Boris Mannsfeld & Associates review: scammed for U$50'000 22

Do you have more information besides... somebody told me? Could I get your lawyers name?

This complaint was obviously fabricated by albert loewen. My name is Boris Mannsfeld and am the one albert loewen (via Laura ALmighty) filed this unethical complaint against.
Here are the facts:
1. i or my firm have never worked with such a client name laura Almighty
2. We have never worked with a buyer of a lot where deal fell through as complained by this person. Only reason ANY of our deals have fallen through is because buyer could not produce all the funds.
3. There are no lots for sale in the village for $50, 000. Price are MUCH MUCH higher here. Shows that this complaint is dishonest.
4. albert loewen DID try to buy a beach lot next to his house where he has been illegally encroaching on. ALbert ended up losing the lot purchase to another local person and got upset. So he tried to spread rumors and filed complaints that the fortunate buyer did something illegal. In the mean time albert loewen was trying to buy the same lot from the fortunate buyer for a little more. The deal feel through and albert loewen got upset.
5. albert went so far and flew the original owner down from the US/Canada and tried to con her into filing complaints against the person that she sold the lot to. He also tried to con the old lady (in her late 80s) to sing over title to him. Albert used his Mennonite religion to show he was a person that could be trusted. She ended up not falling for his con and sent him a lengthy email that I am about to publish that lays out what really took place and that it was ALbert loewen's arrogance that caught up with him. ALbert went so far and ended up filing a lien (illegally) on the title because she did not pay him for the airfare.
6. ALbert Loween has also been trying to pick up additional land next to his house. He illegally placed a mennonite school there without approval from the absentee foreign owner. Now he has filed squatter rights to the property when the owner told him he is not interested in selling it.
7. As one can see albert loewen is a very unethical jealous person.
8. Not only did I build up the local Real estate firm Boris Mannsfeld & Associates (firm the complaint is against) into the areas most prominent, respected and successful firm but i also recently started a concrete company. Albert Loewen USED to have a monopoly on all the local concrete. He was the only firm around. I just broke into the market because so many people were complaining about albert loewen's dishonest billing, poor quality, arrogant attitude and severely unethical practices. I know this because I too am a major local developer who has hired albert over the years to build for me (albert is a local contractor). Matter in fact he is currenlty building a multimillion dollar building for me right now! Believe it or not!? So no more work for albert from me. ALbert is obviously VERY VERY resentful that I have opened up a concrete business so he is trying all he can to hose me.
9. My real estate firm recently was awarded the Best Real Estate Agent in the Caribbean at the 19th annual Caribbean World Awards!
10. I started the local volunteer fire department many years ago by donaing the funds for equipment, I volunteered as a local fire fighter, I became a volunteer Police Office in Belize to put my life on the line as a member of an emergency response team, I am breaking ground and funding a philanthropic trauma center for the region, i sponsor the full tuition for the local schools physical education teacher and do much much for thecommunity here in Belize.
11. ALbert loewen, on the other hand does nothing for the community and continues to just cheat people cheat on his taxes, abuse his employees, over bill clients and just cheat and lie while hiding behind his mennonite religius tarp.

I challenge the person who filed this complaint (Supposed Laura Almighty) to provide ANY evidence, even one speck, proving that I or my firm or colleagues represented her as a buyer of real estate in Placencia, Belize.

I Am hereby requesting from this website to investigate the authenticity of this complaint and have it removed right away. I will be filing litigation against albert loewen now.

Please find attached the email between ALBERT LOEWEN and the old lady that he tried to cheat out of her property as I described above and as is the basis for this supposed complaint. You make your own decision about this complaint and the character of ALBERT LOEWEN.

So is "Laura Almighty" really Albert Loewen? I notice "Laura" hasn't responded to my request for more information, or "her" lawyers name.

This guy is a total fraud and is as unethical as they come. I tried to buy a lot from him and we agreed on a price that wa posted in a promotional piece at hi "hotel" for $150, 000. I have a signed contract for that amount, and about a month later he decided it was worth more and told me the price was $200, 000. I told him I was going to report his practices to the real estate commission, which I did. He should lose his license.. I also have a recorded conversation of him telling me to write him a check to him personally for the land, bot his company.. Also unethical. I have the cancelled check. tgo show the real estate commission. Avoid purchasing anything from Boris Mannsfeld...

This is Boris Mannsfeld and the above complaint is a complete scam. JiG1963 is actually jim gallo (James Gallo) from castle rock colorado. He is an aggressive big-tempered dishonest pharmaceutical sales rep. He wanted to puchase a lot for 150, 000 that was listed for 200, 000. He tried to use his used car salesman aggressive sales tactics to get a deal. As a broker for the seller I told him the price was $200, 000 and take it or leave it since we had sold many of the lots for $200, 000 and even one recently for $205, 000 so there was not need to to give a $50, 000 discount. He eventually signed 2 different purchase contracts for #200, 0000. One was for the original lot #16 and then he decided he wanted lot #7 instead so we issued a second contract at $200, 000 that he also signed. There was never a purchase contract signed by the seller for $150, 000. IF there is one as Jim gall claim then I use would enjoy seeing it. To this day he has yet to produce it. When it came time to pay the earnest money of $25, 000 and prepaid closing fees of $1, 500 he started delaying. We informed him that not only was the earnest money due but the closing date was quickly approaching. He eventually issue me a check for $5, 000 which covered $1, 500 in closing costs and only $3, 500 in earnest money. Since i was in Denver and the property and brokerage company was in Belize he issued me a personal check which I cashed in denver and then brought the funds to Belize which were then deposited in the escrow account and $1, 500 was paid to thee3rd party closing firm. Issuing a check to the Belize Brokerage firm would have taken months to clear. Now Jim gallo kept delaying and delaying closing the deal to the point where the contract was expired. Maybe jim did not have the money that he kept stating was in his ira account. We gave jim many many opportunities to close the deal. After at lest 3 MONTHS after the initial $200, 000 contract was signed on April 21, 2015 we informed Jim that if he did not make final payment that he would lose his earnest money. Off course Jim got upset and started threatening me with going to the real estate board and suing me. He copied his supposed attorney on his emails and when I informed her that Jim had left threatening voice mails on my phone ("i know where you live" and "you better lock your doors and windows") and I informed her of the reality of the situation with copy soft the sign $200k purchase agreement her email to me was this" Please be advised that i do not represent Mr. Gallo in any matter related to you or any real estate transactions" This was from Jansen Legal P.C in Denver. So jim never filed his threatening lawsuit. I have any irate voice recording and texts from Mr gallo cursing and in an out of control state demanding I pay him back his $5, 000 even thought contract that he signed clearly stated that his earned money and pre-paid closing costs were not refundable if the contract is not followed which he did not do by missing the closing date indent paying the full $25, 000 earnest money deposit. Mr. Gallo also went so far to call a very respected international business contact of mine in Denver and telling him that I frauded him of $20, 000 (does not even match the $5, 000 check) and that the was login to do everything he can to ruin me. Mr Jim gallo (legal name according to website is James Gallo) is just a disgruntled, irate, unprofessional used car salesman and bully who throws a fit like a little baby and does not accept responsibility for his own actions. I really can not believe he sells pharmaceuticals and his employer should be aware of the way he behaves. He sells extremely expensive pharmaceuticals l according to what tells me ( he even chuckled when he described to me how the insurance companies really can't stand him because he forces these very expensive drugs onto his clients and then makes the insurance companies pay the bill). SO he gets these pharmaceutical contracts signed yet he can not even follow his own purchase contract for a basic real estate transaction and then threatens innocent people when things onto go in his favor. So this is the truth. I will be posting a copy of the $200, 000 purchase price contract with mr gallo signature if this website allows me to do so. Both contracts were uploaded. The police was also called to my home last week due to the threatening voice messages and phone calls frp mr. gallo. A slander lawsuit is also in the works. My real estate firm is the most professional brokerage firm in the Placencia Belize area and we win award after award and have hundreds of very happy clients. I was also a volunteer Police officer in Belize running an emergency response team and put my life on the line voluntarily to assist those in need. I also helped start the volunteer fire department and continue to fund various philanthropic programs for people who are less fortunate. I work very hard to help peopel and mr. jim gallo on the other hand is just another used car sales who lies and threatens to get his way even when he is 100% wrong. He basically attempted to black mail me by telling me that i either pay him back his $5, 000 or else he was login to go all over the internet and slander me. Now we have a black mailing high-priced pharmacceutical sales rep who does not honor contracts that he sigend and who threatens innocent people to bed lock their doors and windows. Pretty pathetic.

Here is email correspondence between Jim Gallo and Boris Mannsfeld. Jim makes reference to the purchase of lot 17 which the fully signed purchase contract stated a price of $200, 000. He actually signed a purchase contract for $200, 000 for lot 16 AND then signed another contract for $200, 000 for lot 17! so TWO contracts for $200, 000 and ZERO contracts for $150, 000 as he claims. Jim just never paid the full earnest money and decided to not follow the signed contract and close the deal so he lost his $5, 000 partial payment.

Boris,

Thanks again for your time the other day. I am very excited about becoming part of the community. Like we discussed, if you decide not to use Lot 17 for the future Wellness Center, I would like you to change the paper for me to purchase Lot 17. When do you think you will make that decision? I plan to get the earnest money funds set up and transferred to you no later than Monday, April 27th, 2015. Please give me a call if you make that decision. I will call you as soon as the transfer takes place to confirm your company received the funds. If you have any questions for me, I can be reached at [protected]. Have a great weekend!

Regards,

Jim Gallo

And here is MORE emil correspondence where Jim Glalo clearly understands the purchase price is $200, 000 and he states " I'm in. The contract for the land is on the way to your office and I will have the earnest money to you by next Friday." And he states he will get me the $25, 000 earnest money deposit even though he ended up only paying $5, 000 after many emails back and forth. My opinions is that Jim did not make his sales quotas as a pharmaceutical sales rep so did not get a bonus so could not pay for the property.

Boris,

Sounds like you are having a great time in Belize. When do you get back to Denver? As a follow up to our last conversation, I received the contract and it looks fine. I signed it and mailed the original copy to your office in Denver. Like I mentioned, I will need until Monday, April 20th to get you the $25, 000 earnest money deposit. I'd be happy to meet with you when you get back to deliver the check. Just let me know.

Hi Jim.
Here is an updated contract. Rg will not sell any lots below full price. Demand and market are doing too well and all prices are moving up due to cruise line, airpot and now the just released news from Dicaprio. See Attachment. Owner of one of the rg lots was considering selling their lot. We had a buyer and submitted an offer at full price at $205, 000. Owner decided to not sell even after i suggested to him to list it at $225, 000. So no need to sell a lot at $150, 000. I would enjoy having you as a neighbor at RG.

Boris,

All I have to say is you are unprofessional and unethical, and have to explain your behavior. I am not the person who has multiple fraudelent claims against my behavior, and I am not a real estate broker. Good luck with the Colorado Real Estate Commission investigation into your transaction and behavior.

This is a ridiculous email trail that Boris Mannsfeld posted about me. It is unprofessional, and shows you the slanderous tactics he will use to attack potential clients. I also don't appreciate personal contact information being posted here. I already own land in Belize before I met Mr Mannsfeld, and it has increased in value. I would be careful in your dealing with him.

Jim Gallo form castle rock continues to try and justify his dishonesty and scam. Jim to this day has not produced a single copy of a fully signed purchase agreement where seller and buyer agree to $150, 000. Yet we have several fully signed purchase agreements at $200, 000. Yes..there was originally a draft contract for $150k yet the price was $200K and the seller was not budging on the price since all other lots already sold for $200K so the agreement that finally got signed by BOTH parties was $200K (jim tried really hard to use his aggressive sales BS to get a better deal yet it did not work). Jim Gallo is a aggressive pharmaceutical sales rep who thinks he is smooth and persuasive yet is far form it and unfortunatley believes his own lies - a sign of a true perpetual liar! He simply did not have th money to close the transaction and after many closing date extension the seller finally said enough was enough and gave a final deadline and then when jim did not pay the seller canceled the deal according to the Purchase agreement stipulations and the earnest money went to the seller with approximatley $1, 000 going to the broker to cover expresses according tot the rules set forth in the contract that Jim Gallo signed. I never agree dot return his deposit as Jim state above. It is not my right to give this back. It is up to the seller and the rules set forth in the contract. ANOTHER LIE from a perpetual liar! Why would I contuse to contact Jim Gallo? What a loser and liar! The police did contact jim several times when Jim calle me on ht ephod and harassed and threatened me and told me on the phone that he knows where i lived and that I have children and that I better keep my doors locked! Now this creap sells pharmaceuticals and lives on Vermillion Court, in castle pines colorado. what a nut job!

ONCE AGAIN JIM GALLO CAN NOT PRODUCE A SIGNED CONTRACT FOR $150K. Boris mansfeld, however, has posted on this website a sign contract for $200, 000!
JIM GALLO is a scammr and just tried to use this website as a threat to ger me to break the law and go against a signed legally binding contract. FRAUDSTER!

Here is the meal where JIM GALLO states he dos not have the money! And this is for a $200, 000 contract. If he did not sign and agree to a $200k deal then why would he state that he is trying to get the money together. HE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY!

$200K signed contract - i had to eliminate some pages because file was too large too upload.

signed $200k agreement

signature page $200k agreement

JIM GALLO Out of castle rock colorado is a liar and fraud and trying to back mail people.

Boris Mannsfeld has continued to contact and harass me to take down my complaint here I will not do that until i receive my $5, 000 deposit that he told me he would return. I have texts from him stating that he would return the deposit. What kind of reputable real estate broker slanders someone the way that he does in this string of emails? Let me make you aware that my complaint was not the first one against his behavior. Even people who own homes in Roberts Grove area ( the hotel he is supposed a partner in) have warned me and others directly to not do business with him. This is the way he treats people. He does not have a license to sell real estate in the US, because he would not get away with this type of bullying behavior. He even chose to post my address on here, which shows what kind of [censor] he really is. He has been told by the police (whom he contacted) to not continue to contact me and he still does that. I will post an email with his continued threats and harassment i received in September. Stop calling me a liar and a fraud, and I really hope these complaints have impacted your business. I only wanted my deposit returned like you said you would.

Dear Jim,
You continue to lie. You did not complete the purchase agreement even after many extensions so you forfeited your earnest money (not all of it because you never paid all of it!). So move on jim gallos. I am a licensed agent in colorado and have been for over 20 years. You threats of suing me, complaining to the real estate board and physically threatening my young children are such bullying tactics that are simply pathetic. It was I who called the police on you when you threatened the life of my young kids. Go get some help.

Boris Mannsfeld is owe us money and refuses to pay. Be very careful when dealing with this guy.
