Both victim and perpetrator have a lot in common… one is looking for a super bargain too good to be true, while the other runs a get-rich-quick scheme providing the sought after unreal bargains!
Indeed, some of the victims are so impressed at how fast and how well they are done for, that they later set up real estate agencies themselves!
The hand fits the glove perfectly…

Dear Janet
The usual smears and innuendos and generalisations from GR to support his own crack-pot theories, or is he suggesting that any such people who may have been conned and then going in to property business are themselves crooked? If so who and and on what basis?
GR- give us some facts, or wind your neck in, bonny lad!
Do NOT be put off by those who want this thread shut down. There is a small group of self appointed people with agendas of their own, some of whom are racist, and who think they own the Forum, and who do not like to get real to the fact that there are few rotten apples who are sadly souring the whole barrel that is Cyprus, which is a shame as it has lot going for it, including most of the people. Like everywhere there are bad people, sadly including devious estate agents, crooked developers, and most disgraceful of all, the crooked lawyers who betray the people they are both ethically and legally bound to protect, when they accept them as a customer, but while also secretly working for the developer/vendor, in clear breach of law society rules.
They, above all, deserve looking up!
However rather than tackle the underlying problems of crooked estate agents, developers and lawyers, and a government lacking the will to deal with the problems, with a judicial system that is arguably unfit for purpose, all of which, even probably unintentionally, is more to the benefit of the crooks, not the victims, and which sadly tarnishes the reputation of the whole of the Island, they try to censor debate.
At worst they try to denigrate the victims and indeed this post by GR is a classic of the genre. You know when it gets to this stage you have got someone worried.
However do be careful how you tread as at least one property developer has resorted to violence, and if that were happen your earlier conduct may be used against you to get charges reduced in seriousness and/or small sentences handed out.
Any way best of luck: there are lot of people rooting for you and other victims of property scams and threads like this will keep coming until the Powers that be take action and deal with the crooks.
Just don't let the bastards grind you down.
