Dear Dean

I think I will reply to this thread before it gets out of hand and highlight the ethos that I am comming from and possibly the ethos that Diana is also on, either way I reply from my perspective.


Since Amanda Lamb came on TV and said romania is the best place for investment this place has been inundated with new found experts who are only out to exploit investors by professing that they have knowledge and experience on the Romanian market when they do not and blatantly lie about these facts to the detriment of investors.

From my perspective if someone will lie about this what else will they lie about, and I think a perfect example of this can be highlighted in what has been done to investors in Greenfields and Sydney!

There are also other bad examples being offered to foreigners on the internet by people professing to be experts and have experience.

Every person has the right to disclosure be it in law or business and if someone is professing to be something they are not do people not have the right to know this or more importantly to check out who they are dealing with?

My advice to anyone doing anything in business is check out who you are dealing with?


Start with a google search on the company on both the uk or Ireland and the country you are dealing in.


Then do a company records search of the company you are dealing with to give you idea as to date of incorporation accounts last filed etc etc.

Do a search for forums like this and see what people are saying about object or agent.

The reality is a lot of agents rely on deception to exploit investors, investors have the right to know as often it is people who are in their autuminal years or those seeking to support an ailing pension or endowment policy.

These people could be your son, mother or brother, alternatively they are someone elses.


Forums such as this have a very high educational value for the benefit of investors and a lot of agents hate them due to it putting a serious spanner in their works. I do nt think anyone reading this forum will be decieved into paying a well known foreign agent 355,000 for a house in Bucharest that we cannot get 169,000 for the same house in the same development when it was bought for over 200,000 2 years ago.
