Read The Turkish Forums See The Massive Fraud

Is Turkey this proud Islamic Republic ashamed of this is it against their honor and main religion? It would seem not as they have do nothing i n the last decade to help

Below is a very pertinent quote from the thousands of posts in Turkish forums highlighting the extent of this problem

"I would not have wasted, what amounts now to at least the cost of another property! my health, all the stress & not least my loss of faith in most of the people I've me along the way 

I think, when a person first realizes they're in serious ****e, it's impossible to take in the enormity of the problem & most people that have invested (huh!) are hard working, honest people, used to a system that protects them against the dishonest elements in society. They are therefore, so very easy to convince that 'their little problem' can easily be sorted, they are like innocent lambs to the slaughter, trusting that they are in safe hands  It's unthinkable that you just walk away from what in most cases they have worked for all their lives, they have a fighting spirit, Justice....... Will be on Your side, you just cannot imagine that it wouldn't be!!! You have a contract! you have receipts! And, of course all the leeches encourage you to take Action! ............... 

This System allows, no, encourages the further fleecing of their victims, they sicken me, these people are (almost) worse than the crooks who by their greed, dishonesty & total absence of any morals or integrity created the problem in the first place  Despicable filthy Vultures feeding off the corpse of a victim...... But don't they have lovely smiley faces................ 

Really glad to hear  that you got the PP to absolve you guys personally from the liabilty of any futher fines. I hope that sometime in the not too distant future some sort of amnesty could be granted for those like yourself, who have been duped & cheated by the Majority of Turkish Property Developers"

We Hope the author of this very accurate post does no mind us quoting it but it emphases the depth of this Turkish Ripoff and the lacking of the legal representation that gives an image of this being legalised theft from first developers then legal representatives It just happened to often to be anything other than a problem needing government intervention

Either this government intervenes or the people have to call upon international aid as often Turkey does forget the EU this is a sin on United Nations Scale

Or should we Just Conclude Fraud is Endemic In Turkey?

Investment

Even after sending money and being tempted into a large scale investment from a associate Turkish citizen by chasing good money after bad to try and fund the completion of what ended up being seven villas.Most cash was sent via bank transfer and after being advised to ask for it back through the courts as promises contracts and personal assurances were broken over a three year period The recipient of over £300,000 has "nothing now2 Apart from driving a top of the range BMW and being what seems to be common local knowledge the builder of a very substantial new project.The foreign investor can not touch him as he has "nothing" In the eyes of the state.
So where did the £300,000 go was there any tax paid how did seven villas get built and then transferred into other parties names and how is the latest development being funded nobody seems to care it is out of control.
Now the Turkish government has opened the gates to even more countries we know this has happened already to multiple nationalities and indigenous Turkish the system is flawed and there is no one auditing this.

Holiday Home Purchase

After paying cash to the builder of £36000 as a one off Off plan investment this party relocated to Turkey watched his apartment being built and was close to the builder.After it was finished the builder even rented it for him and gave him a return but all the time the landowner had the Tapu and the council was changing the rules Even after a period of three years while waiting for the habitation and getting rental income from a tenant the purchaser expected to transfer the deed to his name No it was eventually taken by the landowner in respect of council incurred debts that all seemed to be the responsibility of the builder even though all the Tapus remained in the landowners name no time control just an open ended mess that resulted in the apartment being lost What happened to tax paid to the government for KDV etc
How can this happen after so long where is ant audit trail and of course where is the morality?
All those things questioned but another £36000 gone.

Company Involvement Eastern Fraud

Becoming a director of a company is a legal process and was undertaken by a few.Then you would of thought an honest culture could be achieved but the opposite.The director becomes totally liable and unable helpless to stop Turkish transferring assets from the company so customers are left with nothing but a foreign director to attack.No solicitors appear capable of performing an audit to take to court and ask how and why assets are moved and where the funds go.
A "once it is done "mentality means that the fraudsters are encouraged to strip every asset out of the reach of rightful owners and it seems under the nose of ineffectual local and national government controls.
It is just obvious fraud and avoidance of liability and responsibility
Systematic removal of funds and assets out of the reach of any legal process seems to be the norm and the legal "profession" prices out any actions but will still take funds knowing the lengthy and ineffectual processes.
There seems to be no audit trail tax control or any legality to prevent this obvious public and continuous practice.
The crooks here are laughing in the face of any actions as they just need to hold their hands up and say I have nothing you can not touch me.
Directors of a Turkish Company Investment £260,000 All money and assets lost

Where has all the money and assets gone?

Individuals

A couple purchased a duplex paid the builder on a sales agreement prepared by a solicitor made bank transfers to the company who had a landowner agreement and never received the title deeds that it was entitled too.So the ones to suffer were the foreign party that received no title deed and paid in full £68,000.
Again the local council did not assist as it would give no habitation as it changed its policies to be in line with guidelines that it did not stipulate to the building company at the outset.
Incompetence mal practice and outright corruption have resulted in no return for £68,000.

Business Purchase

A self employed couple came to Turkey to invest Contracts were done to highlight a mutually beneficial transaction The bulk of the monies were paid but only a fraction of the land and buildings were transferred.
The principal UK resident took the issues to the local court and lost where the facts were obvious and on appeal in The high court the delay was overturned in favor of the honest foreign party In the interim the offending party was allowed to reorganize so after the highest court in Turkey awarded considerable compensation he laughs at his country and its laws as he now says he can not pay 6 years in the Turkish courts a victory and massive expense but not one penny of the £120,000 returned.
