Update

Cold comfort I know - but some comfort at least - have learned I am not the only recipient of such a 'professional' service (and thus I am not a lone idiot in falling for the 'you can trust me, my reputation and my safe client account'). I have learned of another European who has had a similar exper...

For Big Boy

Thank you, Big Boy. I was beginning to get worried that people were not receiving them and thus assuming that I had ignored all of their messages to me. But to be sure, anyone who is awaiting a response and hasn't received one, do let me know and I will try again. PET - thanks for the advice, but wh...

To all who have PM'd me

Hi all, many many thanks for the helpful and supportive comments. However, many of you have PM'd me, and I have replied to all messages. Some it appears have gone - as they are shown in my sent box. There are, however, a further five replies that do not appear to have gone anywhere - and I found the...

For Lomuarmart

Thanks for the clarification, Lomuarmart. I think I have complied appropriately.

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine there - still waiting for 'summer' here! Will someone please go and have a leg massage for me, then tell me how it was. I do miss those!

Thanks

My thanks to all of you. Many have PM'd with advice, and I am grateful. One message told me that whilst I cannot post/name/shame on the main forum - reasons for which I totally understand - I can however do so in a private message. When I foolishly handed POA to this lawyer, with an agreement that h...

Lev

Lev, I thank you for your comments, but I sincerely hope that you will not pull this post. I have not named or shamed - and you will note that I have gone to great lengths not to do so. But this is a very real situation for me, and whilst seeking any support from HHAD forum members, I also hope that...

Lung Per - thank you, but the answer to your question regarding whether he is still there - sadly, yes - with a large number of fernag clients - with so few knowing what he has done. I would, if I could, totally expose him, not just to make myself feel better, but to duly warn all others there who I...

Yes, Pete, I have kept it. But again, how do I prove it was him? He signed it: "You know who am I." Thanks for your support, and I am glad that you too saw it as a threat to me. Not a response you woul expect from someone who truly felt remorse or guilt for spending that money - my money. ...

Malcolm-I-M - I have a range of documentation, some of it via said lawyer directly, albeit most of it via the purchaser's side and those there in HH who have already tried to assist. I do have sufficient however - I believe - to show that his actions have been nothing short of totally dishonest. I a...

My thanks - Pete (Prcsscct). I know what you mean about 'what you would like to do'. I have been there in my mind several times - and that is coming from a very mild and tolerant person I assure you. I just need to find a cheap way to try and get the money out of him, and if that fails, a safe way t...

Spitfire - how correct - and thanks for tactfully saying: "What a prat!" It would just restore a little bit of my faith in human nature if I could find just one honest person there who wasn't out to 'scam-a-ferang', and who could actually assist. Whilst I am trying to keep light of it, the...

Need to find an honest lawyer

Having spent some time in HH, naively trusting too many people as it has turned out, in particular a lawyer there - I now am in need of advice/recommendation. I returned to UK (for medical reasons - ongoing, and as such cannot travel back there) and left POA with a HH lawyer whom I thought I could t...
