ADAM COHEN LOOKS LIKE A TAG TEAM BOTH ADAM AND IVAN COHEN ARE WORKING TOGETHER?? PARKLAND FLORIDA

Where there is smoke, there's fire.

There are too many different people reporting Adam Cohen as a scam artist, which he really is.

He scammed me out of $1000 for an apartment in Miami Beach which he did not deliver, due to a murder that took place in the building... Still trying to figure out how these two are related...?

He gives a lot of excuses, but let it be clear, he will never pay, but he will always lie. Whatever happens NEVER give your money to him!!!

Only thing you can do is file police charges to get him in Jail. Then go to small claims court to get your money back.

Don't feel bad for him at all. Let the legal system do its work. it may take a while, but it will get done.

Post on IC3, Consumer affairs, ROR, US Marshals site, etc, etc. to get the word out and warn future victims.

Adam Cohen also 'owes' me $15,000. My tale is somewhat similar to many others. I've gone on for a year now keeping my situation off this site out of respect for Adam as he was seemingly attempting to return my money. I can't even begin to list all the 'reasons' as to why I still haven't received it (the last of which came a couple days ago that now a short sale deal he was closing in which I'd be paid with the proceeds has now fell through, BUT it's being sold to another party so I'll still be paid just having to wait a little longer....). I have given Mr. Cohen 1 year to produce my funds and I still haven't seen a dime. I even offered to accept a payment plan. Here's a summary of what happened:

Adam Cohen represented through Woodlands International that he was AUTHORIZED TO ACT AS AUCTION & ESCROW AGENT to sell a property 485-487 South 18th Street, Newark NJ on behave of the 1st mortgage lienholder Gelt Financial. His company was to accept the highest bid and subsequently act as 'escrow agent' and forward the earnest deposit funds to Gelt Financial upon their acceptance of my short payoff offer.

At the time, I ran title on the property and thought it was odd that Woodlands International and Adam Cohen had title to the property, but Adam advised me that Gelt put his name on title because they were in the midst of a legal battle with the existing owner who was in default over a break-in issue at the property and this was part of the manner in which they resolved the issue.

This appeared strange to me, but I accepted it as the truth and so we met up at Starbuck's on Route 4 in Paramus NJ (a midpoint between where I live and where he lived in Manhattan) on March 18, 2008 (a year ago tomorrow) where we signed an offering memordum contract and I gave Adam an earnest money deposit check for $15,000 (in which he gave me a signed receipt on his letterhead). The agreement was that he'd only deposit the funds upon the acceptance of the short payoff offer and forward the funds to Gelt Financial. He deposited the funds 2 days later and after about a week of delays I was advised that Gelt 'accepted my offer.'

We then drew up a sales contract, which I signed same day, and it was presented to Gelt for their signature. To make a long story shorter, after about 2 months of 'reasons' as to why Gelt couldn't sign the finalized contract I grew increasingly more suspicious and I had my attorney cancel our seemingly fake deal and requested the return our earnest money deposit. Nearly 9 months later, I am still awaiting the return of this money, despite numerous requests by both my attorney and I.

Meanwhile, NJ state law mandates that earnest money deposits in a real estate transaction be placed in an attorney or escow agent trust account and be refunded immediately upon cancellation of contracts.

What's more, I spoke to the folks at Gelt Financial months back and they told me that Adam always owned the property from the beginning, there was no 'other owner,' there was no 'legal battle,' Adam was the individual who was being foreclosed upon, and he WAS NEVER AUTHORIZED TO ACT AS AGENT TO DISPOSE OF THE PROPERTY.

I grew even more suspicious (obviously) when stories began popping up on this site, but I continued to respect Mr. Cohen's privacy and kept my personal experience under wraps until now.

In summary, Mr. Cohen's is guilty of THEFT BY DECEPTION and I am in the process of filing both CIVIL AND CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS. From what I understand theft by deception is now being treated as a pretty serious offense and often mandates jail time.

I hope for Adam's sake he returns my money soon so he stays out of jail.

I cannot believe your up to your old crap! Blaming others for you ripping them off. To the lady who gave her money to Adam "run" don't walk to your local prosecuters office and tell them your story. Everything that Gail has [posted on this site is 100% correct in regards to Adam! He is a con artist who still owes Mr. Orielly over 7500. U S Dollars. Because he fraudulantley leased out a apartment to 6 very young girls who were thrown out in the street by the sheriffs department. The only reason he was not prosecuted is because he hid like a little RAT up in New York before running to Florida. ADAM WHERE IS Mr. Oriellys MONEY!!!!
And who ever is involved with him do not take a check or let him or his "attorney" wire money into your account. Because it will never get there!

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CHECK OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS INSTEAD NEXT TIME BEFORE CALLING THEM THIEVES.

Mrs. Gayl Berkov of Nanaimo, British Columbia is a very sick and twisted woman and my sympathies to all who know her.

Mrs. Berkov's actions have to be considered OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Although I have vowed never to respond to this website ever again, this very sick and twisted women has gone too far. Once again I have broken no laws and although Mrs. Berkov is attempting to manipulate people and apparently successfully is now attacking my family, please read the following very carefully and be sure to take note:

With respect to the apartments advertised in Century Village on eBay and Craigslist, my father, Ivan Cohen is the legal owner and the registered deed holder of multiple units in this complex and such information is a matter of public record and is absolutely verifiable. There is no law that prevents you from selling your own property.

Maria Poretsky of Parkland Florida did contact me through an add posted on Craigslist with respect to the apartments advertised. My father and I met her together during her inspection of the property. I did meet with Mrs. Poretsky several times after this occasion, and on each occasion Mrs. Poretsky was accompanied by her husband Steven Poretsky.

On January 12, 2009 both Mr. And Mrs. Poretsky signed a contract (Florida State approved) between my father Ivan Cohen and themselves to purchase a Century Village Condo and tendered a down payment in the sum of $4,500. Prior to the Poretsky's signing we had offered to provide Seller Financing that they would not have to make this an all cash transaction, they rejected this offer and stated categorically they would purchase this ALL CASH.

The terms of the contract provided the sale should close on or before March 12, 2009 and that the Seller to provide some repairs and improvements to the property with the Purchaser, the Poretsky's to have the right to inspect the property one week prior to closing.

Additionally, the Poretsky's requested that they may purchase some used furniture that was stored in other units and this was agreed to by Ivan Cohen and I offered to take them around the other units thus affording them the opportunity to procure what was on offer. Prior to this appointment to preview some used furniture Mrs. Poretsky telephoned me to state that she had searched my information on Google and found the Rip Off Report posting by Mrs. Berkov. We discussed the matter and I was able to satisfy her there were no grounds for concern.

The Poretsky's did meet with me to see the available furniture but were not able to get into each unit so we re-scheduled for a further appointment to continue. Unfortunately, I was not able to make the second appointment at which time Mrs. Poretsky proclaimed I had ripped her off and wanted her money back.

With respect to repairs, the Poretsky's had only just submitted their application to the Condo Association which application is still pending with the management company and as the closing was not due until March 12 and we were still at this time in the mid to end of January, the scope of work and the time needed to complete not being more than 3-4 days, there was no urgency on our end to complete the repairs as the deadline to do so would have been around March 5.

On that note, as I said, my father, Ivan Cohen is the lawful and recorded owner of the property , the contract is still active and upon the management accepting their application will be serving notice on the Poretsky's to close.

As I have said, Mrs. Poretsky did request to cancel the contract and for the return of the down payment of $4,500, apparently her entire life savings, even though they contracted to ALL CASH PURCHASE. The right to rescission having expired, application to condo association still pending and allowing for reasonable time to commence the work prescribed (3-4 days of anticipated labour and with 7-weeks to complete) and the sole reason for breaching the contract being this posting by Gayl Berkov.

Our attorney was instructed to prepare a cancellation agreement but no fixed deadline was set for this, just a guideline. On Monday afternoon being February 2, I spoke with Mr. Poretsky and I confirmed that we were drawing up the cancellation agreement and would have amicable resolution. Later that day, without warning Mrs. Poretsky began with harassing and threatening phone calls to both my mother and father, violent and life threatening messages were recorded by both Mr. And Mrs Poretsky and Mrs. Poretsky's mother with references made to this site followed by Mrs. Poretsky threatening my mother that she would go to the police to report me for allegations of sexual assault unless she was given a price reduction.

THEY ARE USING EXTORTION TACTICS FOR PRICE REDUCTION OR FOR A REFUND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO RIGHT UNDER REAL ESTATE LAW AND UNDER THE CONTRACT THEY SIGNED WHICH IS THE STANDARD FLORIDA REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT.

Palm Beach Sheriff's Department have attended my parent's house multiple times over the past few days due to very serious threats of violence against them and against me, CRIME NUMBER 09-034632 and the District Attorney's Office are issuing a warrant for Mrs. Poretskys arrest and are treating this as a serious matter. Mrs. Poretsky would have already been arrested if she lived in the same county.

I feel sorry for the Poretsky's as they were fuelled by an obsessive woman whom is causing others to fight her battles by use of misinformation and who is abusing this site and publishing lies and misleading information.

Mrs. Berkov is not entitled to any money and I do not owe her any money. Both the Queens County Court and the NYPD have told her she has no claim. Mrs. Berkov cannot accept this fact and is pushing others to file criminal cases against me where there is no criminal act, DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HER!!!!!!

My father Ivan Cohen did try to speak to Mrs. Berkov to appeal to her how she has damaged his name and reputation by placing it on this site and her reaction is that everyone associated with me is a criminal. The woman is very sick.

Finally, to sum up, the Poretsky's have a valid contract to purchase a condo that is lawfully owned by my father and this has not changed, that they entered into this contract of free will, that all representation can and have been VERIFIED, that they waived the opportunity to have Seller financing and INSISTED ON PAYING ALL CASH and must close before March 12 or we will serve them notice of specific performance.

PLEASE NOTE: Rip Off Report is owned by ED MAGEDSON who is a convicted felon and is wanted by the Federal Government for extortion. Please further note that Mrs. Berkov's actions are OBSESSIVE and that I am pursuing charges of HARRASSMENT, STALKING AND EXTOTION against her and has been reported to the police whom have now referred the matter to the FBI who are investigating as to whether or not Mrs. Berkov is in collaboration with ED MAGEDSON in such EXTORTION. FBI CASE NUMBER I0901261434384502

Based on Mrs Berkov's actions, my father, is also reporting this matter to the FBI as his information, as have mine have now been published without trial or conviction for quite simply selling his own property and that he intends to file a damages lawsuit against Mrs. Berkov for $5,000,000 and a similar amount aginst Mr. And Mrs. Poretsky for doing likewise.

Any whom post false claim, tell lies or act in a menacing or threatening manner either towards me, or my family will be subject to criminal and civil scrutiny.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY MISLEADING AND FALSE INFORMATION ON THIS SITE, NO CIVIL OR CRIMINAL CASES HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST ME AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTS FOR MY ARREST UNLIKE CONVICTED FELON ED MAGEDSON, OWNER OF RIP OFF REPORT, MARIA PORETSKY FOR THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND HARRASSMENT AND SOON FEDERAL WARRANTS AGAINST MRS. BERKOV FOR STALKING, HARRASMENT, EXTORTION AND FOR COERSMENT.

DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES. MRS BERKOV IS ONLY THE BEARER OF INACCURATE AND FALSE INFORMATION AND DOES NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU ACT ON HER LIES.

CONSIDERING MRS BERKOV AND MRS PORETSKY BRAND ME A CRIMINAL AND NOW MY FATHER TOO, NOT TO MENTION HE IS 71 YEARS OLD AND IN POOR HEALTH WITH A WEAK HEART, THE ONLY WARRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED IS AGAINST THEM WITH MORE TO FOLLOW SO PLEASE REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU PLAN ON USING THEIR INFORMATION TO FILE FALSE OR INACCURATE CLAIMS.

Mrs. Gayl Berkov of Nanaimo, British Columbia is a very sick and twisted woman and my sympathies to all who know her.

Mrs. Berkov's actions have to be considered OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Although I have vowed never to respond to this website ever again, this very sick and twisted women has gone too far. Once again I have broken no laws and although Mrs. Berkov is attempting to manipulate people and apparently successfully is now attacking my family, please read the following very carefully and be sure to take note:

With respect to the apartments advertised in Century Village on eBay and Craigslist, my father, Ivan Cohen is the legal owner and the registered deed holder of multiple units in this complex and such information is a matter of public record and is absolutely verifiable. There is no law that prevents you from selling your own property.

Maria Poretsky of Parkland Florida did contact me through an add posted on Craigslist with respect to the apartments advertised. My father and I met her together during her inspection of the property. I did meet with Mrs. Poretsky several times after this occasion, and on each occasion Mrs. Poretsky was accompanied by her husband Steven Poretsky.

On January 12, 2009 both Mr. And Mrs. Poretsky signed a contract (Florida State approved) between my father Ivan Cohen and themselves to purchase a Century Village Condo and tendered a down payment in the sum of $4,500. Prior to the Poretsky's signing we had offered to provide Seller Financing that they would not have to make this an all cash transaction, they rejected this offer and stated categorically they would purchase this ALL CASH.

The terms of the contract provided the sale should close on or before March 12, 2009 and that the Seller to provide some repairs and improvements to the property with the Purchaser, the Poretsky's to have the right to inspect the property one week prior to closing.

Additionally, the Poretsky's requested that they may purchase some used furniture that was stored in other units and this was agreed to by Ivan Cohen and I offered to take them around the other units thus affording them the opportunity to procure what was on offer. Prior to this appointment to preview some used furniture Mrs. Poretsky telephoned me to state that she had searched my information on Google and found the Rip Off Report posting by Mrs. Berkov. We discussed the matter and I was able to satisfy her there were no grounds for concern.

The Poretsky's did meet with me to see the available furniture but were not able to get into each unit so we re-scheduled for a further appointment to continue. Unfortunately, I was not able to make the second appointment at which time Mrs. Poretsky proclaimed I had ripped her off and wanted her money back.

With respect to repairs, the Poretsky's had only just submitted their application to the Condo Association which application is still pending with the management company and as the closing was not due until March 12 and we were still at this time in the mid to end of January, the scope of work and the time needed to complete not being more than 3-4 days, there was no urgency on our end to complete the repairs as the deadline to do so would have been around March 5.

On that note, as I said, my father, Ivan Cohen is the lawful and recorded owner of the property , the contract is still active and upon the management accepting their application will be serving notice on the Poretsky's to close.

As I have said, Mrs. Poretsky did request to cancel the contract and for the return of the down payment of $4,500, apparently her entire life savings, even though they contracted to ALL CASH PURCHASE. The right to rescission having expired, application to condo association still pending and allowing for reasonable time to commence the work prescribed (3-4 days of anticipated labour and with 7-weeks to complete) and the sole reason for breaching the contract being this posting by Gayl Berkov.

Our attorney was instructed to prepare a cancellation agreement but no fixed deadline was set for this, just a guideline. On Monday afternoon being February 2, I spoke with Mr. Poretsky and I confirmed that we were drawing up the cancellation agreement and would have amicable resolution. Later that day, without warning Mrs. Poretsky began with harassing and threatening phone calls to both my mother and father, violent and life threatening messages were recorded by both Mr. And Mrs Poretsky and Mrs. Poretsky's mother with references made to this site followed by Mrs. Poretsky threatening my mother that she would go to the police to report me for allegations of sexual assault unless she was given a price reduction.

THEY ARE USING EXTORTION TACTICS FOR PRICE REDUCTION OR FOR A REFUND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO RIGHT UNDER REAL ESTATE LAW AND UNDER THE CONTRACT THEY SIGNED WHICH IS THE STANDARD FLORIDA REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT.

Palm Beach Sheriff's Department have attended my parent's house multiple times over the past few days due to very serious threats of violence against them and against me, CRIME NUMBER 09-034632 and the District Attorney's Office are issuing a warrant for Mrs. Poretskys arrest and are treating this as a serious matter. Mrs. Poretsky would have already been arrested if she lived in the same county.

I feel sorry for the Poretsky's as they were fuelled by an obsessive woman whom is causing others to fight her battles by use of misinformation and who is abusing this site and publishing lies and misleading information.

Mrs. Berkov is not entitled to any money and I do not owe her any money. Both the Queens County Court and the NYPD have told her she has no claim. Mrs. Berkov cannot accept this fact and is pushing others to file criminal cases against me where there is no criminal act, DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HER!!!!!!

My father Ivan Cohen did try to speak to Mrs. Berkov to appeal to her how she has damaged his name and reputation by placing it on this site and her reaction is that everyone associated with me is a criminal. The woman is very sick.

Finally, to sum up, the Poretsky's have a valid contract to purchase a condo that is lawfully owned by my father and this has not changed, that they entered into this contract of free will, that all representation can and have been VERIFIED, that they waived the opportunity to have Seller financing and INSISTED ON PAYING ALL CASH and must close before March 12 or we will serve them notice of specific performance.

PLEASE NOTE: Rip Off Report is owned by ED MAGEDSON who is a convicted felon and is wanted by the Federal Government for extortion. Please further note that Mrs. Berkov's actions are OBSESSIVE and that I am pursuing charges of HARRASSMENT, STALKING AND EXTOTION against her and has been reported to the police whom have now referred the matter to the FBI who are investigating as to whether or not Mrs. Berkov is in collaboration with ED MAGEDSON in such EXTORTION. FBI CASE NUMBER I0901261434384502

Based on Mrs Berkov's actions, my father, is also reporting this matter to the FBI as his information, as have mine have now been published without trial or conviction for quite simply selling his own property and that he intends to file a damages lawsuit against Mrs. Berkov for $5,000,000 and a similar amount aginst Mr. And Mrs. Poretsky for doing likewise.

Any whom post false claim, tell lies or act in a menacing or threatening manner either towards me, or my family will be subject to criminal and civil scrutiny.
