Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!

Hi,

I've recently successfully taken another group to court, but took them as individuals rather than the company. If this company, like mine, was bogus, you can't get your money back even if you...

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!

But "Foreign Inward Remittance"? I am told this means sent from country of origin to your, or your company's, account, before being paid to the builders, rather than paying them direct. However, I...

Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR DIAMONDS IN GOA

Sorry, you're missing my point. The fact that people are getting higher insurance valuations doesn't mean they are buying jewellery in India that is worth more. If you buy a ring in UK and get it...

Re: FEMA

Hi Jane,

Thanks for your message. I'd rather communicate privately about this. Can you send me an email? I think you can send privately on this, but not sure how to do it!

Cheers,

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!

Thanks for info. I'll try it with my bank first, as the builders have already paid the money in. I assume they'll tell me to return it to the builders and let them try, as they can show the money...

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!

Hi Folks,

We are among the "lucky ones" who managed to pull out of the purchase in time, and have now had a refund from our builders. However, it's in Rupees and in a bank in Margao.
