12. Newly published London Fashion Exchange accounts show no trading!

The London Fashion exchange, which in 2013 Roland Tilman claimed was one of the country's biggest hair extension importers - and soon to be a household brand - ceased to trade in January 2014 following a trading standards investigation and a police raid on a number of premises connected to the company.

The final proof, if any was needed, that Roland Tilman is a professional bullshitter has now come in the shape of the recently published London Fashion Exchange accounts. Depending on what you believe, the company that owns the London Fashion Exchange "brand" was either London Fashion Exchange LTD or Scootec LTD. 

You can see here that the company receipts suggest the company was called London Fashion Exchange LTD, although paymentfor the London Fashion Exchange "training course" was to be made to Scootec LTD.

Roland Tilman claimed to me that Scootec LTD was the "parent" company, and that the London Fashion Exchange brand was transferred to "London Fashion Exchange LTD" owned by former X-Factor finalist Joe Cox in October 2014. 

BOTH companies have just published accounts that show no trading. What further condemnation could there be for a company that exploited school-leavers for nearly a year - offering job-seekers "employment" but then charging them for useless "training courses", and then sending them out on to the street (often without pay) to sign others up for the same empty scheme.

So as perhaps the final post on this blog, here follows a list of the key figures involved with this scam. DO not trust any of these people!

Roland Tilman: the founder and ringleader of the London Fashion exchange scam

Joe Cox: Former the X-Factor finalist was a manager and then (allegedly) the owner of the London Fashion Exchange

Tre McKenzie: claims that he designed the "training course" (even though Roland Tilman claimed Jordan Belfort had designed it (!). Also a manager.

Alex McMillan: Brought in to help conduct the "training" course in the last few months of LFE's existence. You can see Alex's website at www.successmoves.co.uk

Emma McKenzie: Lower level manager who organised the teams that went out onto the street to sign more pople up for the training courses. She was also employed to make appearances at London Fashion Exchange training seminars and to lie about how she "became really successful thanks to LFE".
