Rob,I am an old investor who has invested over many years.I have never invested in recent property scams within the past 5 years or earlier.So I would not have experience in buying from overseas developers or promoters that have recently been hit in R.G N.Sorry to repeat myself with this,but maybe this will clarify some points.Also,when people put a deposit or large sums of money on pre launches I would be right in saying that if a company/companies go down it would OFTEN be difficult to retreive your money.From what I have read online their are many people that have lost 1,000ssss.That is common sense.You do not need to be a market genius to work that out!So no you were not being rude.
