Re: Has anyone purchased from Vallart Gardens? (by Sylva B.):

What everyone has said above is absolutely true. We have all gone through basically the same scam with just a few minor differences such as the property management company they are using.

Since you bought almost a year ago, I don't know what kind of recourse you have. My suggestion would be to print out all the scam information you can find online, from this Redweek Forum, to TUGGS, and anything else you can find to help prove to your credit card company that you were scammed. I also submitted information on VP Services, which is the property management company they gave me, that shows it is a questionable company & website...from their domain server and the hidden owner, to the year it says it was started and when it's about to expire (which usually is very shortly), etc.

I found out about the scam within a week after I returned home so I immediately filed a dispute with my credit card company, and won. I changed my credit card numbers and put blocks on any further charges they might put through. If you already paid in full, or are still paying a monthly mortgage, immediately stop the monthly payment and file a dispute with your cc company. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you other than consult with an international real estate attorney. Good luck and I'm very sorry to hear that you were also victimized by them.
