Dear Sir,
You are undoubtedly aware of Sterling Group FIASCO which has claimed
my wife and I as a victim. We have lost all our savings and are now at the
mercy of our landlord. In 2018 we purchased a new life lifelong tenancy to secure our
housing needs for the rest of our life. WE did our due diligence, searched for press
reports and went into the ASIC website but found nothing untoward. We have since
learned ASIC had been investigating Sterling since 2015 or earlier, they also
investigated them 2010-2018 and did nothing to warn the general public.
ASIC also told retirees who contacted them that their money was safe and they had
nothing to worry about, as it was in a trust account. ASiC iS A SIC JOKE. White collar
crooks laugh at them, because they know they are weak, and they just continue on
their merry way. No thought to the chaos presented to innocent retirees such as ourselves.
As a result of ASIC's incompetence we do not have a secure roof over our heads
and will have to pay rent out of our pension, which does not leave much to live on.
ASIC has let us down badly, If they had warned us of the dangers (which they knew
of) we would not have invested our money. ASIC is there to protect the consumer and
this is unacceptable behaviour from a government department, so we are
demanding compensation for the monies e have lost.
