Statement on counterfeiting, fraud and misuse of the image and name TrotaCuentos Group (Peru)

A end of 2009, we received the request from the Colombian entity: Comfacauca (Casa del Cauca Family Compensation) to "verify the authenticity " an invitation to a Festival "allegedly" arranged by us addressed to the narrator Colombiano: Garzón Edwin Lasso, who in presenting this false document obtained work permits and financial support to come to Peru the last days of December.

As we announced the Comfacauca , Mr. Edwin Garzón insists on affirming who came to Peru at the invitation of ours and said that he worked with us. Faced with this and having agreed with Comfacauca , we feel the need to make this public to delineate possible future problems, hoping that there are no more bodies or persons concerned.

attached explanatory text and images of letters confirming the scam.
