Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Lucky you, I'm still at work so there's no chance. Glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks that most of what is written in the Goa press is rubbish

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

It is either rubbish or I am having early senior moments :rofl:
I was only teasing about the 'noffi - drying out now until October. :sneaky::sneaky:

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Have written to Keith Vaz we can but hope for some help also we can write to [email protected] the more we hassle them the better.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Sent a little something to Keith Vaz the other day, he is not my MP but it can't do any harm, I did get an sutomatic reply form his office so I know it got through. I have just e-mailed David Miliband and directed him to this discussion forum, as you say the more we hassle the better.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Tried the Dave Miliband angle, it bounces you back to another link: [email protected]. I've just mailed him there, will keep you posted..

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Quiet right mine had bouced back as well so I have re routed it. It will be interesting to see if we get any reply.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Hi all,

Lets keep this press momentum going, remember " YOUR PROPERTY NEEDS YOU:thumbsup:" The FCO office email for Miliband is the best one to aim for him.

Also worth goan for ( sorry) is ; [email protected]

And I have sent an email to Jeremy Vine Radio 2 on; [email protected]

So whoever has been affected by this GreatGoan property con :curse: now is the chance to at least gain some real media exposure to this dire situation,don't just sit there and think its all over !:thumbdown: We can if we put our minds to it at least EXPOSE the guilty !!!!

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

I have watched the property market develop over the years in Goa and i can perfectly understand why people want to retire to Goa.As for Congress, well its always been associated with corruption. W***y D,S**** ( Cant use names directly)a leading Light , was the one who built the horrible box bridge in Bagga.He is also part owner of The calypso Night Club in Bagga and The West End Club in Porverim.All the evidence points to a land grab by vested interests.They are using the newspapers to whip up public opinion and pseudo political parties to give them legitimacy in the public eye.If what i have read is true regarding FEMA on this forum then i would advise, what the Americans call a class action, against these vested interests by going to the High Court In Mumbai as a group, not as individuals.For one thing its cheaper and the second one is it will tie them up in litigation too.Most of those involved will shy away because they know they cannot manipulate the High Court In Mumbai, as they have manipulated the Goan newspapers, but more importantly they will have to bear some of the costs if they decide to fight the judgements handed down if they go against them, which on the evidence i think will.Their motives are pure greed and greed diminishes if it reduced by over heads to lawyers !Get together as group, hold a general meeting and get your self a descent lawyer.Try the one that Fiona McKeowan used, he seems to very upright and not the usual bag of nasty tricks out for the money.Not all Indians are corrupt and not all Goans are too.From what i have picked up from the online press in the letters pages, quite a number of Goans are fed up to the teeth with self serving politicians who just want to line their pockets or their relatives with other peoples money.Do it as a group and i think you will find a deep well of sympathy with your lot from the ordinary Goan people.To clarify matters i have never owned property in Goa. I have always rented so i have no vested interests at all in what happens. I am just concerned at the injustice of whats
happening to you.Go to the courts as a group though and watch them back off.Good luck.:thumbsup:

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Well I am surprised I have had a reply:

Dear Ms ***,

Thank you for contacting the Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP. Mr Vaz has asked me to reply on his behalf. He will raise these issues with the High Commissioner in London, when they next meet.

With best wishes,

Kim Mandeng
Office of the Rt. Hon. Keith Vaz MP
Tel: 020 7219 4605
Fax: 020 7219 3922

I wonder If thet read all the messages posted on this thread?

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

I had exactly the same reply today. Hope there's enough of us to make a good case.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

:thumbsup:Just checked our mail and we have one too. Lets hope we get some feedback from him as to the end result of his discussions.
Heard a rumuor that the Russian Consulate in Goa had written a letter of complaint to the Goan Government. Must stress it is only a rumour!!:eek:

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Hi All,

I have also received this standard message but it was headed to a Ms P****w !:blink: presume that is one of us? as I am not a Ms (not since the last time I looked anyway:eek:)

Anyway we must email on:thumbsup: ! Anyone done Jeremy Vine radio2 yet ?

Kan-conned

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

Yes just sent him one.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

We have had the same reply but asked for our full name and address.

No way :thumbdown: said not when under investigation they might get us....:ohmy:

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
 

:thumbsup:Got home tonight and found a letter from our MP and it was personnaly signed!:ohmy: We are impressed at the rapid response since we only mailed him on Monday via WriteToThem (posted previously). He expresses concern at our situation (well they always do don't they) and confirms that he has written to David Miliband to raise the points that we brought to his attention and ask what steps can be taken BY THE GOVERNMENT to resolve our concerns. He assures us he will be in touch when he has a reply. So watch this space (but don't hold your collective breaths). Nevertheless we must keep up the pressure.
We have written to Mr. Vine and await a response. Keep the faith, we may yet turn this around - even if its only to get our money back (not what we really want but hey).
Regards to all, we may yet be sharing one of these, beer:
