Ka Edong, wala bang remittance service ang Metrobank? I find their online banking service kc very handy eh. Thanks for the info!

has anyone from UK experienced any problems sending money thru far east/AJ global? it has been a month now and my remittance has not arrived yet. what protection do we have against this kind of problem?
Hi fred77,
Have you inquired directly with the remittance company?
What solution and commitment did they give you?
Maybe your relatives in the Philippines can inquire here as well.
Do they have Philippine-side contact info?

try ko pong puntahan ung office nla dito sa bngay mong address, inform nlang po kita kung ano mangyari. tnx po..
Au, hindi ikaw nag iisa but I think it goes to show na kapwa Pinoy mo din ang loloko sa yo. I have rest my case as A.J Global has been promising me for months and months. Hanggang ngayon wala pa rin and I am exhausted ringing them (ignored phonecalls. Masakit but wala tayong magawa. All I want is for them to be brave enough and tell us what is happening. But wala…Proud to be pinoy? ha!ha!ha!…sorry!
hi,victim din kaming aj global.1 month na ung padala namin di pa din narereceive ng family ko.pinadala ko un last aug 19.may mga nabasa ako na 4 months na wala pa din ung pera nila.it seems na nag-aaccept pa din sila ng mga new remittances…madami pang mabibiktima ito.ireport natin kaya sila sa Imbestigador GMA 7 program????di kodin sila macontact dito sa UK.try ko magreport dito sa police.if you are interested,sana ung mga family natin sa Phils mag-usap usap din para makapag complain dyan at lumapit sa imbestigador o kahit anong tv program na pwede tayong tulungan.
Hi! Buti ka pa niord2020 dahil one month pa lang, ako like the rest ay 4 months na naghihintay! Last May 21 pa ako nagpadala till now di pa nakarating sa Pinas. Tumawag ako sa kanila,after a week nang malaman ko na di pa dumating ang padala sa Pinas. Ang reason nila ay may audit na nagaganap which according sa staff ay biglaan na di nila alam. The only communication I received from them is a letter of apology. Hence, the inconvenience it may caused me as a client from an auditor sa Pinas about the ongoing auditing. But, wala akong narinig sa AJ Global after that. Sana, they should have the common sense or decency to keep their clients informed of what is happening. As one of its client,I feel I have the right to know! But wala…they promised me that the money will be credited on Sept. 9 (dahil inuuna pa nila ang nauna sa akin) so, if May remittance pa lang ang (allegedly)na pinapadala nila sa September kailan kaya ang sayo na August?. I wasted hours and hours ringing them but walang sagot. Bakit? dahil takot sila sa mga taong pinag kakautangan nila! Sa mga taong nagtiwala sa kapwa nila pinoy! Sana naman tayong mga Pinoy maging matapang…harapin ang mga pinagkakautangan natin!!!huh???? at bayaran….Pati ba naman dito sa UK dadalhin pa natin ang ugaling ganyan?
Pag nag file tayo nag complain dito sa UK, is it worth? I have spoken with my Brit workmates, that if nandito ang office nila sa UK they should abide with UK laws. Naku! Headline: Pinoy vs. Pinoy sa ibang bansa pa nag-aaway away. Magiging laman tayo ng Oprah, Tricia o di kaya Judge Judy?! what a laugh!
Any suggestions mga kapatid?
By the way, ang AJ Global ay distributor yata ng TFC dito (not sure). Why not try Abs-CBN Europe sa reklamo? At nang ma news ito sa Pilipinas….What u think?
to my fellow kababayan whose been remitting money to AJ Global Services, I, too for one has been a victim recently..last August 29, 2008 nagpadala din ako ng pera pero until now wala pa rin ang pera sa Pilipinas..Im banking with Barclays, the adviced they gave me is if I can produce any documents i.e receipts from AJ they might be able to help..at pwede declare na “FRAUD” so I can get my money back.. first sabi ng bank manager they couldn’t do anything and they did what I instructed them to do na magtransfer ng money sa AJ..but I insisted to the bank manager that they should do something or else I will close my account with them and tell my friends that they don’t provide good service…aba! nagbago ang ihip ng hangin at sabi ng manager if I can produce any documents, he will do something about it para mabawi ko ang pera ko…My suggestion is do the same thing..go back to your bank and see the manager &put pressure on them..ang problema ko nga lang nito I couldn’t find any receipts from AJ dahil hindi na sila nagpapadala nga..If we get united, we can also make a complain against them,perhaps through ABS-CBN TFC London? Sana po magkaisa tayo at turuan ng leksyon ang AJ..Nagpapakahirap tayo dito sa UK na kumita ng pera tapos lolokohin lang nila tayo!! I will not rest my case until I get my money back!! sumbong kaya natin sa IMBESTIGADOR? O kaya sa High Commission dito sa UK? 460 pounds po ang nawala sa akin at tuition fee po ng kapatid ko yon kaya hindi ko po basta basta mapapalampas na basta na lang mawala sa hangin…Magkaisa po tayo sana na magreklamo against AJ!! I would welcome any suggestions from you all..God Bless Us All!
hi, i am also a remitter with aj global and i have been waiting for 4 months. the last time i sent money with them was in may 22, 2008 and upto now my parents in manila still haven’t received it. they have been rejecting all my phone calls…i really dont know what to do…sayang din yung pera na pinadala k. i saw their address in manila but is it worth going there? if anyone is planning to do some legal actions against them, im willing to join!
they should be taught a lesson!
hi lea, am surprised at since may pa pala ang padala mo at wala pa rin sa Pilipinas!! Very crooked talaga ang AJ! Before my last remittance with them in August, nakuha ko pang magpadala thru AJ last July at natanggap naman sa Pilipinas.lately na lang, I think since May or June na doubtful na ako sa service nila kaya lang, ewan ko ba at nagpadala pa ulit ako sa kanila, samantalang naglipat na ako sa ibang remittance company..I would recommend LCC Money Transfer, PNB & BPI in London..mas reliable pa! I guess, this is a hard lesson for us all..The sad news was, because of them, the stress, frustrations&anxiety they gave us, I miscarriaged yesterday! Bahala na si Lord sa kanila! sabi ko, I won’t rest my case, I went to Barclays yesterday(18 Sept.),we really won’t be able to get our money back lalu na it’s a transfer di bale sana daw kung we use our debit card then they can declare it a “dispute”..Helpful naman yung mga staff sa Barclays, however dahil ang transaction was a transfer,it’s unlikely na mabawi natin from our bank yung pera..maliban na lang kung makonsensiya ang AJ at ibalik sa atin ang pera..The suggestions from the Braclays is to complain to the High Commission kung saan sila naka-register..anyway, I will do my best to keep you all posted whatever infos;I can gather..I was just discharged from the hospital today pero I’m more angry with what AJ did to us!! Nag-e-mail na rin ako sa GMA 7, coz I couldn’t find the email add for Imbestigador and gave them the add in Makati so they can investigate..I know it’s very frustrating but if we leave it just like that, swerte ng AJ,imagine ang pera na na-accumulate nila sa mga remitters..I’ll see if it’s worth complaining to the Police..kasi if it’s only me na kikilos lang, wala din di ba? kaya we should really file a legal complaint against them!! God bless us all!!
My fellow kababayans remitting through AJ Global Services, I managed to get their main tel.no in the UK..Guess what?may sumagot at agad ako nagreklamo,aba they put me on hold at all of a sudden na-hung-up ang call ko.. It’s not really worth making a thousand calls kasi they are avoiding us! Anyhow, here is the number if you would like to try it: 0208-099-6108..my e-mail add:cvalentin_20@yahoo.co.uk, should you wish to contact me! I hope we get united and bring this matter to the right people who would be able to help us! Perhaps we can get AJ to pay twice the amount we send thru them! God bless us all!
Hi mga kababayan ko! I made some research as to which org.would be able to help us..THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN SERVICE,South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall,London E14 9SR. helpline no: 0845 080 1800 or 020 7964 0500..Free service and they will deal with our complaints straightaway on the phone rather that sending them a letter or filling in a complaints form.. Their office opens from Monday-Friday 9-5pm..Please do not waste time and start calling on Monday! I will be the first to call the Ombudsman! The more complaints they get from us the better it is for the action to take place and hopefully get our money back! The Ombudsman will deal and contact AJ( if they are lucky to get hold of them but im sure they will) in behalf of all of us.Apparently, AJ Global is(hopefully) regulated by the Financial Service Authority & it must be registered under them.anyhow the FSA won’t be so much of help neither the Finacial Services Compensation Org.bec. if AJ is still making business(illegally i’m sure)they can’t help compensate our losses..but the Ombudsman they will…Please look on their website: The Financial Ombudsman Service…very good information you can gather…Don’t forget to make your complaints on Monday 22 Sept.2008! Be the first among many! I hope this will help us…God bless us all!
hi, sorrto hear that you miscarried. i hope your ok now. nag-switch n ko ng remittance agency since june so inever sent money thru them after the may 2008. yung number n binigay mo is the number that ive been trying to call but they either reject or block my calls!! nakakapang-gigil talaga! i spoke to my dad in the philippines and he’s trying to get ahold of josephine alayon but walang sumasagot sa office nila sa makati. my dad is trying to get in touch with GMA Imbestigador and Mr. tulfo para ibulgar ang kasakiman ng AJ global services! thanks for letting me know about the Financial Ombudsman Service. I will call them on monday. We should post a blog sa somewhere para lahat ng naloko ng AJ magsama-sama at para wala n silang maloko p! Good luck to everyone
carolynb nakakalungkot naman,dapat talaga mabigyan ng leksyon ang AJ.tumawag ako last thursday sa Phil Embassy (UK)madami na din daw ang nagcomplain sa kanila against AJ.sabi ng nakausap ko don pinadalhan na daw nila ng letter kaso return to sender,nagtatago na talaga sila.pero try pa din natin at sana nga matulungan tayo ng FOS.siguro dapat ibigay natin sa phil embassy ung site na ito para makapag post ung iba pang nabiktima…..
thnx carolynb for the info about FOS. i am a victim of aj global as well. i used to send money thru them for the past 2 years, quite big amt every month. hindi ako nagkakaproblema not until for the past 4 mos, na dedelay na and their reason is always computer failure. Ang last natanggap sa pinas was last ist week of aug, a week delay. nagpadala uli ako last 27 aug but until now hindi pa rin natanggap. at 1st, they said, 3-5 days ang processing, then 10-15 days.(take note, araw-araw ako tumatawag 3 times lng ako nakalusot. the last i was able to contact them was last week demanding them to refund my money but they said may consolidation fee daw na £20 at after 2 weeks pa maibalik ang money . i tried calling again this morning tel no 01689830086, answering machine lng ang sumasagot advising not to deposit any money effective 20 sept and to contact them thru email for any queries which is quite unclear Ajgsltd@ …something . sobra na talaga sila. i’ll call FOS on mon.
Ive emailed FOS last night regarding our poblem. I couldnt wait for monday!At ngayon lang sila nagsabi na wag mag deposit ng money to them? OMG, i think they’re going to file for bankruptcy…if that happens, wala tayong magagawa.. we will not get our money back. Nagpapakahirap tayo na magtrabaho dito at magpadala sa mga family natin sa pilipinas tapos huhuthutin lang nila ang perang pinag-hirapan natin. anong sabi ng Phil Embassy? Are they going to do something about it? or are they just going to let them get away with it? millions siguro ang nakuhang pera ng AJ, di dapat mapalagpas yan!
Akala namin kami lang ang nabiktima ng AJ GLOBAL. kami nga nung MAY pa kami nagpadala mahigit £1,400 para sa pang bayad sa lupa na binabayaran namin mag-asawa. hirap na hirap kumayud dito sa Englatera. kaya walang asenso ang Pinas dahil kapwa pinoy ganon ang ginagawa nila. kung nasa Pinas lang ako malamang napasabog ko na ang mga walang hiya na AJ GLOBAL NA YAN….. sana naman may magagawa ang gobyerno ng pilipinas tungkol dito.
Hi mga kababayan ko, am glad to hear that we are uniting against AJ! We shouldn’t really condone what they did to us! I checked their 01689830086,apparently,tama si gay_d22 regarding their automated message which is they are no longer accepting any credits to their account effective next week yata and mind you pati e-mail add nila nag-iba na (ajgsltd@ymail.com)! Bwisit sila! ngayon lang nila sasabihin yon after they have taken all our money!Talagang may “malicious intent” sila to accumulate all our money enough to pay their so- called “auditing courier”! ano yon? imbento na lang nila!
Lea, don’t worry, even if AJ will file for “bankruptcy”,I think we will be able to get compensated through the help or assistance of FSCO..don’t lose hope okey? Even if I haven’t fully recovered regarding my loss @ 9 weeks, I feel better somehow knowing that there are many of us now, uniting for these!! Tawag ka pa rin sa Ombudsman on Monday ha?
It’s sad bec.I have been remitting loyally with AJ(formerly known Far East Express)for the last 7-8 years..imagine? so very disappointed talaga ako with their service lately..buti ka pa gay_d22 at nakausap mo pa sila, kay alang bakit may so-called na “consolidation fee” na hinihingi pa at 2 weeks pa bago nila ibalik? Am sure, AJ must be shaken by now at alam nila that we are not “STUPID” and we won’t just rest this by sitting down..basta, asahan ko lahat kayo na tumawag sa OMBUDSMAN office by Monday ha? Tawag ka rin Ed! Huwag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa! GOD BLESS US ALL!
Hi niord2020,matanong ko lang kung anong aksyon ang gagawin ng Philippine Embassy? Will it provide “free” legal service to represent all of us? I think AJ has moved to another office, kaya naibalik ang letter ng Phil.Embassy..but for sure,within Orpington, Kent pa rin sila..we just need to find out the location tapos we can probably get the Police involve..I think we stand a good chance and have a good case, dapat kasi nag-abogado na lang ako kesa “nurse” ano? para represent ko tayo lahat! kulang na lang yata mag-detective ako nito eh? I agree with you, better give this website to the Phil.Embassy, o kaya, marunong ka ba maglagay ng “blog?” kung pwede sana sa FRIENDSTER, ano? Anyway, do your part on Monday, tawaag ka rin sa FSO ha? Goodluck & God bless us all!
same as me carolyn. ive been a remitter with them for 7-8 years. they were formerly known as FAR EAST EXPRESS… do you know the story behind that? na- research k kasi that far east owed a lot of money sa iremit and they even had a court case dito sa britain which lasted for 15days and nanalo ang iremit..they charged miss lalaine ubando with fraud then she sold her company for £500 to miss josephine alayon and changed the name to AJ Gglobal. she handed every customer over to AJ without our consent…i didnt know this until about 3-4 days last week when i tried to get ahold of AJ and started googling even far east…
i wish the embassy would help us!
i think kung may friendster account k, you should post it on the bulletin. i’ll do the same. just ask all your friends to forward it to evryone or re-post it again and im sure maraming pinoy sa friendster ang mag-rerespond..i think i’ll email that email add for aj and just tell them that we are trying to do something about it…
hi lea, upon seeing your message, I tried checking in Google regarding the I-Remit case against F.E.E.R a.ka. AJ Global..I began to wonder if ate Lalaine still responsible for operating AJ Global and the insufficient service we have received from them? Palagay ko, and your right too, yung transition sa company, hindi man lang nila tayo nabigyan ng impormasyon regarding the changes..dami nilang naloko talaga! I feel sorry for ate Lalaine kasi noon sila pa ang nag-mamanaged ng F.E.E.R. okey pa noon,kahit hindi tayo aware may ongoing case na pala since yr.2001-2002, nagyon under the management of AJ Global doon na nagkaroon ng malaking discrepancies sa mga remittances natin to our family in the Philippines..I can’t wait for Monday to ring the office of the Ombudsman! Nag-e-mail na rin ako sa kanila ng complaint natin at definitely tom;tatawag pa ako..basta huwag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa ha? Goodluck sa atin lahat & God bless us all!
hi everyone,
nagpadala din ako ng pera sa AJ nung 26 aug at malaking amnt talaga, pinapunta ko ang kakilala ko sa office nila pero close na. sa taas ng office dun yata ang bahay nya at sa baba ay ang store na asian minimart. dapat talagang i complain natin sila. may accountant na naghahandle ng affairs nila. paano ba tayo magstart ng group case/complain against them?
I got the address of the accountants that’s investigating AJ. SG Banister and co.
40 Great James Street, london WCIN 3HB
02074309292. someone informed me that AJ will file for bancruptcy oct10.
hi mga kababayans. i sent an email to AJ Global Services yesterday and i had a reply from them…have a read and see what you think…………………………….
21 September 2008
Dear Sir/Madam
I have deposited money to your account on the 22nd May 2008 and upto now my parents in the Philippines still haven’t received the money which they so need. You have promised me 2 different dates as to when my money will reach the philippines but still my money is stuck with you with your so called audit. I have researched the history between Far East Express and how its become AJ Global Services and im telling you now that I am not happy as to how my details was transferred to you without my consent. My father have tried to contact your manila office in a futile effort to salvage my money but it appears that your office there is also rejecting calls. I despise liars and promises that are not being followed through. I want to file a formal complaint aginast your company. A lot of remitters have been in contact with each other through a website and im telling you now that none of us are taking this sitting down. We want our money back. We have contacted the Philippine Embassy and the Financial Ombudsman Services to see how we can get our money back. It is none of the remitters problem if your company is in trouble. We want our money back.I think we deserve the right to know what has happened to our hard earned money and the real reason why you are unable to give it back ot us. I request an immeditate reply to this letter. Miss Lea
and here is their reply…………………..

hi!kala q aq lang naluko nitong aj global na e2.marami pala tayo.i tried to contact trading standards,financial ombudsman which they’re on the case.my cousin which is a lawyer in the philippines is trying to help me too.he will update me tomorrow.
sana nga may malapitan tayo sa medya para hindi na madagdagan ang maloloko nila.
Dear Kababayans,
Ako rin Nabiktima ng AJ Global. Been a loyal remitter for 7-8 years. Sent money last Aug 29 di rin natanggap ng parents ko. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng info na nakuha ko dito sa website na to. Went to Barclays, di raw nila maibalik ang pera kc nga transfer ito. May FSA hotline din na nakuha ako sa Citizens Advise Bureau. But i think of all the options na nabasa ko dito, ay sasali ako sa pagtawag sa Ombudsman. I will call them tomorrow. I will keep checking this website kung may dapat tayong gawin at sasali ako.
Tama kyo, 2002 pa ang kaso ng FEER sa iremit.They lost the case & owed the company £250000. Tinutuloy ng iremit na pondohan ang FEER until 2006 na umabot ng £800,000 ang utang nila. Ang tanong, gayong lugi na pla ang kumpanya bakit tumatanggap pa rin sila ng transactions? Manloloko talaga. Sige, ipa-publish natin sa imbestigador, o kaya sa XXX para maturuan sila ng leksyon. I will post this website in my friendster account for everybody to read and to warn them as well.
Good luck sa ating lahat!
Hi mga kababayan ko! I hope you did call the Ombudsman as planned! I’ve been told that they have received numerous calls & complaints today (22 Sept.08)..feeling ko mas may nauna pang tumawag sa akin eh..but that’s good! Lea, well done for sending them an e-mail..I think I’ll do the same to let them know that we are not ignoring it! lalo na pala they have lied for the last 4-6 years that they are in financial trouble and yet they have been taking our money moreso the last 3-4 months ago wherein the problem is so paramount that they didin’t do what we have instructed them to do..to transfer the money& get it send to our family in the Philippines..am sure, they were using all our money to try to pay I-Remit with their debts..they were using our money as their funds!
Am glad that what we are doing now eventually would have a good result specially to recover our money..Lea, let’s keep up the goodwork.. I will be in touch with the Ombudsman again tom.( tuesday 23-9-08 ) and let them know about the legal reps for AJ Global Services..
Please call me if you have the time @ 01753-710-849 or 07834525362..would love to have a chat with you! I will be back on this website again tom! Gos bless us all!

may binigay na number ang phil emba sakin 02074511826 Edith ang name sya daw ang in-charge sa complaints na ito kaso simula last friday e di din sumasagot kaya try na lang ulit natin tumawag sa embassy.di ko lang sure kung ano pa magagawa nila inquire na lang ulit tayo sa kanila.
Hi mga kababayan
naging busy ako today to try to get some help from the relevant authorities..quite disappointed ako sa response ng OMBUDSMAN sa akin kaninang umaga,whereas yesterday Monday, I was given some hope. anyhow, I contacted THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY and they will be checking into the problem caused by AJ. Hindi pa (yata) authorised ang AJ under their wing.Tumawag din ako sa S G Banister, whose representing AJ at I was advised to write a letter of complaint to them against AJ so they can find out the severity of the damage caused by AJ amongst us.
Don’t forget to attached any relevant infos.when writing them a letter ie. payment details through your bank which you can request from your personal banker. May nakausap na rin ako kanina na mga kababayn natin na malaking pera ang mga nawala sa kanila..I don’t even feel better bec.of that lalo na pinaghirapan ng mga kababayan natin kitain ang perang pinadala nila..We may not be able to get our losses but it’s early days yet and atleast we are doingsomething about it.. We just need to inform the right authorities the severity of the damage caused by AJ..AJ is in breach of contract as laid down by the law..They have committed FRAUD and DECEPTION!!
Jhonny & Carina, let me know kung natanggap nyo ang e-mail ko about the letter I made for S G Banister.. Please do act on time para malaman nila we are serious about recovering our money back irregardless of whether its a small or large sum of money.
Niord2020, I don’t think our embassy would be able to help kasi AJ global is an English based company and so we should address this matter to the relevant authorities..
I will be calling The F.S.A again tom; follo-up ko ang call ko kasi they were meant to get back to me..Our other option is The Financial Services Compensation Scheme, but I’ll wait for the FSA answers tom.before doing any further action..sabi nga ni Jhonny sa akin, maybe we should report it to the Police as well and I will do so bukas din..nag-e-mail na rin ako sa XXX@abs-cbn.com for help!

Goodluck & never lose hope mga kababayan! God bless us all!
hi mga kababayan ko, I managed to contact the office of the FSA and sadly they cannot deal with our problem. I was referred to contact the HMRC @0845-010-9000 ( Her Majesty&Revenue Custom )which I did and discovered that AJ GSLtd; is regulated by them but cannot help either..The advised was to seek legal aid and to sent a letter to ( AJ ) their solicitor’s office as requested . Mga kababayan, it may sound disappointing but I guess at the moment that’s the best thing to do..wait tayo for the S G Banister& CO.answer to our enquiries and will take it from there..Please note if you will write a complaint letter against AJ do not forget to attach any bank payment details para alam nila yung “scale” ng panloloko ng AJ..I am still pursuing this kahit na at times disappointing ang mga sagot ng mga authorities na tinawagan ko,it’s saddens me lang kasi ang daming remitters na big sum ang nawala sa kanila at pinaghirapan ang perang padala para sa mga family natin sa Pinas tapos ang AJ mangungurakot lang ng pera na hindi nila pinaghirapan..I only hope we will get justice for this in due time! It may take a while pero kung united tayo, am sure God will guide us through! God bless us all!

good day.
i already e mailed xxx and imbestigador about our problem. i hope they take note of my e mails.
am still waiting for their reply.
hi. i admire you for being relentless carolyn. good work! that really sounds disappointing that they cant help us or can’t even intervene for us…we shouldn’t stop here. AJ will eventually be brought to justify their actions and we will have our answers and more importantly our money back! it may take some time but we just need to believe. maybe we should try a different tactic…
hello,good evening,
my name is joel and i guess im one of you.kala ko ako lang tinamaan ng AJ.
my brother found this site and told me to look at it.
i’ve been reading ur messages and i sadly have to concur to your observations,
yup.niloko nga tayo, and if they get their way,once they file for bankruptcy,they will get away w it,meaning-la tayo makuha balik na pera,i also agree that most probably,d tayo matulungan from the filipines,though wag nyo tigilan kay noise always helps,id like to join your group,i was moving by myself,kala ko kasi ako lang,im trying to get in touch w some politicians rin kay malapit man election,they always make a big noise to create publicity and dat would be nice,the other thing iss that i went to the police,matagal din kami nag usap kay at 1st la sila magawa,binaliktad baligtad ang storya trying to find a llophole tilit came to the point na we found out that even if they file for banckruptcy,if before dat nabigay natin ang pera and they had ample time to send itmthey should have sent it,kaya ir mgth be a criminal case nga,kay sa law natin idaan,aabutan tayo ng syam2x,
i suggest we get organized and send an organized set of individual letters to the KENT POLICE explaining the failure of services and fraud and ask them to act on the case.
what di you all think?that is of course together w wat ur doin.
warm regsasrds to all
i
mga kababayan,
carol i tried to read your attached letter hindi ko maopen,pero i went to metropolitan police here in porstmouth they will look into it,explained ko sa kanila na bakit nagaccept sila ng pera mula sa atin kung mayroon sila balak na magfiled ng bankcruptcy in the first place mayroon sila kaso sa i remit,ang sabi sa police officer diba kaso panloloko yung,theft and fraud and breach of contract between costumer and the company.titingnan nila kung anong dapat gawin antay lang ako ng tawag nila.Sa tingin ko mahirap ng mabawi yung pera kung natin aasa tayo sa resulta kailangan natin ng solicitor laban sa kanila. para maipaglaban natin yung right natin .pero gagastos ng malaki kailangan maghanap tayo ng free legal advice and action.Pero huwag tayong mawalan ng pagasa malalampasan din natin ito.god bless us all!

Hello, mga kababayans. Salamat ng marami sa mga ginagawa niyo. Ngayon ko lang nabasa itong website na ito thru a friend. Nashock talaga ako, wala me alam sa nangyayari sa aj global. Last sept 5 pa me nagpadala ng pera pero up to now wala pa rin sa pinas yun pera, tulad niyo, loyal customer din nila ako for 7 years. Kinakabahan na nga ako dahil di ko na sila makontak, sinabihan nila ako at it will take 3 weeks daw bago mareceive. Pareho din sa experience niyo yun nangyari sa akin. £410 ang pinadala, maliit siguro kumpara sa inyo pero pinaghirapan ko ito. Sobra na nga ako nastress sa nangyari, sinabihan ko pa nga sila sa email ko na maysakit ako sa puso at nakakadagdag pa sila. Ano pala ang dapat natin gawin? Mababawi pa kaya natin yun pera? Sayang talaga pag hindi na, nakakaiyak talaga. Ang hirap pa naman dito, like me full time working and mum at the same time. Bakit naman sila ganyan, makarma man sila di na maibabalik pera sa atin. Nag-email me ngayon lang, still waiting for the reply. Eto pala mobile number ko. 07876705672, pakitext naman ako kung may progress na sa inyo. I will call those numbers tomorrow kung may itutulong nga sila. May God help us!
hello mga kababayan q!
i received a letter from ombudsman stating d wrote a letter already 2 barclays,but i dont think barclays will do anything as they told me it was sent same time 2 aj global that day that i sent the money.
i email lalaine ubando the owner of aj global and this is here reply.20th September 2008

mga kababayan e2 yong email add ni lalaine ubando.may ari ng aj global.(loubando@ajglobalservices.com)
My dear kababayans! ako din victim ng AJ global na yan. I tried calling them yesterday pero answering machine na lang ang sumagot. May 21, 2008 pa ko nagpadala ng money sa Pinas pang-tuition ng niece ko for the first sem. Malapit na 2nd sem ndi pa din dumadating ung money. Grabe talaga yang AJ! Akala nila madali magtrabaho dito sa ibang bansa. Hay lalo lang ako na-stress dahil sa AJ na yan. Tamaan sana ng kidlat yang mga manloloko na yan.
hello mga kababayan,
it’s good to know that we have this website to express all our resentments against AJ! Just to let you all know, I have contacted all relevant authorities such as The Financial Services Authority,The Financial Services Compensation Scheme & The Financial Ombudsman Service but these authorities couldn’t help and doesn’t cover or regulates ang panloloko ng AJ! I found out it was HER MAJESTY&REVENUE CUSTOM (HMRC) which regulates AJ GSLtd; however, their answer is disappointing. They all point to ONE..which is to communicate with AJ’s solicitors & I suggest you should do that. Please write a letter of complaint against AJ.& attached any details from your account. We wait whatever their response is then lets all unite to seek “free legal aid”. We may have slim chances of recovering our remittance money, pero at least we did our best to put things to right & bring AJ to court! kesehodang mag-file pa sila ng “bankruptcy”! We all need to act together kahit mga 10 lang tayo, I cannot let this passed just like that lalo na I know a lot of our kababayans have sent big sum of money..Like what I’ve said, it doesn’t matter if its small or big sum of money, ang importante hindi tayo nagpabaya sa nawala sa atin.kasi pinaghirapan natin yon.. In my little knowledge, AJ was in breach of contract as laid down by the law! They have committed FRAUD & DECEPTION! I will talk to “Jhonny” kasi he’s also pursuing this matter & we talk about our problem..Si Jhonny kahit may pamilya din, he’s trying his best to help & I too likewise..So, let us know what are your plans & what do you want to do then we all convene with the appropriate and agreed time & place..Please don’t let time tick away..
Aileen, I wished you’ve seen this website before ka pa nag-remit on Sept.5, manloloko talaga ang AJ at talagang kinuha din ang pera mo..sana di ka na natulad sa amin..
Lhen, Barclays won’t be able to refund our money bec. they did what we instructed them to do..The last 2 weeks all I did was to gather all infos.about it..Barclays cannot declare it as a”DISPUTE or even FRAUD” kasi we allowed the transaction to be taken from our account. Nakausap ko na yung mga HOD’s ng Barclays Head Office FRAUD & DISPUTE DEPT. kulang na lang CEO nila he-he..Yung branch manager nga ng Barclays sa Windsor kilala na tuloy ako pag nakikita ako…”nakulitan kasi sa akin at natarayan ko”, hay naku mas marami pa nga tayong alam regarding their “LAW SYSTEM” kesa sa kanila…
O sige..basta huwag kayong mag-give up agad.. Hindi naman kayo nag-iisa..Marami tayo na “NAGKAKAISA”(title yata ng kanta to eh…para matawa naman kayo di ba?he-he..masyado na tayo “stress” kasi sa bwisit na AJ na yan!)
God bless us all!
Carolyn
hello kababayan’s
carol sorry medyo hindi kita nakausap ng matagal night duty pa kasi ko sorry,pero anyway hindi ko pa rin makita yung letter nagawa mo,what will i do is to make a complain letter and passed to SG Banister 40 Great james street london Wc1 3hb if address is correct based on the respond letter of Aj global doon sa message ni lea ang banister yung legal practitioner na mayhawak ng kaso so ang kailangan nating gawin magsubmit ng complain sa kanila para masagot nila yung reklamo natin and what will happen to our money if they return it back?ito pala yung number ko sa 02392355815 0r 07727138980,we have to be united and push this complaint to the right authority mabuhay tayong lahat!magtawagan lang tayo kung any clarification about the plans.
jhonny -portsmouth
hi mga kabayan,
thank you sa mga info, magsusulat din ako sa sg banister at magcocomplain sa police. Join ako kung ano mang step ang gawin natin lahat. Justice for all dba? Carolyn, i tried to call you, hindi kita macontact. here’s my numbr 07956307211.
AJ GLOBAL - LALAINE UBANDO
Confirmation of AJ Global’s problems, go to Balita Pinoy, you will see the current details as well as previous stories
http://www.balitapinoy.net/link.asp?smenu=236&sdetail=17562&wpage=1
Kamusta na mga kabayan? Nabasa nyo na ba itong website ng balitang pinoy? Sa tingin ko tama na i-address natin ang lahat ng complain natin sa SG Banister. mag-attach tayo ng letter from Barclays ng proof na nag-transfer tayo ng pera sa account ng AJ Global para malaman nila kung gaano kalaki ang damages ng AJ. Mas madali sana kung may receipt ang kaso matagal na silang di nagpapadala ng resibo sa ating mga remitters.Good luck sa ating lahat!
Jhonny- portsmouth
Sobra talaga pagkakamali ko, actually mistake ko yun talaga kasi dapat cbn me magpapadala that time pero sa kanila ko napasok, di na puwede mabawi, isang pindot lang sa computer…nawala na pinaghirapan ko. Hindi ko talaga alam kasi nagpadala pa me sa kanila last june, nakuha ko naman agad. Pero nung tumatawag me before me magpadala ng pera this month eh wala na sumasagot, yun kasi ginagawa ko before, tatawag muna sa kanila before magpadala, kinabahan na ako at hirap ko sila matawagan. Anyway, nangyari na ang hindi inaasahan. Bakit ba may mga taong ganyan, walng kunsiyensiya, buti kung pinupulot lang natin pera dito sa england, lahat tayo pinaghirapan iyon. Bakit pa sila tumatanggap ng transactions kung may problem na pa sila.
Hay naku, biruin mo, kapwa pa natin pinoy ang manloloko sa atin sa ibang bansa. Saan ba tayo susulat, yun sg banister ba yun solicitor nila?
Hindi naman tayo pababayaan ng Maykapal, kundi man maibalik yun pera sa atin, pagdusahan nila yun ginawa nila sa atin.
Hello mga kababayan, I’m so pleased to find this site. Like you all naloko din ako ng AJ Global. I have reported them to Kent police. I was told that they will investigate on the matter. I also spoke to S G Bannister 02074309292 (got their number thru consumer direct) they told me that they will start the investigation next month. I have already sent them a letter of complaint. Kailangan b ng letter from Barclays or can I just send a copy of my bank statement showing that i transferred the money? I would encourage you to report this to the police para magkarecord yang mga manlolokong yan at saka i believe mas gagawan nila ng action kapag marami tayo. Ano sa palagay nyo? I am hoping and praying that we all get a result on this. God Bless you all!
hello
hello kabayan,
carol nabasa ko na yung letter of complain mo,gumawa na rin ako ng draft letter ,ipatype ko sa misis ko.nakakuha na ako ng letter sa barclays na katunayan na nagpadala ko ng pera sa aj global account last aug 29,2008 at gagawin ko na rin yung form na natangap ko sa fnancial ombudsman then by monday baka ipadala ko lahat banister.god bless all of us
jhonny
Am really thankful there is website like these where we can express our sentiments and horrendous experience with AJ Global services. Am also a victim of these fraudulous company. I deposited my money to Barclays dated 25 September. Right then I phoned AJ for remittance confirmation and spoke to a guy who got my details and amount only but never mentioned as to how much my mom will received once they remit it home. Instead of responding to my queries, he left me with a message that calls always been diverted to them who deal with smart card thing and then the line went off suddently. Strange isn’t it? So ok id waited weeks till now and yet never heard again from them with my money and my mother left hanging on air waiting for it.
It is really unacceptable for me because that money will be use supposedly for my mothers cost of thyroid surgery. Until now my mother is still waiting for that money. I am new here in the UK. And was so happy because it is my first ever hard earned money as care assistant and I want to share it also with my mother but only goes astray.
I am willing to cooperate with you people here for whatever plans you want to get our money back.
Magtulongan tayo!
hello mga kababayan,
hope everything is okey pa rin kahit na naloko tayo ng AJ na yan! Jhonny, it’s good nareceived mo e-mail ko sa yo..attached ka rin ng copy of the form from the Ombudsman when you send your letter to SG Bannister..buti nga ikaw pinadalhan ka ng Ombudsman ng form, eh ng tawagan ko sila Monday & Tuesday last week never nila na-suggest na bigyan ako ng form. anyway, I read the news from BALITA PINOY about the CLOSURE of AJ GSLtd effective 26 September 2008! Grabe talaga ang ginawa ng AJ!
Here is the story in my own interpretation & understanding…
1- The change of ownership of I-Remit in 2002 led to an audit & found they were owed a lot of money by FEER(FAr East Express Remittance).
I-Remit won a major case against FEER owners due to unpaid remittances..kasi ang I-Remit was distributing the funds of our remittance money to our beneficiaries in the Phil;pero ang FEER walang pinasok na pera sa account nila..ibig sabihin some transactions are “bogus” & “shady” at imbento nila some of the transactions kaya ang laki ng “deficit” (over £600 thou)sa pera ng I-Remit na nawala.
2-The Ubando’s owners applied FEER for “voluntary liquidation”(Oct.2006) in an attempt not to pay I-Remit getting the money & the costs they have been awarded..kala ng mga Ubando’s naisahan nila ang I-Remit,imagine, dapat bayaran nila ang I-remit ng £250 thou pero they managed to almost get away with it dahil nga sa voluntary liquidation,they were almost successful until na may makita na “loophole” ang mga lawyers ng I-Remit against the Ubando’s again..
3- at ito ang nakakalito…FEER placed into liquidation on Nov.2006, however they have created another company called Far East Express Services Limited on 20 Aug.2005..
the “Phoenix”( one company disappears & another reappears in the same guise, in an attempt to avoid paying their creditors) company of AJ Global Services Ltd;so all the while pala lahat ng remittance money natin na pasok sa AJ’s account nila,credited sa FEES account nila( yun ang pagkakaintindi ko)..dito na nakakita ng butas ulit ang mga I-remit lawyers.
So they file another case, this time against the Ubando’s personally for all the cost they have incurred to I-Remit & it’s lawyers.
4 The case should only last for 5 days pero umabot ng 15 days dahil sa delaying tactics ni Lalaine Ubando..kaya lalong lumaki ang gastos ng AJ at ang utang nila lumaki sa I-remit & bec.of that the Judge awarded I-Remit more than what they should be entitled of..including costs of their legal fees too..
Judge D.Richards gave a “harshly critical comment” on Lalaine Ubando & called her a “LIAR”,”IMPLAUSIBLE/UNCONVINCING” . Placing FEER in liquidation was a “SHAM” and they did it for their personal gains, hence they didn’t conform to the law.Biruin nyo, na-moved na nila mga assets nila prior to the liquidation in the knowldege they would lose the case..SAMA TALAGA NILA ANO?That is clearly against DTI rules.
Ito pa mga kabayan, mismong lawyers ng AJ, hindi nabayaran and are pursuing them separately not for their costs but for their personal guarantees..
kaya pala from May 2008 there has been rumors about AJ which we weren’t aware of..aat ang excuse di ba “due to technical difficulties?”..yun pala natalo na naman at doon na nag-start magnakaw ng pera natin..pambayad sa I-Remit!
Ang kaso nila is THEFT, alleged FRAUD & Breaches Of Law!
Kaya mga kabayan, let’s pursue our case as well & just like their lawyers hindi na pera ang habol nila but for personal guarantees na di na nila magagawa manloko ulit dito sa UK!
Imagine, they were in breach of law bec. we didn’t consented them to transferred our records from FEER to AJ GSLtd; di ba? wala tayong written approval sa kanila & that is not legal under the Data Protection Act.
kaya may malakas tayong case laban sa kanila..I think we should join their lawyers too..the last paragraph is taken from Balita Pinoy..
“No doubt her ex-lawyers will soon be making an application to the court’s for judgment as well, however this will almost certainly against the UBANDO’s in their name which will probably reuslt in them being made PERSONALLY INSOLVENT..buti nga sa kanila..they deserve it! I can smell VICTORY in the air for all of us! I wish they would go to prison or deported back to the Philippines..
Kaya maga kababayan, like what I said, huwag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa..OO nga di man natin mabawi ang pera natin,at least Justice prevailed! God bless us all!

mabuhay ang mga PILIPINO except mga manloloko.
I am so thankful for this forum. Same with you guys, I was a victim of AJ GLOBAL SERVICES LTD. (formerly known as FAR EAST EXPRESS REMITTANCE SERVICES. I never knew about this forum until I joined the filipino forum website. Just an update guys, I knew a friend who works for AJ from the phils as a call agent center and I was told that they were asked to stop reporting to work since 20th September bec AJ annouces closure of the company. I feel really bad that we’ve been a victim of this fraudulent company.
Thank you so much guys for all your effort and for sharing your ideas on what we should do about our hard-earned money.
Itaas ang bandila ng pilipino, dahil sabi nga ng ABS-CBN…walang iwanan sa bayan ni JUAN.
Balita Pinoy first reported on this matter re the Ubando’s 2 years ago, we are following it up with the Insolvenvy Service (successors to the old DTI) and will be publishing an update with e help system tomorrow (Tuesday). There is already one story current on the Front Page - any one who wishes to contact us can either use the comment box below the latest story or e-mail us direct on: citydesk@balitapinoy.net
There is a possibility legal action may be started on behalf of victims as part of a class action as well as getting a lawyer to represent creditors at the creditors meeting which will be held (we understand) sometime in October.
As this is an urgent and important matter we urge those involved to contact us as soon as possible and to tell their friends who have been similarly affected

i’ve already e-mailed balita pinoy.sa kanila ko unang nalamam tungkol sa kaso ng iremit laban sa aj global noong august.very reliable sila.so sa lahat ng mga remitters na nabiktima ng mga ubandos pls. get in touch sa kanila para matulungan nila tayo.mas maraming complain mas malakas ang kaso.
hi sa lahat ng mga kababayan. isa rin ako sa biktima ng aj na yan.. magtanong lang ako pede bang magmura dito? gusto ko lang ilabas ang galit ko.. ngaun lang ako napadpad sa site na ito sa tagal ko naghanap kc alam ko di lang ako nagiisa at un nga tama nga ako. salamat sa site na ito! tulad din ninyo grabe na pahirap sa akin at sa pamilya ko ang ginawa nitong aj.. tumawag na rin ako sa SG Banister at nakausap ko na rin ung sa balitang pinoy.. un nga still invistagating.. umaasa lang ako na makuha pa rin natin ang pera natin.. kung ano man ang hakbang ninyo sasama ako mga kababayan.. i will let u know as well kung ano mga developments.. thanks to all ur efforts mga kapwa pinoy. Godbless!
Hello mga kababayans! Tumawag me kanina sa FSA, HMRC pero as usual wala rin sila magagawa. Then they gave the number of trading standards, hindi nila sakop yun ganitong type of business pero they forward me to consumer house, sila yun nakakaalam kung liquidate na yun company pero so far wala pa daw pinapasa yun AJ Global sa kanila, as far as their records, active pa rin daw ito. I’ve asked them kung baka makakalusot sila pero hindi naman daw kasi automatic malalaman nila kung nabankrupt na or naliquidate na yun company. they advised me to refer to solicitor. Ngayon pa lang me susulat sa SG Bannister. Sana wag kayo magsawa carolyn, jhonny sa ginagawa niyo, di man nila maibalik ;ahat ng pera natin eh dapat pagdusahan nila ito, hindi lang basta damages ang ginawa nila sa atin. Kung may masamang nangyari sa pamilya ko dahil sa pera na iyan eh mapapakulam ko talaga sila, walang kunsiyensiya. Pero siyempre, hindi naman nagwawagi ang kasamaan. Magkaisa na lang tayo against these type of people.
Kababayan, isa din ako sa mga naloko ng AJ Global services…Gud i found this site at napakadami pala natin na niloko ng AJ. Last Aug 22 i sent £1050 to AJ for my family, first they said in a week time my husband will rciv my money, then after a week another 15 days daw,after a while i cant contact them anymore..Kanina i went to police station of Kings lynn but sad to say i did not get much help from them but they gave me Kent’s police station tel number coz AJ is base in Kent. I want to join u guys and im willing to help in any way so we get justice and get oue money. I sent message to XXXfiles also but none heard fr them yet. Magkaisa tayo mga kababayan..wag natin kalimutan that we need more prayers…
hi mga kababayan. im sorry i haven’t been around.. you can count me in if you decide to pursue them with solicitors.. ive just read the messages here since i last logged in and nice work to carolyn and jhonny.. still can’t believe that their barclays account is open! so that means their fraudulent behaviour is intentional kasi misleading sa mga remitters! besides, i think hindi lahat ng remitters are aware of what’s happenning and that’s so sad that kapwa pinoy pa talaga ang manloloko satin!
i will email balita pinoy.. keep on fighting mga kabayan im sure in the end we will win!

officials of remittance firm accused of syndicated estafa
10/02/2008 | 05:14 PM
Email this | Email the Editor | Print | Digg this | Add to del.icio.us MANILA, Philippines – Seven officials of a remittance company were accused of syndicated estafa, allegedly for failing to transfer more than P300,000 sent by a Filipina nurse from the United Kingdom to her sister here in the Philippines.
This was revealed on Thursday by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), which identified the company as Far East Express Remittances Inc., which has its office at the at the South Star Plaza Building, in Barangay Bangkal, Makati.
Named as respondents in the case are the following:
• Josephine Alayon, general manager and treasurer
• Adan Ubando, chairman and president
• Jerome Ubando, incorporator
• Lalaine Ubando, incorporator
• Edwin Ong, incorporator
• lawyer Roberto Dio, corporate secretary
• lawyer Ma. Pilar Pilares-Gutierrez, assistant corporate secretary
The case stemmed from the complaint of Linie Namoca, 31, a resident of Antipolo, Rizal, according to Arnel Dalumpines, chief of the NBI Special Task Force.
As she stated in her complaint, Namoca said her sister Lizle, a nurse working in London, sent her 3,800 pounds (about P315,136) last April through London-based AJ Global Services Ltd. (P316,487), which was supposed to have been remitted and deposited to her savings account at the Ortigas branch of Banco de Oro.
Days passed but still no amount was deposited to her account. Namoca to called her sister abroad. The sister inquired about the money with the staff of AJ Global Services Ltd.
The nurse found out that her money had been sent through Far East Express, AJ Global’s sister company in the Philippines.
When the complainant checked, Alayon, Far East Express general manager, told her that the money was already with them and that they were only doing an accounting of all the money sent from abroad.
She said Alayon even assured her that she would speed up the process of having her money deposited to her account.
But months passed, and despite repeated demands from Namoca, no money was deposited to her account.
Namoca went to the NBI to complain.
The NBI sent a subpoena to the last known office address of Far East Express, at Room 9 B at the ninth floor of the Valero Tower Condominium, 122 Valero St., Salcedo Village, Makati City.
The subpoena was returned allegedly because the company moved out of the building.
The NBI then sent another subpoena to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asking for the articles of incorporation and by-laws of Far East Express, where in a new address was located and the incorporators’ names revealed.
The NBI then sent a subpoena was then sent to the incorporators, but they failed to shed light on the matter.
In a letter to the Makati City Prosecutor, NBI Director lawyer Mantaring berated the company, saying: “Far East Express Remittance Philippines Inc., instead of helping our OFWs, victimizes our modern-day heroes who endure everything just to earn money for their family and children.” - GMANews.TV
“Perang pinaghirapan sa ibang bansa, kapalit ay hirap, puyat at lungkot na mawalay sa pamilya, kapwa kababayan din ang ngtamasa, Hindi estafa ang dapat ng mga taong nghintay at pinaasa ng sapat”
“Perang pinaghirapan sa ibang bansa, kapalit ay hirap, puyat at lungkot na mawalay sa pamilya, kapwa kababayan din ang ngtamasa, Hindi lang sana estafa ang nararapat sa mga tulad nilang nagpapahirap at nagpapaasa ng sapat”

hi mga kababayan
by the way nadiscover ko din kanina umaga yung news about the estafa case against the Ubandos at sa mga kakutsaba na mga kaanak din nila.. Tinawag ko nga kanina yan sa editor ng BALITA PINOY at nagpasalamat pa nga at sabi bakit hindi niya nadiscover yon ng una pa sa akin he-he..!nag-e-mail na ako sa Philippine Daily Inquirer at GMA.TV para malaman nila na madami tayo na naloko ng AJ! Kung member daw kayo ng UNISON may free legal advise yata, ako sa RCN kaya di ako sure..anyway kung mag-file tayo ng mass/class action ng personal case against the UBANDOS tiyak panalo tayo! kung gusto ninyo, pwede natin siguro kunin yung lawyer ng I-Remit, magaling kasi eh… kailangan talaga mag-unite tayong lahat at pagplanuhin ng maigi. By the way, I have reported this issue/complaint to my local police station at kinuha nga nila yung case number from the ORPINGTON na CAB 4361 3880 and they will deal with it& liased sa Orpington Police. Galing din ako sa Barclays at humingi sila ng photocopy ng information from Balita Pinoy and my complaint has been taken too.
Kaya sana ginawa ninyo din yan at sabihin ninyo sa Barclays na the issue should be on their system na at reported to the police.
Tatawag ako sa NBI mamaya or Phil.time para mainform din sila tungkol sa atin and I will keep you posted about any developments..
God bless us all

Kawawa lawyer nila i’m sure di naman siguro kasama dito. nadamay tuloy. anyway, sa mga naghahanapa ng bago nyong mapapadalahan ng pera try nyo Sure Money remittance http://www.suremoneyremittance.com - may libreng padala sa knila atleast makabawi man lang tayo kahit papaano. Palagay ko kasi di na natin mabawi yong pera na deniposit natin sa account nila. Sayang Pera ko!!!

hi mga kabayan,
I have managed to contact this morning the NBI..@2pm Phil.time, pero di ko nakausap si Chief Arnel Dalumpines, head of the task force..yung subordinates niya ang nakausap ko.. I was advised to ring again on Monday para makausap ko mismo si Chief Dalumpines.. I told the NBI na marami ang mga naloko ng AJ Global and their counterpart sa Pinas..Na-shocked nga ang kausap ko from the NBI kaninasa extent/severity ng kaso dito..
Ni-refer ko din ang website na ito so they see all the complainants/victims ng fraudulent na AJ! It was suggested kung ang mga beneficiaries natin will go forward to the NBI then talagang may strong case against them! I will have to find out on Monday pag nakausap ko na si Chief A.Dalumpines
by the way, I was given Chief Dalumpines his office direct number (02 area code)524-1141, kung gusto nyo rin tumawag on Monday, the better for all of us atlis malaman niya na marami tayo..
Don’t forget to communicate either with me or kay Jhonny( number as stated above) pag may time kayo so we can plan against sa AJ Global…
God bless us all

Important information regarding AJ Global/Far East Express. Trading Standards in Kent have requested that all complainants use a single form to complain. They are liaising with the police on this matter and and to make sure all complaints are in a single place we have placed a form on Balita Pinoy in the AJ Global story. Victims can fill this in and these details will be handled by trading standards who will co-operate with British police on this matter.
It is to ensure that the confusion that has happened over complaining can be centralized - it is probably the best way and we have agreed to this

And many thanks to the administrator of this site for the assistance they gave over another matter related to this. No public details can be given but it was their timely intervention that may be crucial in (hopefull
