PMC ESTATES MIKE JAITLEY AKA RAKESH SHARMA SCAM ESTATE AGENCY, PLS AVOID AT ALL COSTS, THESE GUYS ARE SCAM ARTISTS AND MIKE JAITLEY AKA RAKESH SHARMA IS A FRAUD 35 Lower Cookham, Maidenhead, Berkshire, United Kingdom

I was duped of the sum of 2,000 by PMC Estates, owned and managed by a Mr Mike Jaitley AKA Rakesh Sharma on 17th July 2009. This payment was for the short term lease of Flat 135 Nell Gwynn House, Sloane Avenue, London SW3 (2 weeks rent @ 750pw and 500 security deposit). PMC Estates invoiced me for the total sum and requested payment into their business account with Natwest UK.I made payment as requested into the bank account of PMC Estates that same afternoon and they in return confirmed to me that arrangements were being put in place to prepare the flat for my client's arrival the next day.

However, later that evening an employee of PMC estates advised me that the booking could not be fulfilled because apparently, they didnt have the approval of the landlady to let the flat, and he referred me to Mr Mike Jaitley aka Rakesh Sharma for resolution. Mr Sharma in the meantime had apparently taken a rather convenient weekend trip to France and remained incommunicado the whole weekend. He assured me that he would refund the money when he returned from his trip and told me he would call me on Monday 20th July. Since then he has avoided my attempts to contact him and has failed to refund the money inspite of several assurances that he would.

In the meantime, in an effort to create a smokescreen and a diversion, he went and reported a seemingly bogus claim to the Thames Valley police claiming that a disgruntled employee had sabotaged their office systems and their bank accounts, and that this was what was causing the delay in paying the money, but he has since disappeared and has not kept to any of the deadlines he was issued to repay the 2,000, nor did he ever get in contact with me regarding the money. I took PMC Estates and Mr Mike Jaitley AKA Rakesh Sharma to court and the court issued a judgement in my favour, but apparently the bailiffs were unable to recover any monies as it seems the company was a scam to begin with and they have no assets to speak of.

The office address in Maidenhead is unattended and letters sent there have been returned unclaimed, and it seems the office in Norfolk Place Paddington is also now unattended. I am now seeking other ways to recover my 2,000, but in the meantime, please be warned. Have no dealings whatsoever with this company PMC Estates or this person who goes by 2 names, Mike Jaitley or Rakesh Sharma or anyone else who purports to work for him or is otherwise associated with him. He is an extremely duplicitous and fraudulent person who will take you for as much money as he can get off you and then disappear. It seems their website pmcestates.co.uk which was fully functional a few months ago has now been taken down.
