Yes, Mr Ali Yaba - please give me back the money you owe me.:
:
You, your lies and your greed have destroyed my life, my career and my family.
You made a lot of money at my expense - £100K up front in 2003 enabled you to buy cheap land in Uzumlu and helped you to start up your business with your partners. You made me wait for over 3 years before parming me off with an overpriced apartment - because I was a "friend and not a customer" - your words not mine. You have refused to give me the tapu so I have had no alternative but to take court action. Yes, I should have known better than to have trusted the likes of you. Yes, I was stupid but you misled me with your outrageous lies - deception in the first degree. I was not the first and I doubt I will be the last - your performance was far too "polished". Like all good con men you "hook" your victim with promises of friendship, help and trust - all lies of course - and as soon as you win their trust you "reel" them in. The part with their cash and you let them go. Easy - just like fishing. This practise may be considered acceptable in Turkey and it appears to be condoned by the majority of the ex-pats living there, however here in the UK there are laws to stop people like you. I know you want me to go away and I will just as soon as you give me what you owe me. Please feel free to contact my lawyer with any reasonable offer.
Mr Scunner you mention that you do not know this man, but you may know him by sight and not name. In 2006 and 2007 he was at the Place in the Sun exhibition at the Excel centre in London. No he did not have a stand there - he just paraded around with his laptop and Robin Hood leaflets, and could usually be found propping up the bar whilst trying to poach interested buyers from exhibitors who had paid good money for their stands. I was surprised he was not thrown out by security. If I had paid for a stand only to find him muscling in I would not have been too happy.
Regarding the TAB story - I had known him 2 years before I parted with the money. I happened to walk into his restaurant in Hisaronu clutching a Hanel Houses brochure and the rest was history. The article mentions a "showdown" in the restaurant - well I can assure you that incident did not take place because I am not a confrontational person. I could not afford to be in my job as an occupational welfare officer for a Whitehall government department - perhaps that is why I was so patient and understanding - a good quality in some cases but a weakness when dealing with people like him.
I know some members of this forum probably think I deserved what happened but I did no wrong - for God's sake I did not go there looking for trouble I holiday with my mother who is 86. This man lied to me and made me feel sorry for him - he was getting divorced and his wife had stopped him from seeing his son. As a single parent I could empathise with that and I felt sorry for him - my ex husband did not keep in touch with his kids and here was this man desperately trying to see his son. I was Taken in Hook, Line and Sinker.
