Sue (Susan) Villegas REMAX Town & Country Alpharetta, Treehouse Property Group Stole funds from myself and a group of investors I helped find Atlanta, Alpharetta GA

Susan (Sue) Villegas is a scam artist. She seems to be a nice person and legitimate but that's part of what brings people into the scam I suppose. She is a realtor for REMAX Town & Country Alpharetta and one of the people impacted by her fraud, which is described below, told me that she also ripped that person off on a real estate deal. We are also reaching out to REMAX on a national and local business to try to find answers.

However, her "business" Treehouse Property Group is definitely a complete scam. It is advertised by her publicly and without the ability to legally seek investor funds (not SEC approved and not following their regulations) as a company that "work[s] with investors to buy Distressed, Probate, Rental and Homes [sic] to Rehab!"

However, it is either outright theft or a Ponzi scheme. Because she came to me for more than $500,000 to get started and I haven't seen a dime nor have I seen any of the properties she supposedly purchased with her partners. The worst is that she ended up getting about $950,000 because I believed in her and helped lead an investment round through my own business contacts.

Perhaps it's a Ponzi scheme and I just gave her too much and she hasn't been able to get it back from more recent investors, but perhaps it's just outright theft, but there are definitely no properties or business operations of any kind. Except for renting out properties that she doesn't even own outright, using AirBnb to try to make money from them and I am sure this gives her some income for daily expenses but at what cost?

The cost of complete loss to the investors who bought the properties for her and have seen nothing. Some are even in Mexico (the country) and it is almost impossible to recover anything because of the way that third world country works. I'm sure she will end up running there when she's finally found out by everyone and the authorities.

She has stopped responding to me in any way. I can't believe people could do this to people they've known for years and who trusted them, and I feel worse because I know and have given my reference to new people that she's scamming as I write this. Someone must stop this woman, who is using other people's money for her own life and gain with no business responsibility and this is outright fraud, theft, and securities violations.

Victims, "friends", authorities please feel free to reach out to me at justiceforsusan@protonmail.com, I am looking for ways to shut this woman down immediately, yes I want my money back but more than that I want to make sure she doesn't harm innocent people anymore. I have a family and children and she promised a return within just a few months and now we are struggling and on government assistance because she took us for everything. BEWARE!
