Paragon Properties fo Costs Rica refused to return deposit on land and defalted on their contract-possible large scale fraud case-I am another 1 of the dozens possibly hundreds of victims . Hollywood, Florida

I filed my Paragon Property complaint on May 2008 but have not followed the site in some time.  Providence ? led me to check it out over the weekend and found the suggestion to call Seniors vs Crime which I did first thing this morning.   Complaint forms will be mailed to me and I will return copies of my unsuccessful quest for my deposit refund.  So there will be one more bullet in the Paragon Properties gun.  I have stage IV cancer and have written Bill Gale that I'm not dying until I get my money back.  I can't take it with me but I can direct where it will go i.e. NOT Bill Gale, Esteban Soto C, or any Paragon Property people.

I've also been victimized by this group of thieves. I'd recently found out that Larry Webman was also behind the Paragon Properties scam and my apologize to all of you.

He is also the owner of another property development in Costa Rica called Paradise International Properties of Costa Rica. www.pipofcr.com  I've been victimized by this group which includes his attorney Gene S. Rosen. I've also found out that they have been convicted of previous criminal fraud charges in the past. In my case however, they have sold lots in Costa Rica that they could never provide proof of ownership. They proceed to ask potential buyers to place a large deposit down on the property with the balance due months later. They too date still have NOT developed the land. My guess is because they never planned to complete the project and simply take the money that was to be used to complete the infrastructure. Beware anyone that has been involved with this group.

Purchasing property in Costa Rica is risky, but I have invested in other developments that have done everything they said they would, such as the developer Costa Developers. They have 3 flourishing developments Montana, Esterillos and Reserva.

If there is any way I can help you Paragon Property victims please let me know...for I have been scammed out of a large amount of money related to Larry Webman and is intentions to steal from investors.

Call me silly but before I put a deposit down on my home, I checked out the builder 100 ways to Sunday.

A simple search for Paragon Costa Rica, the first result was this January 2005 news article. http://www.amcostarica.com/010505.htm 

Notice where back in 2005 it said "The company markets one-acre vacant lots near Parrita for $19,900. However, in an unusual twist, instead of providing a deed to the property, the company actually sells a Costa Rican corporation that owns rights to a one-acre parcel."

Do what you need to get your deposit back BUT at the same time count you blessings that you didn't build yet. 

Can you imagine if you spent money to build a home then found out you don't own the land?  It would be like a Florida Mobile Home park except in this case, your home cant be picked up and moved. 

Greetings from your leader : " Mad as h-ll and not gonna take it any more"

Just call me "Mr. Madness"  

To all those deposit holders who  have stepped forward in the last 2 weeks

and followed the action steps  listed on this site between Oct 27- 29th ,

your efforts are to be applauded !!!!!  (with regard to contacting the florida

seniors vs crime office.)

Many additional complaints have already been filed with the Seniors of Crime unit in Coral Springs since 0ct 29th. 2009 

I  monitor the weekly progress and was told by Snrs. Vs Crime '

personnel that they were impressed how many people came forward .

So congrats on deciding to unite as 1 power force . They asked me how did his happen so quickly after months of silence. I simply said becuase 'these  people finally

see a clear path to follow and are alll united on one single mission!    

So  to those who have not yet stepped forward becuase perhaps they  think this is a wasted effort and it is not worth bothering.with.   WRONG !!!!!!!!

Once we have enough complaints filed,a meeting will be scheduled

thru the Seniors vs Crime unit and deposit holders so we can jointly

and democratically discuss the progress as well as the strategy

to reach our ultimate objective. PAYDAY !

So doif you w not expect to get your deposit back if you are not part of this

action force group.

Go ahead and follow the steps referred to in the posted comments placed

regarding Paragon Properties of Costa Rica on Oct. 27 and 29th.    

Thanx to all those who have done so and make sure to check this website weekly. 

I will also be putting a blog together so deposit holders can stay in touch

and read up to date comments.

Remember to be silent is to rollover and play dead . We deserve

our unfair share of justice to prevail.

See you on the other side.

Signed,

"Mad as H-ll and not gonna take it any more"

Fellow Paragon victims:

You may have recntly read the positng placed on 0ct 19th 09 with spefic action steps every vivcitm of Paragon must take in order to get some serious leverage agianst Paragon.    

Once you have  done that, you may find the following very helpful as well:

Here are  the names of 2 very powerful people who could serve as a tremendous force in launching an investigation of and taking action against Paragon.

Roger Hamburg, : He is the Middle Florida District  assistant Us attorney -\

He was instrumental in bringing down some of the largest dishonest business men who operated in Florida.

(For example - Lou Pearlman-was one of these dishonest men  -" google" this guy  and you can read about the magnitude of his activity and his ultimate demise and punishment brought on by the US attorney.)

Roger may be all ears and should be aware of this problem with Paragon.

The more big league players in the US attorney's office who know the wonderful name of Paragon Properties of Costa Rica (and all their affliates) ,the more pressure we put on the situation.    LEVERAGE ! LEVERAGE ! LEVERAGE !

  Get his email address and send him  a personal letter .Let's direct the powerr of the pen to the folks who can make things happen.

2. Bryan Burrough- was and may still be  a

writer for Vanity Fair Magazine who

exposed Lou Pearlman and his investment schemes to the publiic as well as

to the legal forces in the government who eventually took the perpetrators

down. Lou Pearlman who was living in Wyndmere Florida in a 25,000 sq ft mansion

and yet US govt investigative forces  found him hiding out in Bali on the other side of the world.

  If they can get him in Bali , they can deal with Paragon and their associates.

Please note, there is no connection between the individual referenced above 

and Paragon Properties . It serves only as an example  that if you get to  certain individuals in the media as well as the right  people  in the government it is possible to  penetrate even the most serious and large scale white collar criminals.

As consumers, we have more power than we are aware of .

Let's direct this power  in every possible way to get to the bottom of our problem with Paragon Properties of Costa Rica until we are all satisfied. 

*****************************************************************

By the way-here is another tidbit of info.:

The same person who was acting as a "consultant"  in assisting Paragon acquire land for the various proposed communities is the same person  referred to in a totally separate article which is an absolute must read. Type in on google"   Grift of the gab"

Forward to everyone you know who bought in Paragon.  One more thing ; than go to www.amcostarica.com051605.htm

Adios amigos

  If they can get him in Bali , they can deal with Paragon once Paragon can be

properly investigated.
