An amount of GBP10,000 was invested with the company besomeplaceelse, London - Christmas 2005. This was for land (2 units) purchased in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil. The idea was to build houses, an hotel with supporting services - almost on the beach.
The Government changed their Environmental Minister and new regulations were introduced, but because the initial planning was too dense, naturally this was turned down. I`m aware that the planning up to that stage cost a lot of money, but since then Ben Mason has sent e-mails giving new hope each time, but nothing, after all this time has moved forward.
The lastest e-mail was at the beginning March 2015 indicating Ben Mason was meeting with the architects yet again, after which a construction permit would be issued. A report from Ben Mason/architects was expected beginning July 2015, according to the London office.
This is simply, in my opinion, another attempt at more b*******.
I`m not interested and want my money back - after almost 10 years, but I am unable even to contact the London office. Telephone not being answered and the message is "Number unavailable". My e-mails to Ben Mason have been returned, as the address seems no longer valid.
He wrote a report about a wedding at the Belize Ocean Club (website) on September 8 2015, so the guy is still alive!
In my opinion, all these reports/e-mails just delay this project to such an extent, that I cannot believe it`s for real.
The lack of contact is not how genuine business/project managers behave.
I want my GBP10,000 back and I want it back now!
