I had the misfortune of crossing paths with Thomas Papa in August of 1993. My son was 6 weeks old. My husband and I were tickled pink with the prospect of being new homeowners. We found a property in Saratoga, it was a "foreclosure". Tom led us on like no one's business. Being very young, very naive, very trusting, very excited to make a home for our new family, we found ourselves in a NIGHTMARE. There never was a home, never was a foreclosure, it was all a bunch of lies, coersion, disgusting lies.
We found out after several close calls of "moving in" to our beautiful home. We were told we were so close, that the house was sure to "close". We took out credit cards and started to shop for our new home. We were going to use the equity in the new home to pay off the credit cards for the new furniture, new everything. Turns out Thomas Papa LOVES THE PONIES at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. It was here that he gambled other peoples monies that were supposed to be protected by the escrow account. Thomas was in bed with the escrow company, they got their cut, released the rest to Tom and off to the track he went.
Thomas was hopeful to win so that the could pay back Peter to rob Paul. Thomas Papa is a disgusting, sick individual. I went to court and gave a witness impact statement. We ended up having to file bankruptcy which was devastating as a young new family. This caused a horrible riff within our marriage, ultimately divorcing as we couldn't get past the trauma Thomas Papa instilled. I would like to know WHERE IS MY MONEY? Where is the restitution? I have not seen ONE RED CENT FROM THIS LOSER. PAY UP! Contact me at [email protected] for inquiries, statements, payment coupons, paypal, venmo. I had hoped that part of this goons parole was that he not be allowed, EVER, to work in real estate, mortgage, escrow.
Clearly the courts played volleyball and someone spiked the ball for the other team. Fix it now! I also was compelled to voice my story with hopes that when an individual sees THOMAS PAPA that they RUN, RUN AS FAST AS THEY CAN.

Straightshooter,
My posts were not overly verbose and do have substance because it is truth. You have formed your opinion from the limited information you have read. My claims are legitimate. I need prove nothing to you. My posts are for the other victims of Thomas Papa. You obviously have some vested interest in him. Many people have been hurt by his actions or shall I say non-actions. That is why he is locked up in a Santa Clara correction facility.
As far as using my internet time more wisely, no. You should ask yourself that question. This doesn't pertain to you.

After reading "Robert in San Ramon" who posted multiple and overly verbose reports that are just venting and not of any real substance, I am left with one question. Did it ever dawn on you to utilize your internet time a little more wisely? The only salient statement you made is that you failed to do your due diligence.

That explains why he hasn't contacted me since last week. The first number you gave me didn't work. The second number didn't have a fraud division. There was a consumer help line. When I called your number it seemed to be a fax line. This man needs to pay for what he has done. He is a liar and a maggot. My error was to allow other to do the due diligence. My gut told me the deal was too good to be true. I should've made sure escrow was involved. The only ones who aren't hurt by this man's phony deals are the people who didn't have money invested and the attorneys. I need proof that he has been incarcerated. If what you are saying is true then justice is starting to prevail. It's just odd that the last conversation I had with Tom, he said we were hours away from getting paid then he goes MIA. This whole experience has been so messed up that for all I know, you could be Tom telling more lies while you skip town. I hope thats not the case. Please contact me so I can contact the fraud division myself. I would like the lead investigator's name and direct number.

Dear Robert, I am asking if you got your money back cause he tapped me the same way for $45,000.00 and many others for over $470,000.00 from known costumers that Tom has been in contact with, and got contracts with. Tom Was arrested last Thursday June 7th, 2012 by Santa Clara Police detectives on felony charges related to his so called lending business and is being held on $2 Million Dollar Bond. You can call 408-808-3707 or 408-299-7400 and ask for the Fraud Unit to get help. The Fraud unit has contacted me and have stated that there is an ongoing exhaustive investigation going on to see if any further criminal activity has transpired in order to file more criminal charges against Thomas Papa. I have been told that I will be asked for statements under oath inorder to present my claim against Thomas Papa and you should and anyone else on the face of this earth who has been scammed by the one Thomas Papa you should know that we are abanding together to get our claims in to the DA's office. I was introduced to Thomas Papa by Stanley Sanchez with Brookside International and Danielle Valertiz Chapman with Bustrade Development, I was selling a 8440 acre lease for Wevco, and Stanley Sanchez contacted me wanting to purchase the Oil lease from my seller. Stanley ranted on about all his multi million dollar contracts that he had put together and that he was going to enter in a contract to purchase my oil lease from me for $3.1 million dollars. So I signed Sanchez/Valertiz with Brookside International/ Bustrade Development; in a purchase agreement to sell the oil lease. After that Sanchez never came up with funds, but asked me to do it for him and his company Medalists, introduced me to Thomas Papa, and the scam begins, from there. Sanchez has left me high and dry, Oh but I got emails from him stating that he wants to make it right, but he refuses to contact me for settlement and or to pay back the money he borrowed at my bank($45K) and signed the note, but refused to pay back the deposit he borrowed from me. Also Sanchez hired me to consult him on all matters relating to the oil development project, and sent me $38,000 for 38 days of work, but after I worked for Sanchez the checks came back insufficient funds. The District Attorney has the checks and My attorney is presently suing Stanley Sanchez and Danielle Chapman for their involvement with me in this matter. They have refused any contact, that what guilty people usually do when they scam you. We are planning to financially bring this three ring circus to an end once and for all. I have pleaded with them on several emails but they will not respond, so I am suing them at this time. My attorney is completing the Judgement Against Papa in court also. Then we are after Sanchez and Brookside International and Bustrade Development for relictance to honour their contractual promise to me also. I am willing to bet that Stan comes out of his hole over this report to state his side, but all my comments will be backed up by court domuments as needed. Call the District Attorney if you have a valid claim and you will get help. David 580-532-6473

Just a heads up.
THOMAS RANDY PAPA aka TOM PAPA or THOMAS R PAPA. Has a few different numbers and emails and corporations. [email protected] is thie current email. The phone number he uses for MTJJ of California, LLC is 408-487-3215. If you google the number, it will come up Cobalt Group. Strange how a company thats been around for 10 years was only incorporated in 2010. Also strange how MTJJ's phone is listed as the Cobalt Group.
In case anyone is looking to serve him, I found the following addresses on line. Btw, had to look hard but I found them . One is 798 Daffodil Way, San Jose, CA 95117 which could be the home address and the business address is 1250 Oakmead Pkwy Ste 210 Sunnyvale, CA 94085.
Tom says hes been in the same place for 10 years. I wonder if he means the state prison in Tuolumne County?
Just a heads up and keep posting to put this guy where he belongs!!

So according to the posting, ww125, matt 42 and HC have not received the money back yet. How about Robert from San Ramom, Justice, 911 borker and TH55? It dosen't matter the deal did not go through. The point is Tom did not return the money which the the victims paid for deposit. Tom, you should be put away. No more victims hopefully.

Thomas Papa contacted my business partner and has told him that the money would fund by Thursday. I am confident that the reason for the prior delays was the personal tragedies that Tom has suffered in the past few months. My business partner is traveling with Tom tomorrow to finalize the deal. I am hopeful that business will be wrapped up this week.

Since I do know who You are now, check your company starting tomorrow. I can lie like you. Gave you a month to post anything. Must of forgot since have never done a Miami hotel in history.
