Venturis International Coral Reef Brazil The Coral Lake And Beach Resort Payments taken from a number of Individuals for land plots in Brazil and pocketed by company marketing plots. Malaga Internet
Contacted last year by a company called Venturis regarding a land investment in Brazil called Coral Reef, now known as The Coral Lake and Beach Resort. Unfortunately the name of the resort keeps changing to try and re-brand it as something new so the scams can continue.
Venturis was run by three individuals, Neil Plowman, Reg Winters and Sam Rodgers.
On conducting Due Dilligence everything seemed fine. Unfortunately a guy called Dereck Keith in the UK backed Venturis to the hilt suggesting it was a safe investment however as an afterthought his involvement in questionable.
I am representing a number of clients who were ripped off by these individuals, where money was paid for plots of land at the development but was stolen by the marketing company and never ended up where it should have been.
The money ended up in accounts in Gibraltar and Cyprus.
The company Venturis was cleared out suddenly one night leaving the employees a mess to come to in the morning. The whole situation was a total scam designed to rip off people that were trying to invest for their futures.
The sums involved range from GBP 35,000 to beyond GBP 50,000 per investor. The promises made included various guarantees that you could get your money back, and that the plots would increase in value etc etc.
There was absolutely no information of any kind passed back to investors as to what had happened.
Even the lawyers that Venturis used were duped as false information was released supposedly from the lawyers. This was posted on the web site that needless to say no longer exists.
Sam Rodgers who sometimes uses other names, is still trying to sell plots at this development under a new company with a new facade. Neil Plowman is trying to hide somewhere presumably waiting until the wind has blown over and there is no sign of Reg Winters.
It has taken a long time to build an accurate picture here but some of the ex-employees have been very helpful in piecing together what an actual scam this is.
There is also a thread regarding all this on Bustathief.com. If you visit the site and put in Venturis in the search you will see a lot of comments from all sides.
We want to expose the individuals concerned with this scam as they are nothing but thieves at thee end of the day.
If anyone is uncertain who they are dealing with we have some photos of the individuals so there is no doubt as to who they are regardless of what names of aliases they decide to use.
These guys hang about on Costa Del Crime in Spain as they are unregulated in what they do and think they are beyond the Law.

What a load of rubbish. these two individuals still live on the Costa del Sol and can be found in calahonda. They operated this scam from a villa in marbella. the villa plots were a scam from day one and all of your hard earned depoists have now been stolen and hidden in gibraltar. Neil plowman has interpol chasing him for money laundering and fraud. So lets keep in touch and find these thiefs.

There has been a great deal of speculation and many adverse comments on certain forums in recent months regarding the legitimacy of the above mentioned project. Many of these derogatory articles and comments confuse the ownership and marketing rights of the legal owners, with those of Venturis International who had previously marketed a part of this land as Coral Beach Resort.
Due to the nature of a forum ANYONE can comment on ANYTHING without the need for hard facts or proof. Conjecture and opinion drives the forums and unfortunately some less than content investors are often incited by anonymous loose cannons in the form of disgruntled employees and competitor agents/developers.
Some of these Anonymous Members feel the need to fuel the fires of contempt in order to discredit legitimate companies who have superior products. we also point out that you should read the terms and conditions of this forum.
The Land was purchased by the current owner, directly from the former owner of the land which, for your interest was not Venturis or anyone associated with them.
We entered into working partnerships with award winning architects in Brasil who came up with the conceptual and architectural designs for the project.
We and our partners boast an excellent international reputation, as do our Lawyers, who are one of the leading law companies in Brazil.
If anyone would like to know more about us and the project, please visit our website for the facts:
Total freehold ownership of the development
Full access roads to the development are legal
Planning permissions are in place
Semace reports are up to date
Environmental report by independent 3rd parties
Payments are made directly to the owner of the land
