First cash first served; fuera ghosts

It is more fun criticizing

We were planning to buy a parcel of land to add to the project.  The first one was aborted because there were news that the neighborhood would object.  How nice would the little pc of land be to the project.  We informed the agent of the plan and even had a written communication to that effect (we just concluded a multimillion deal)

The project is a memorial project 

However an up and coming millionaire pulled one over us paid in cash.  The property would be made a warehouse for their beauty (soap products).   How the deal turned out smacks of lack of professionalism and lack of integrity on the part of people whom we talk

Let not the smell of dead carcass be on their beauty products or the troubled souls play in their warehouse.

Scams abound: on line even on high level business and even govt transactions

It is more fun criticizing

There were several times when this post was nearly scammed, for huge amount:

1.   One agent, and this was 3 decades ago, using beautiful ladies as bait tried to sell me a large portion 
a property for a measly sum in Las Pinas, Had it checked by our GE it turned out to be BF Homes Las Pinas.  How could he?  He is the father of a schoolmate from BI, Pasig

2.  The more recent one involved a large tract of land in the farthest end of this province.  He is the uncle of an acquaintance who was selling a 20 hectare foreshore land that abuts the municipal market.   The deal being proposed, is we give P10m to the foundation.   Now there were certain things we discovered:

     1.  The property was not adjacent to the municipal market.  There is a gap of 5 hectares between
          the market and the property
    2.  The property is currently being cultivated by a group of farmers cooperative, one of his members
         was a pamangkin
    3.  There is a tenant planting melon whose lease gave him the right of first refusal
    4.  The property was subject to an EJ, and no relation can be established between the property 
          and the foundation

3.  Another involves a 10 hectare in a mountain village allegedly a commission granted to the father of the owner.  He is sabungero.  If we could give the broker P10m, then we can start possessing the property But 
we found out

    1, There is no right of way to the property;
    2.  Somebody had CTS with the owner
    3.  Somebody paid for RPT tax before and he had certainly lien on the property

These are tiny compared to the IMBD scam involving  $4.5 whose main participant were Johny Low, and fmr. Prime Minister Rajiv,

Scammers multiply and let us be wary of them
