Geoffrey Leonard / Tropical Pavilion PT Global Solutions Con artist INTERNET
We traveled all the way to Bali, Indonesia, to meet with what we were lead to believe was a British-educated engineer and owner of a prefab building company whom we had sent plans to for a cost quotation. Geoffrey had convinced us to travel to Bali to meet with him at his factory. What we discovered after meeting with Geoffrey Leonard of Tropical Pavilion was that he was a total liar and fake.
I had my architect with me who asked Geoffrey some basic questions about building, methodology, etc. Geoffrey's answers lead us to believe that he was not being 100% straight with us. He stuttered allot and got quite nervous in our meeting. He also could not provide references for us to check out.
We left the meeting feeling like we were duped. We had two weeks in Bali and spent the time looking into other companies. We discovered via this process that Geoffrey was in fact a total fake and liar - not even an engineer!! The more we probed into his company and past, the more we found out.
We called him to make another appointment to meet with him to confront him with what we found out. In this meeting he got irate and threw us out of his office, threatening to have us killed!! We went to the police who did nothing.
We met with a French company who had sued Geoffrey for copywrite and who told us more information and also gave us the names and info. for others who had problems with Geoffrey.
We met with a man who had worked with Geoffrey and told us that he was very unstable, that he was into drugs, and was basically a dishonest businessman.
Then we learned of a woman named Leslie on Kauai whom Geoffrey had ripped off, not returning her deposit and not finishing her house he had started.
We then phoned a man who used to work with Geoffrey who said that he was a low-class, degenerate alcoholic and heavy drug user. (We had our local driver ask one of Geoffrey's staff about some of these allegations, and his office worker happily confirmed our worst nightmare, all true)!
So we had a wasted trip that cost us about $3500.00 and all for nothing. He ripped us off and misrepresented himself and his company. Never, ever use his company!

If you're going to pretend to post as more than one person, it is wise to log off of your account before changing identities.

I was just called by an associate and made aware of this slandering report about me.
Firstly I do not know of anyone called Martin from Hilo, Hawaii so whoever is the real author behind this please state your real name and address.
I have been in the building trade for a number of years and have a degree in civil engineering- would be happy to show the author of this report my University certificate and provide a list of post-graduates who can verify this fact.
And as far as being "a low-class, degenerate alcoholic and heavy drug user" - well I think whoever wrote this report may have a real chip on his shoulder...
As for "He also could not provide references for us to check out" .

I will also be filing a lawsuit against the individual(s) who submitted this report, if at least he/she can provide me and my attorneys with a real name and address.
I am a legitimate businessman and and am 100% confident with the products and services that Tropical Pavilion have to offer.

I was shocked to see this slandering report regarding tropical pavilion and Geoffrey leonard.
I have been doing business with tropical pavilion for over 5 years as a partner based in Australia and without there constant back- up, support and excellent customer service and communication skills my business would not be where it is today.
Geoffrey leonard is a professional, well educated, honest businessman and all contracts that I have entered in on with him have been fulfilled.
Tropicalpavilion offer very high class wooden pavilion and prefab structures and I would recommend them to any client and be happy to give a reference.
