richard W. Lamoureaux landsalot land sale ripoff las Vegas, Nevada Internet

In 2003 I had 12 lots that I owned in Mohave County Arizona. I sold 8 of those lots in 2003 to 8 different peopleand kept the other 4. The lady in this report purchased one of the lots. In 2008 I sold what was the rest of the lots to a guy in Canada and that was the end of that. What happened was a mistake, the lot I sold the lady in the report was resold by error to the guy in Canada (this was because all the lots are side by sidewith similar lot numbersmade ina number one after the othersequence). The onlyreason this errorhappened was after the lady purchased the property from meshe never recorded the deed, the county saw my name on title and let the sale go in 2008, if she recorded the deed the error would of been noticed right away if her name was on title and not mine. The ownership on record was still in my name 5 years after she purchased. Once it was resold in 2008, its was not an issue until she recorded her deed in 2010, 7 years later. The recorders office contacted meand told me of the recording. I did not have any contact, (phone,email etc)information on her after so many years. so the county gave me her address and I wrote her a letter. She email me and was upset that the lot was sold again and accused me of fraud.I explained to her it would not of be done if she just recorded the deed in 2003. So to correct matters, I gave her a full refund andapologized even through it was her mistake and not mine,she in return gave me a signed quit claim deed to release her interest in the property to the buyer in Canada. The erroneous statement was filed to keep the correct chain of title. The statement gives notice that an error was made an not to be confused by another recording of the same property from the same owner. I never made anyintent to defraud her. It was her mistake not to record the deed and that is why we had an issue with this deal. She purchased this lot from me in 2003 for $1,589.00. I gave her a refund for $2,000.00. I have no bad feelings toward this lady but reporting this here is rediculous. She makes it sound like she was held up in a robbery and the bad guy got away. This is my side of the story and the truth of what happened.

Richard W. Lamoureaux

Richard Lamoureaux contacted me at the beginning of the week and apologized and though he was not willing to pay interest for the 7 years he held my money he did repay the amount I paid for the property, the property taxes, notary fees and postal fees. 

Note that to the county of Mohave Recorders office Mr. Lamoureaux claimed he "could not remember" selling the property to me and apparently retained no records to research the issue.
Mr. Lamoureaux held a Real Estate License from 1987 to 1991 and then a Real Estate Brokers license between 1990 and 1996, in Whiting Indiana, further evidence that he did not act under the veil of ignorance.

In addition to paying the purchase price I had to pay up the back taxes and pay a handling fee.
