SVC Legal Australia and Kalpinand (Abel) Prasad
Late in day on 4 February 2015 - witness statement by Alex Tees, Solicitor and ex SVC Legal, uploaded to this website
11:44am on 4 February 2015 - email received from Shafat Hussain claiming fake emails sent to MA under his name (see comments section of this blog)
5:15pm on 3 February 2015 - SVC Legal Australia and Abel Prasad deny allegations and threaten to sue SVC-to-MA-3-Feb-15.pdf
Migration Alliance has recently become aware of grave concerns regarding the conduct of Abel Kalpinand Prasad aka Abel Prasad.
The allegations are that he has behaved in a way which may see him being brought to account with respect to his dealings with SVC Legal Australia.
The most prudent course having regard to the relationship between MA and SVC legal is to suspend that relationship until further notice and to ask all of the members of MA to be very cautious in their dealings with Abel Kalpinand Prasad.
MA is concerned that the SVC Legal Australia offer of a “professional year” may not be in conformity with the guidelines formulated by DIBP and may not be approved or included in any relevant legislative instrument.
The allegations concerning Abel Prasad, and by association, SVC Legal Australia, in which he has a 75% stake, arise by reason of a purported ownership interest by Mr Prasad and do not apply to any person employed by that entity or the entity itself. However the association between the individual and the entity are so close and the offering of a “professional year” are said to attach to the entity not the individual.
Thus, the most prudent course is to exercise extreme caution.
MA seeks information from its members concerning any offer made by Abel Prasad concerning a “professional year” which has been communicated to any member of MA or a member of the public so that we may refer the matter to the appropriate authorities for investigation.
MA has received written and oral evidence from third parties that Mr Prasad owes recent employees money for wages and superannuation and that at least two are claiming for unpaid wages.
We have it on good authority that Mr Prasad and/or SVC Legal Australia owes a well known Australian printing company approximately $6000.00. The company are chasing this money.
Finally we have it on good authority that Mr Prasad took a piece of paper with him in his pocket with what looked like a number of credit card numbers written on them to a Sydney cafe in Surry Hills. He asked the Sydney cafe owner to process an approximate $2300 payment through the cafe's credit card machine in exchange for the same amount in cash. Our informer states that Mr Prasad offered the cafe owner $400 cash to process the credit card through their credit card machine. The offer was declined.

Migration Alliance is in receipt of the following email and has been granted written permission to publish the information (without a copy of the drivers licence):
Hi,
I wish to inform you that someone has been sending migration alliance fake emails in my name. Please see email below from husaainshafat1965@gmail.com sent Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 9:39 PM.
I did not send this email, someone has created a fake account and pretended to be me. There are a few inconsistencies in this email that I would like to point out:
- My name is Shafat Hussain and not Husaain Shafat, they have got my name the wrong way around and they have misspelt my surname
- John Mitchell (included on this email) already informed me on 28 Jan that he will be able to refund the amount. Alex Tees was the one who put me in touch with John.
- The funds had nothing to do with a migration case, it had to do with a child custody matter in the Children's Court
- I have been in constant communication with Alex Tees over skype and email as we currently have a matter running in the Children's Court
I have attached a copy of my licence to verify my identity, however I have blacked out details like my DOB and address. I understand that some of the staff at SVC are currently being investigated for fraud, I think this has something to do with them so I don't want to circulate my licence with my personal details on it.
@Alex - will you please inform the detective in charge of this case and ask them to do an IP address trace on that email so we can find out who sent it.
@John - if anyone else contacts you claiming the money can you please give me a call? I can come and meet you to show you my licence/passport/birth certificate to verify my identity.
@google - please shut down the fake account husaainshafat1965@gmail.com· Migration Alliance likes this comment. -

Jesus Christ, I have received few emails promoting the business even be told that the firm has set some $250,000 bucks aside to help little agents in community not long ago, all turned out to be fake, the guy had started doing wrong thing. Luckily my brain is much more slower then all of you therefore am not yet respond to get any involvement in referrals.
Thank you MA for your being honest to all of us. -

That is the problem when a lawyer and a non lawyer forming a legal practice together. I have notice many RMA (non lawyer) tried to associate with their firm name by using word such as "legal, Migration Law office" etc. I also notice that myny non lawyer RMA try to employ qualify lawyer in their firm so they can then call their office "legal firm" etc.
The other thing is that Non RMA should not be allowed to form a company and then employ RMA to work for them. This loophole should be closed because it also use by the ex RMA who license have been cancelled to continue their migration practise in this way. -

NSW Surry Hills Police received multiple reports of fraud by Chinese victims of Prasad and SVC Legal Australia in 2014 but DID nothing....what was the nature of the relationship between NSW Police and Abel Kalpinand Prasad and his then Sydney Venture Capital Pty Ltd ? What is Fedral Dept of Immigration and Border Protection doing about his obvious fraud ? and Why does Legal Services Commissioner of NSW and Law Society of NSW continue to allow Prasad and his Fiancee Annalise Oriti in tandem with stooge Lawyer Ben Andrews still allowed to operate a Solicitor Corporation ? Why did Law Society Trust Account Investigator Peter Edwards collude with demonstrated Fraudster Prasad to produce a hitherto hidden second fabricated statement implicating fraud victims Alex Tees and Des ODriscoll in arranging to have him kidnapped and threatened ?

And now thankfully he is in the hands of the police. I sincerely hope that the thousand dollar scams against migrants will also be on his rap sheet

He unfortunately has started scamming people I know well in Brisbane.
I knew he was definitely not a straight arrow but I am certain he continued scamming people regarding VISAs here. He has also started a business here and scammed tens of thousands of dollars from them. I did not think people would far for it as I saw straight through his nonsense.
But apparently some quite well off and successful people fell for it.
What do I do? -

Another one worth checking out for fraud....
https://www.facebook.com/bajwaimmigration/
previously known company as seven seas from Punjab. He apparently takes your land and property in India and gets you sponsor and spouse marriage (or contract marriage). What wrong with these turbinators. -

This scum bag ripped me off in Adelaide by going bankrupt rather than paying his debts. He also ripped of his business partner who is a member of a bikie gang. I kept an eye on him after he moved to Sydney and found that he had registered as a director of a company, I contacted the bankruptcy accountant and they followed up and he said it happened by error. I have tried my hardest to ensure that this scumbag got caught doing something, i even called his mother ( who was pretty much financing his bad habits in Adelaide) but she had her lawyer contact me and ask not to contact her again. Unfortunately the system is setup that until people like this hurt alot of people until they are able to stop them. But i can promise you that with this guys history after 2 years jail he will be back at it, he thinks himself above others.
