hi poor one

You are not alone in this massive real estate investment scam, involved hundreds of millions of dollars.

I lost 35k in deposit at Playa Del Mar for these crooks, they kept promising the developments of the land but it never finished, now I cannot find them any more, their office is closed for good.

I have contacted a famous lawyer, his name is Matthew Sarelson, he knows them very well and he also had started the class action lawsuit against these crooks at Paragon, his law frim is Sarelson law firm in florida. the link is:

Please contact this lawyer or any one you think they can help you recover your hard earned money... such as General Attorney in Florida...the FBI...bring all your documents to the local TV stations to report, if they can not do it they may refer the cases to the main offices of CBS, NBC, CNN. ABC...We need to get this matter in to the air, so that every one will know.

Bill Gale is out of the country now, his message from the office in Hollywood, FL is designed to give him more time to hide.

Let's all report to the FBI around the country, fill out the complain form at FBI website known as IC3, we need to capture these crooks ASAP.
If you can talk to any FBI agent in person it is even better.

Paragon properties is no longer exited, any one who lost money to this ponzi scheme is required to file reports to local law enforcement, state AG, and Federal Investigation Bureau.

We need to tell the FBI that Bill Gale is supporting the terrorists with our money and to buy drugs...he is in the missions to destabilize the US's economy.

There is a reward 50k for capturing Bill Gale death or alive...

Now I have discovered Bill Gale was transferring drugs between Costa Rica to the US and then to Italy where his base is... part of his operation was captured by the DEA, but this agency had no clear evidents to prosecute him, he lost his money to a drug deal, he then took our money to pay for his debts...

Please contact me by email at: tvlam59@gmail.com

I have received so many phone calls from desperate people who lost all their life savings but I could not answer them all, please forgive me.

We will find this guy and ask for our money back if he won't ...we will know what to do next, there's no safe heaven for him anywhere, until he returns our money.

Do not wait a second...report right away to the FBI and any one who is law enforcement officer...Bill Gale is disappeared with millions dollars he stolen from us.

I live in Phoenix area, Arizona. There is a TV station dedicated to help people who lost their money thru' bogus investment scheme like Paragon Properties, here is the link:

It is free of charge.

This TV station employed a group of investigators who specialize in finding the crooks, they are often better than the FBI, because they are people friendly, and they don't need to smell the money before they commit.

Please contact them ASAP...every body do it now...

REPORT NOW
Any one who lost money to Paragon Properties must now report to the US DEA in Costa Rica or in the US. Paragon Properties had stole our investment money for drug deal MONEY laundering.
Unless we all report to the US Drug enforcement Agency...We will never see a single dime back from PP.

It does not matter how many lawyers we hire...we will never success, only the DEA can get our money back.

REPORT TO THE US DEA NOW.

Report this guy to the DEA.

I agree that we are probably out our money. Mine is between my sister, brother and myself and 1/2 of the money, $35, 000, was given to us from my mother who is now deceased. I did file the complaint and thank you for listing that. The last communication I had was with David Valentine on 4/23/10. I attempted to contact him and Paragon Properties this past week with 'delivery failure' on my emails. I feared the worst and it appears it is happening.

Bill Gale's personal cell phone number is [protected]. You can also reach him on facebook under Billy Gale, if having difficulty reaching him, you can indirectly reach him as one of the "friends" on the facebook profile of his wife Judith or Judi Shapiro, and their daughter Jill Gale-Singer. More contact info to follow.
Charles Neustein, the escrow lawyer, has been a longtime personal friend of his and this relationship continues to this day despite the fact that Neustein states they are no longer involved with eachother.

I have left messages several times months ago and never got a return. He replied only one investor I know of and that was infrequent and vague. No positive action was taken. and that investor bacame disalussioned.

My application for deed is worthless in Ocean Palms. Presently, a judge is reviewing the defendants court papers to dismiss the law suit filed by Sarelson Law Firm. If Gale and company were responsible they would have kept investors updated and complied with their contract including refunds. This is fraud and their are upward of 700 plus investors. To complicate things, the property is outside the US which takes it out of Florida jurisdiction. Investors could be in for a long wait before getting any money back. I reluctantly joined the class action with no other recourse. Hope for Gale and company to do the right thing is not an option. All the best. Scotty

Contact information for Bill Gale (William Alan Gale) Billy Gale is cell phone [protected]. He still uses this cell phone number and you can hear his voice as plain as day. He listens to all messages you leave and reads all text messages sent to this phone. He may or may not respond to you if you call but he has said to feel free to call and text anytime. PLease blow up his phone.
His part time residence where he and his wife live in North Miami Beach is 1921 Ne 205th St., Miami FL [protected]. Feel free to contact him there. The house is registered in his wife's name. His wife's name is Judith or Judi Shapiro. You can also contact him on Facebook under the name of Billy Gale. If you have trouble finding him like this, then you can find him as a "friend" of his wife Judi or Judith Shapiro. They are both friends with their daughter, Jill (K) Gale-Singer, and their son Joel (C) Gale. Please feel free to contact him through these channels. Barry Shapiro is Judi or Judith's son as well. Use all of these channels to get through to him. His lawyer he uses in Florida (besides the questionable ethics lawyer Charles Neustein) is Jeffrey Tew of Tew-Cardenas Law Firm. He also has very questionable ethics. You may or may not be able to reach Bill Gale at his daughter Jill's old or current address of 1825 Ne 197th Ter, Miami FL [protected].
His wife Judi likes to frequent the Boutique called "Jessie Boutique." the address for this Boutique is 20533 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura, FL 33180. You may be able to reach Bill Gale there possibly. any chance of personally reaching him increases your likelihood of trying to get your money back. Anywhere his wife is, Bill likely is. She also likes to frequent the other businesses, "On My Own Boutique", and "Lynn Goldsmith Photography", "One Day's Wages", and "Miami Cordage/Florida Wire & Rigging Works."
Please feel free to contact these businesses and tell them how you feel about their business establishment having clients such as these.
The Gales are also friends with the actor Peter Weller and in December of 2009 went all together on a lavish European Vaction to England and France and had the pictures of them all together posted on Facebook..this during a time when he supposedly had "no money." Please feel free, if so desired, to contact any of the agencies that utilize Peter Weller, such as "The History Channel" and inform them about the friendship that their paid actor has with a person such as Bill Gale, and tell them how you feel about that!
Paragon Properties has this year moved some of their land lots to another company called "Paradise International" and are/have tried the same thing that they were doing with Paragon. Look it up and spread the word to not trust this company.
finally, I ask that everyone chip in and help to warn people to not get involved with Bill Gale and/or his businesses by warning their associates/friends on social profiles...people need to be warned because you dont know who they will try to get to do business with them and get money taken from them with nothing to show in return. You never know who they will be legit with and who they wont be, and people in association with them should be warned so as they will not fall victim to the same as all of you!
