I can't believe it has come down to this. 


I initially contacted Rick Saul about purchasing REO properties in Houston in March of 2009. At that time Dan Doyle and Rick Saul appeared daily on a radio show discussing their real estate deals on KDOW 1220. 

Dan initially requested a $20k deposit for 4 properties, and I am glad that I had the common sense to argue him down to trying to get 1 property for $5k. Otherwise I would be down $20k today instead of $5k. 

Up until I wired the money over to Dan Doyle and his Investment Real Estate Network in Hawaii, Dan and Rick would call me multiple times a day trying to get me to wire the money in and talking up all their real estate deals. They said they had a great property in Houston for me and I was suckered in and eventually in April 2009 wired the money over. 

The phone calls stopped. I called and found out the deal had fallen through but that they'd get me another deal. Four more deals in Texas fell through as we went from one broker to the next. It became clear to me that Dan had no concrete plan for purchasing and renovating REOs. He simply made low ball offers through local real estate agents and then contacted a contractor (probably from the phone directory) to fix up the place. He had no real contacts of his own and the work he was doing was nothing that I couldn't do myself with a phone and phone book. 

I began demanding my money back and he countered that I could have it back anytime. The bluff worked and I stayed on board hoping for another deal for another few months. Finally I got fed up and began demanding my money back. At this time I found his office phone number had been disconnected. His website had been taken down. His cell phone number is all I have now.

I believe he is now operating out of Arizona and involved in the foreclosure markets in California and Arizona. I still get emails from Rick Saul about foreclosure auctions in AZ. Dan never returns my calls. 

As others have mentioned before, Dan has an uncanny ability to tell lies. He has an excuse and a story for everything. And when you finally figure him out, he stops returning your calls. 

It has been an extremely frustrating year for me dealing with Dan Doyle and his schemes. I first read about Dan Doyle's schemes on ripoffreport.com a month ago but held out in hopes that for some reason he would return my money, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to contact him. 

I am looking into getting a lawyer to pursue Dan Doyle. There has to be something we can do to get at least some of our money back from this crook. I will contact KDOW 1220 because I can't believe they left a fraud like Dan Doyle on the radio in the first place. It's largely based on the reputation of KDOW 1220 that I believed Dan Doyle was a legitimate real estate broker. But I know the truth now, radio shows are no safer than the internet. 

I'd like to work with others who have posted on ripoffreport.com to bring a lawsuit or case or maybe just a hammer to Dan's head. Whatever it takes to get our money back.

Rick Saul is a crook even if you put a nice You-Tube Video together

AUTHOR: Rob - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Nice try Rick,
All the comments on here are exactly right and you and Dan both need to be in prison.  Instead, you're running around with a new baby.  I appreciate the comments about what a terrible family you are and what a crook you are and what a liar you're girlfriend is and what a disaster your child will be given the fact that you are the father.  You can take your "Turkey Crossing" down.  The only Turkey's crossing are you and your colleague Dan, your lying girlfriend and your little baby who is an innocent casualty of your life choices.  I hope to be there the day you and Dan get thrown in jail.  I don't even care about getting my money back, but I'll consider my debt paid in full once you guys are behind bars for a long time!  You better keep running, or that baby of yours is going to be without a father very soon.  

And why you feel the need to pollute a forum of good people discussing what lying sacks of s**t you and Dan are is beyond me.  Stay off the Rip-off Report and just keep running and hope your day in court comes after you've at least spent some time with that new baby of yours.

Glanters only reports unrelated faceless lies and slander

"It takes an evil enemy and a cowardly friend to hurt your heart with slander, one to face you, the other to raise the dagger to your back."


"Glanter's", I don't feel I need to run your name and family through the mud, although it is very tempting. You have no actual complaint or "rip-off to report". In fact Mr. S has not worked with the above mentioned company or people for over 2 years now.


You do have a cold dark heart with malice intent, please seek council or anger management, better yet don't steal from your "friends" homes and smile to their face. Hopefully your new employer doesn't need their house cleaned and has everything bolted down. But, enough of that.


To other's that have unfortunately stumbled upon this faceless slander, take a look at this video of two lovely and amazing parents and reach your own opinion. A video is worth a million words.

Steve,

I filed the claim against Investment Real Estate Network and Dan Doyle as co-defendants.  I filed in Alameda small claims court (my claim is only $6,000).  I served Dan and IRN in Hawaii.  I used a company called(((Redacted))), they were very helpful.  Look them up on the net.

sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!

Seen this guy around town

AUTHOR: glanters - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, April 05, 2010

As of today, this guy Rick Saul and his girl friend Marlo Whitney and baby are hanging around in south Orange County at his sisters and mothers house in San Clemente CA. Sister is Nicole Saul and mother is Marilyn Saul. Can't be sure if they have a car or its a family members but saw them driving a white late 90's model a few weeks ago possibly a Buick. 



Both of them bad news con artists and are known for it around town. Went out with them and one night they say they live in Anahiem at a relatives house on Lemon I think and then bounce between there and San Clemente. Also stay with friends and have ditched the friends in the middle of the night for no reason.


Its obvious they are on the lamb and run all over the United States. Losing their circle of friends because things don't add up. They are big hikers and campers and known for that in HI. She is from Vermont and Massachussetts. They have spent time on the east coast with her relatives in Maine and Charleston SC.



I heard Rick takes off and runs from Anaheim and San Clemente leaving her to cover when they think cops are getting close. He said he just got back from Arizona doing some pre owned home investments and brokering and was talking about leaving again with the girl and baby in the next few weeks. Hard to tell what is the truth. They both keep lying but some others heard he did get back in town from Arizona.



They are both known to make up stories on how they live a big lifestyle traveling because he is a Real Estate Investor or Broker and have a rental home in HI. She says she is a hair dresser or cosmetologist. 



We all noticed Rick keeps changing his appearance. Sometimes he is bald, goatee, color of hair changes. If that isn't a sign. He is tall around 6' 4" lean. She is tall and thin and can't be trusted either. My friend has talked to her and verified she is just as big a liar as Rick. We looked up their names online and found this tonight and are not surprised. Makes sense now that we look back. 



Found out through a friend that he lost his Real Estate license years ago. Also big druggies. Not sure what they were on but they were spaced out especially Rick. Don't want to hang out with them.



Everybody concerned they keep dragging around their baby to avoid getting caught but they deserve jail time based on what is popping up on here. Scam artists for sure. That poor kid doesn't stand a chance with parents like them. 



Good luck with your search. Maybe this info will help you.

Who was served?

AUTHOR: Steve - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, April 05, 2010

Who did you serve in your small court claim in Alameda? I'm not sure who to file the claim against in California.


I have already filed a complaint with the Hawaii Real Estate Commission (hawaii.gov/dcca/online) and the Hawaii DA. Also I have been advised to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Comission (ftc.gov)

Could you tell me who you served in California so that I can proceed with my small claims case against Dan?

Thanks

Same here

AUTHOR: ewd - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, March 13, 2010

I had a almost the exact same experience.  From the radio station to the lies about returning my money.  I've taken legal action and I was recently awarded a judgment. I will immediately start filing liens on anything I can get my hands on.  Doyle will probably go to jail soon, so if you take legal action, do it soon.  Check out the link below.

Rip off artist: Dan Doyle of The Investment RE Network & Southwest Realty Investors

AUTHOR: Zman, SFO - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 02, 2010

I am too a victim of Dan Doyle's. In Nov 2008, I heard a radio show on SFO's KNEW, a reputable radio station in the Bay Area and decided to put a deposit down on a property in Mississippi. The project was canceled in March of 2009. And, I've been trying to get my $19K back since then.
He had tons of excuses and had been very apologetic. He sent me a check in Oct of 09 and it bounced. Now, he doesn't return my calls any more.
I am in the process of bringing him to court. Let me know if anyone wants to join me.

Nevermind Dan's check bounced

AUTHOR: Steve - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, February 28, 2010

Nevermind, Dan's check just bounced. The bank reported it had settled when I made this report, but then came back a few days later and said it bounced. The bank said they tried to retrieve the funds twice and failed both times due to insufficient funds in the Dan's bank account. I'm working on getting a judgement against him
