Here is the media release from the Department of Fair Trading about Mr Sam Cohen: Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe said a Leichhardt man who sells hair loss treatments had been convicted of misleading the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal (CTTT). Samuel Faraj Cohen, the Managing Director of the Institute of Hair Regrowth and Beauty [...]
The Judge at Parramatta’s Criminal Court of Appeals warned Mr Cohen that his appeal against his criminal conviction for lying during a Tribunal could easily backfire, and that the more he (via his solicitor) presented futile arguments, the more likely it is that the Judge would re-open the case and drop a bombshell. This is [...]
At Parramatta Local Court on Friday 22 July 2011, Sam Cohen was convicted of lying at CTTT. The criminal offence carries 12 months imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $5,500.

Since moving from the City to Leichhardt, IHRB has expanded its advertising to reach the Inner West. The same unlawful and misleading ads are appearing in ‘Ciao Magazine’ to reach poor unsuspecting readers in Leichhardt, Annandale, Petersham, Stanmore, Newtown, Rozelle, Balmain, Haberfield, Drummoyne, Wareemba, Five Dock, and Concord.

What a pathetic effort by Mr Sam Cohen of IHRB. Today he has modified his website by adding a new sentence at the bottom of his page. The disgraceful sentence reads, ‘Subject to HCCC’s Permanent Prohibition Order’. Well, you can knock me down with a feather. What a joke. What a laugh. What a disgrace. Despite [...]
Of the 100 articles on this site, this one was the most difficult to write because I have been dumbfounded at the brazen audacity of Mr Sam Cohen. He has taken the damning HCCC report that makes him look like a goose, and he has turned it around and used the report to back-up his [...]
