrong price feed (actually happened thre times in a couple of minutes) in USDJPY that moved price 1700 pips and closed all our positions after a margin call erasing 7000 EUR in a matter of seconds.

    We have been trying to contact the company for the last 3 days (emails, contact center, Live chat) and no response. Some of the phone numberd on their web-page are linked to companies that dont know anything about AVS Carter (and quite annoyed about receiving always the same question).
    Do know have any suggestion what to do right now….any ideas are welcome

    Thanks to all

    Attached you can see the chart.

    This is hereby confirmed that Mr Ahmad Mukhtar Mirza has left the AVS Carter Group on 19th March 2010 and his other two partners Mr Sabyasachi Upadhyay and Mr Vivek Gopal Reddy are the only directors and are full responsible for all matters onwards including the pending, current or future withdrawals , for any details you may contact admin@avscarter.com.

    AVS Carter has turned into London Pearson Financial.
    Consequently avoiding confrontation with clients that literally beg them to payout their money to them.
    They did not even bother disguising it the new website looks identical to the old see yourself: http://www.londonpearson.com/

    What a shame.
