We bring this saga to you under the heading of the
Watchers, a group of people who for the past ten years have either worked for this company or who have close ties to staff still employed and who regularly keep us posted to events happening on a daily basis. Updated to include current recent events and information newly received from Nevada authorities revealing more names entangled in this duplicitous web! Our tale begins in 1979 where Aaron was learning his craft with his father acting as mentor. By this stage, Ivor was already a dab hand at winding up companies. Take Stanbourne Properties Ltd & Trade Surplus Ltd, as just one of many of his companies compulsorily wound up at the High court of London by creditors. Aaron by then aged 27 was learning from the expert. Aaron came into his own aged 32 through Saxonclass. Wound up in court in 1994, this company had a name change to City and Westminster Financial Plc. Aaron was sued in the high court by a group of over thirty who were representing the vast number of people caught up in this debacle who had handed over money for services never received. Saxonclass (CWF) was tied to other companies registered to our principals, namely Archford Computers international, Hardcomp, The householders Association, City and Westminster Properties, and others (a full trading history is available with this report). Aaron Gershfield Ian Harries and Andrew Greystoke dreamed up the ultimate scam in 1988, a merger between two corrupt groups the Archford Group and the A & M group. The merged companies listed on the stock exchange under The City and Westminster Group and they spectacularly ran up debts of over six million pounds (investors got nothing) and the whole group were wound up in1999 in court (DTI investigation, documents attached). Of course, the Money disappeared! Since then Gershfield & Harries have gone on to perpetuate scam after scam after scam. Ivors name has slowly disappeared from company registrations, although his name is prominent in the companies that really matter, for example, The Harris Holdings Ltd which is the offshore Daddy of them all. This company has many names and even more locations. They were in Guernsey but then migrated to Belize. Other related names include, The Harris Family Trust, The Amended Harris Family Trust, The JB Harris Family Trust and locations include Gibraltar (The Atlantic Trust) Bermuda, Singapore (The Meridia Trust) SirLanka, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and as rumour has it, accounts held in India, Spain, Turkey & Cyprus, (some Piggy Bank). Then there came the great Pay Day Loan SCAM ran in the USA where they were stopped by Nevada Authorities and handed over $1,000,000 to avoid full-blown prosecution. This scam netted untold millions (we estimate in excess of $200m) taken illegally from bank accounts (all well documented on the net) and all this stolen money lots was squandered (for example, the film 3 & Out was a 7m total disaster), numerous properties bought in Spain at the height of the property boom, and a raft of absolutely useless and just plain daft ideas. This man has singlehandedly wasted more money than anyone else on the planet. He wants to be another Richard Branson but in order to be like him he would have to actually make all these dummy registered companies work and this he is unable to do because his whole attention is taken up in how to scam yet more money out of people. The latest Scam in the UK is Eyecare international Ltd a company that boasts bringing affordable eye care to companies work places they turn up in trailers built in various locations by unskilled workers from Poland who were picked up on street corners are paid in cash minimum wage or less and if they complained were got rid of and replaced the same day. These trailers are dangerous and uncertified, health and safety is a foreign concept to this group. These trailers Gershfield dreamt up the title of calling them the "Tardis" are rubbish build from bits and pieces and an accident waiting to happen several have overturned on the motorways, The eye examination is for the sole purpose of getting people to part with their bank details giving them access to money they have no right to take by direct debit they are another form of pay day loans. The glasses themselves are assembled in the basement of Northway House overseen by Sandeep who is just a trained darts player, a total yes man who is terrified of Gershfield & Harries. They import cheap nasty frames from china and over stamp them made in Britain. The lens are cut and fitted by people who could be cleaning toilets in the morning then stuck in the basement in the afternoon using machinery that is either antiquated or in a dangerous condition. No training is given, no health or safety regulations followed and these machines are spewing out fumes through the building because there is no ventilation. The complaints against this operation are mounting at an alarming rate on a daily basis.Roles Played
Aaron Gershfield
Dreamer of great business achievements but in reality nothing but a conman, although he had made millions from illegal scams has houses in Bishops Ave, Hampstead, Whetstone, Oakleigh Park, Muswell Hill, his family trust own the building Northway House through Transview properties. This company had its own moment of glory in 2008/2009 trial and appeal both lost in the high court where he tried to get out of a 2.5 million payment to City Sites (the previous owners). The appeal judges branded Gershfield, Harries and Kleyman unreliable (plain language liars). This sham cost around 1,000,000 in legal fees, excluding unpaid costs to the other side!
Ivor Gershfield
Aging mentor to Aaron now semi retired looks like a genial old man but is still as sharp as ever and just as crooked as his son. Still heavily involved with all the offshore bankers and trusts controlling the (now dwindling) Gershfield fortune. Conveniently has ties to Cyprus and Turkey (no extradition treaty). Regular little Asil Nadir is Ivor!
Ian Foster Harries
Although he holds no shares in any of the companies he is director to many, he is highly rewarded for his part in these scams and has progressed from a modest three bedroom semi in West London to a palatial detached property still in west London value 3million plus. Harries is a quietly spoken devious slime ball who has the task of keeping people away from Aaron as he explodes when temper tantrums prevail that have him roaring through the building swearing and insulting staff on a regular basis he is a complete sleeze ball who knows where all the bodies are buried and is very well paid for his complicity.
Stephanie Lara Kleyman
Known as the pitbull or superbitch (take your pick, I vote Queen b***h!) a very nasty piece of work. Her task as head of Meade plc Legal is to present Zorro law and Zorro Law Personal Services as a legitimate organization. She along with her sidekick Mariam Sharafrazi are directors and secretary of these law firms mainly used in unfair dismissals against staff and other nefarious activities. This is a "woman" who will perjure herself in court and used every dirty trick in the book to get her employers out of paying contractors and anyone else they owe money to. If you are a tenant at Northway House, youve likely already experienced this womans tactics. Threaten to report her to the Law Society and she backs off. She does not want an inspection of her law firms accounts!
Goutham Yogesh Bafna
Come a long way from call centre operator has our Yogesh. Hes now director of several companies especially McCarthy and Allen a very dubious company with ties in Singapore transferring a million shares to another dodgy offshore trust. His nickname is The Keeper referring to the passports taken from students who by law are allowed to work 20 hours a week but in reality do more like 50 and tax is deducted from their wages. Ruled by fear of deportation. When they do manage to leave this company the tax offices have no record of tax ever being paid. A complete toady is our Yogesh, and completely owned by Aaron, so unable to leave.
Ed Tracey
Golden haird and soft spoken, Ed Tracy is the patsy frontman director of Meade Investments. Ed is a polite, well mannered, and by all accounts, competent junior level corporate drone--having trained in the city. Handpicked and groomed by Gershfield to be his successor (passing over heir in waiting Oliver Gershfield). Ed is in FAR too deep and last we heard is about to jump ship. Looks like the reins are all yours Oliver!
Stephen Gray
Shady, exiled American tax lawyer living in Europe, who we now know to have been instrumental in planning and guiding Aaron and co through setting up all the payday loan companies including help in dodging the taxman (both here and in America) and laundering all the illegal proceeds through offshore trusts (document attached). Using companies in tax havens like Belize and the Seychelles, our Stephen is quite the entrepreneur and obviously well compensated for his complicity.
Sandeep Chauhan
What can we say about Sandeep? He does what he is told, when he is told, and will jump to whatever height is required on demand. He is absolutely useless in all departments, knows nothing about anything and will just Google all subjects and then deny all responsibility when things go wrong. A creep of the highest order with no discernable skills which is why he remains. Enough said!
Lorraine Coombes left the company and will do the right thing now.
Tim Johnson
Tim is a weedy little man who had been with Gershfield as he loves to boast for ten years or more. A former bank manager and deposed head of Gershfields failed spin off financial ventures, he currently heads up HR at Meade (such as it is). Staff nickname him the grim reaper as he does all the low level firings. Anything difficult is fastracked to Zorro law. Tim also serves as Gottliebs number two, hocking the ridiculous Eyecare and Bodycare to "blue chip" clients! What a weasel of a man. Trapped by the high salary and mouths to feed, he bends over and takes it from anyone and everyone and probably enjoys it.
Andrew Mark Osman
Andrew is a seemingly innocent and quite jovial head of "strategy" for Meade and its related failed companies. Creator of convoluted and unworkable business plans, he is best avoided at all costs. Aarons virtual mini-me, this man will literally talk you to death, and then feed off your carcass! If you see him, run. Fast as he wont be able to keep up with you.
Dean Taylor left the company and will do the right thing now.
Mark Gottlieb
Self proclaimed media guru (failed) and a total tosspot director of Rovinge Group this is the mob that made the disastrous 3 & Out. He is also involved in the operation of the trailers and is a director of Eyecare International, Serviceyes Ltd, and Bodycare International Ltd. Turns out, Gottlieb is actually more smooth talking silver fox, than loud mouthed yob and is presented as the PR face of Gershfields ventures. Though obviously well paid for his efforts, he is nevertheless just another lackey and minion.
Jim Harris
Harris was drafted by the Gershfields to head up the American lending operation, He was the supposedly squeaky clean corporate fact of the murky lending empire. Liaising with sidekicks Mark Borel and Dainella Preston, he helped Gershfeild collect and transfer millions from American bank account. Was finally apprehended and sued by the FTC along with the Gershfields. Possibly inactive, but still knows far too much about the payday to be discounted.
Jacqueline Hunter
Another new name well connected to the Gershfields. This mysterious Guernsey based operative of The Harris Holdings and signatory to all kinds of illegal swap agreements and other dubious Gershfield company supposedly "arms length" contracts should be carefully watched. A very dangerous and well paid woman is our Jacqueline. The authorities are already looking into her ties with North Atlantic Trust out of Gibraltar and her eponymous JBH Holdings as well as her involvement with other Gershfield family facilitators.
Tara Kozal
Ostensibly, Aaron Gershfields PA, rumour has it she is truly a very personal assistant of Aaron , replacing former confidante Verra Mawhinney. Tara serves as the corporate "face" of Meade, always immaculately dressed and meticulously manicured, but behind the facade, she is the head of the Gestapo like secret Meade police. She is the eyes and ears of Aaron around the building, and round the clock! Yes, Tara knows all and dutifully reports all to her master. Your secrets are not safe with Two faced Tara.
Minor players
Too stupid to waste time on faithful yes folks one and all, but they do know the score and are trapped by either their own incompetence or greed.

AARON GERSHFIELD RETURNS!
#2UPDATE Employee
Tue, November 02, 2010
There are rumours around the London headquarters of Meade/ Heathmill/ Rovinge/ Cash Today, et al, that the twice Bankrupt criminal mastermind that is Aaron Gershfield has returned from exile to dissuade Mark Fraser Gottlieb from jumping ship after the chosen one, golden boy Edward Fraser (any relation?), bolted. Can the always ready to please Sandeep Chauhan or the lap dog Mark Andrew Osman anchor whats left of this sinking ship? Or will it fall to slimy Tim Johnson to worm this lot out of their predicament? Or will Master Oliver Gershfield finally come into his own? And what a predicament. Production of those unroadworthy trailers in Colindale is at a standstill and the cleaner staffed Northway House basement lab, which once spewed noxious fumes throughout the building from Aarons illegal little workshop is deserted with thousands of cheap, nasty Chinese frames gathering dust nearby. Also, all of the illegal workers have been fired and or deported and the Polish work force has yet to be paid, so no surprise there. The great Aaron Gershfield is being tracked and will be brought to justice with whats left of his merry little band. The ship is continuing to slowly sink and the departing rats are jostling for place in line, with sharpened pencils, ready to give statements when the authorities and the banks swarm over the hellhole that is Northway House like a plague of fire ants. The difference between the scams Aaron and his henchman used to pull, City & Westminster, Payday loans, etc, is that in those days, there was no internet and no electronic downloads from Companies House making paper trails harder to follow. Nowadays, it is all out there at the touch of a button and Aarons biggest mistake (at least with Cash Today and the other Payday loan scam companies and now with Eyercare and Bodycare) is that too many people know all the little bits and pieces. Everybody has a necessary piece of the jigsaw puzzle, but a jigsaw can be put together and put together it has! Now, Immigration, Inland Revenue, Department of Transport, the Office of Fair Trading, Trading Standards, and the Fraud Squad (to name just a few) have the whole picture. This is what happens when thieves fall out and ex-employees get really pissed off. They talk, they complain, and very soon you have a band of people exchanging information which is never a good thing for criminals. Perhaps the always arrogant Aaron actually thought he could go on scamming people indefinitely? Well if he did, hes living in a fools paradise! He has been tracked from Hardcomp (Archford Computers 1991) to (Dynamite Services 2010) and every scrap of gathered information has been handed over to the appropriate regulatory agencies and other interested parties, Worldwide! We hope that big, fat arse of Aarons is well covered as Yogesh and Sandeep will crack under pressure from Immigration and then everyone will know where all the bodies are buried. Might we also suggest that somebody tells Stephanie and her Zorro girls that the posts defending Aaron, Meade and attacking staff members are not working. We know exactly who the plants are both inside and outside the building and they might just find their pictures posted on the web and Bill Posted to the now closed shopfront of that filthy excuse for a coffee shop Coffee & Tease. Yes, for sure, Aaron Gershfield has ruined the lives of countless people. He has stolen money from bank accounts around the world and is still trying to get bank details from people in this country with companies using these pitiful trailers. But his time has just run out. Aaron, Ivor, and Ian will be stopped, charged, and punished. And as for you Ms. Kleyman, were just getting started with you! Your time is coming as well. Time to look for a new career ad your days of peddling that Zorro Law firm are rapidly nearing an end. Finally, our bosses have told us that as a reward for all of our hard work tracking you bastards, on the day they lead this rag tag bunch of crooks from the building in handcuffs, in a blaze of flashbulbs (Aaron always wanted to be in movies) we can do a happy dance through the mess he calls a reception and then force feed Loretta all the out of date frozen food Aaron keeps in the broken fridges in the coffee shop! That day is coming very, very soon as we and others continue to report everything we know about Aaron and Ivor Gershfield, Ian Harries, and Stephanie Kleyman to every authority, banker, landlord, fraud site and tenant at Northway House. We will ensure that Aaron and his cohorts end up behind bars where they belong!
