I have purchased 2 properties from Paragon Properties of Costa Rica located in Hollywood, FL. I purchased these properties almost 5 years ago and was told that the first property in Heights of Pacifica, Phase 3 would be ready for building within 18 months. I have a deed that shows that I could build a home for $58.00 a square foot. About 2 years ago I 2was sent this beautiful brochure showing all these beautiful homes. Since then I've made 3 trips to view my properties and everything is at a stand still. Most of the personnel that were with the company in Florida, namely Lyle Wexler and Kenny Gold are long departed for all kinds of ridiculous reasons and the few that are remaining are very evasive to any questions. The way I see it, I'm out $55, 000.00 and these con men could care less. For what its worth I think anyone and all who read this should ban together and file a class action suit freezing any and all their assets before they disappear. Feel free to contact me should you read this.
Dear Mr. Calcaterra,
We at Real Estate and Business Attorneys (RE&B Attorneys) would like to be able to assist you in your property purchase in Costa Rica.
Attached you will find some general guidelines for the acquisition of real estate in Costa Rica.
Regarding Paragon Properties, we have never closed on one of their properties, and we do not advise them. We have heard bad stories about them.

To all:
I think we should either go with Sarelson or Alvarez. Either way they are going to have to get a Costa Rican Attorney involved. I am hearing the new voice message they have and I have no idea who it is but it isn't Dave Valentine. As for Neustein, they're in hot water and they know it. I can be reached at [protected]. If you have questions feel free to call me. Leave a message if I don't answer because I work nights and sleep during the day. We need to band together and be rational. Panic and anger gets us nowhere.

To All:
I have retained a lawyer in Costa Rica. His name is Arturo Blanco. US: [protected]
I didn't go with Alvarez because of his fees. Arturo is very reasonable and is well abreast of the Paragon situation. Feel free to contact me at lionize@comcast.net.
I'd be very careful how you say things. I know your angry like everyone else in this debacle but saying the wrong things can backfire.
In answer to your latest post. I will get a name & number of the Attorney Generals office in Miami. This is who you need to get a hold of.
TO ALL OF YOU WHO PURCHASED PROPERTIES THROUGH THESE CROOKS & HAVE RECEIVED THE LATEST COURT DECISION FROM SARELSON LAW FIRM I MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER YOU. IF YOU PURCHASED THE PROPERTY OUTRIGHT (NOT A DEPOSIT) & HAVE THE BOOKS, TITLES & DEEDS THEIR MIGHT STILL BE SOME HOPE FOR US. AT LEAST YOU OWN THE PROPERTY. I HAVE RETAINED A COSTA RICAN PROPERTY LAWYER & HE HAS DONE WONDERS FOR ME. I'VE EVEN PAID MY PROPERTY TAXES THROUGH HIM. WE'VE ALREADY LOST THOUSANDS SO A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE WON'T HURT YOU. HE CAN ARRANGE THAT YOU ARE THE OWNERS OF YOUR OWN CORPORATION 7 GET THINGS LEGAL SO IF & WHEN YOU CAN SELL THE PROPERTY TO A BUYER WHO MOST CERTAINLY WILL COME ALONG SINCE IT'S AT A PREMIUM. I GIVE YOU THE FOLLOWING:
ARTURO BLANCO - TEL #011506 [protected] - EMAIL: ARTUROBLANCOLAW@GMAIL.COM.
IT WOULD BEHOOVE YOU TO CONTACT HIM SO YOU CAN HOPEFULLY REAP SOME OF YOUR LOSSES SINCE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY MONIES IN THE DISCOVERY PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT LIONIZE@COMCAST.NET. ONCE AGAIN IF YOU ONLY PLACED A DEPOSIT IT MAY BE BLEAK. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US. ALSO, MY PHONE NUMBER IS [protected]. PLEASE, I'M NOT A LAWYER SO I CAN ONLY TELL YOU WHAT I'VE POSTED HERE SO PLEASE DON'T CALL ME WITH NEBULOUS QUESTIONS THAT I CAN'T ANSWER.
Once again, any of you who have the deeds & books for you properties, you need to get in touch with Arturo Blanco in Costa Rica. He has a plan that may benefit all of us.
ALL OF YOU. IF YOU WANT TO TRY AND SALVAGE SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR INVESTMENTS YOU NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ARTURO BLANCO 7 GO WITH HIS PROPOSAL,

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I meet Bill Gayle in January of 2005 and wound up purchasing a lot in Heights of Pacifica Phase 1. in March of 2005. $20.000 later. After reading all the information and the Class Action Suit against these Frauds. What is the status of the Land it self, Did they ever have ownership of this land? Is our document real or is it a useless piece of paper. Do we own the land, if so are we able to any thing with it? Is it tied up in this Class Action Suit.?
We need to gather all the involved people up and hire a firing squad, just for the satisfaction.
Please contact me Robert Zarcone, studioz1@mindspring.com or my cell [protected] looking for the present information. I am planing on going to Costa Rica for a visit and would like to visit the said property.
I was defrauded for $25K, and the reason why it is less than most, is because I smelled a rat from the very beginning, but kept myself in vivid denial. You have to admit, that the whole fraud was very well orchestrated, and everyone was up against a bunch of mobsters with college educations, and with lifelong family ties, out of Miami Beach. It is a sad picture for the Jewish community, the Florida Bar, the Florida Real Estate Commission, Florida State Department, Department of Regulations and Licensing, and all of us who where blatantly cheated out of thousands of dollars. These crooks are living off the 50 millions that they defrauded from the 1200 persons who were defrauded, and even though reported to all kind of Law Agencies, not one of them is performing any investigation. What are we missing, what do we have to do. Let me know-Juan Mas Sarda

good morning.
Yes, I'm still coordinating this Trust.
We had been trying to contact as many buyers as we can and provide the information we have regarding this project.
We were looking for investors to help us for a while, and now a group from New York is close to get an arrangement with us, which I think could be in benefit of every buyer.
I don't have any record of payments made by buyers, so I need proofs of payments to create my record. To be part of this trust, paying in full is the only requirement.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Regards, Cristian
