You are a fraud...Refund our hard earned money first

Paid the downpayment for a villa in RIRIC in 2008. Still waiting for return of the money or construction to begin. What are my options now. Can we all come together and file a class action suit against. I am now in California and approaching a lawyer on my options to get the money back. If all of us in this situation come together, we can file a suit against the RIRIC in California and elsewhere in USA and also advertise in paper on this lawsuit. Please reply and get active on getting your investment back.

Yes salespersons such as Ravi Benjamin can be sued.You may try legal documents delivery to Collins Benjamin Ravi Benjamin address

Villa 1, Prestige Dorchester, Behind Jakkur Flying Club, Jakkur Village, Bangalore 560064

And also for Royal Indian Raj CEO Manoj Benjamin address

Manoj Benjamin, Suite 1402, 1335 Quayside Drive, New Westminster British Columbia, Canada V3M6J4

Krishna R. please email as I have many concerns and questions.Does anyone know of involvement of parties listed.I must have information to present to counsel.Can salesperson be personally sued for selling fake properties in royal garden villas in Bangalore?Manoj Benjamin is CEO.Director is Collins Benjamin.Other names are listed but what involvement have they in royal garden villas maya Benjamin Anjula Benjamin ravi Benjamin sherri vaters.Let us cooperate together for justice.

this is not a shock.what is confusion to my mind is why there are not more lawsuits against manoj benjamin and his father collins benjamin and the evil persons who are in league with them.they are in my mind crooks.

best thing to do is check with your accountant

What a shame Manoj Benjamin doesn't try to do something good with his talents. What a sad pathetic way to live.

indeed good men must come into action to stop force of evil benjamins.police in india and united states authorities have power to supress but persons must speak in confidence with such authorities and bring supportive documents to their complaints.civil lawsuits are good yet only criminal charges will serve ultimate justice.

Collins Benjamin pictured above.

Its just a matter of time before Manoj Benjamin, Collins Benjamin, Ravi Benjamin, Maya Benjamin, Anjula Benjamin and Sherri Vaters are brought to justice. The Bangalore India police seem to be taking the matter quite seriously with the arrest of Collins Benjamin for Cheating and Breach of trust in the "sale" of luxury villas in Bangalore India. Any complaints or evidence would be useful in their prosecution Collins Benjamin. The charges brought against Collins Benjamin also implicate his sons, who are Manoj Benjamin and Ravi Benjamin.

You can choose to sit by and hope that they are brought to justice or you can act and ensure that justice is served against the Benjamin family.

"All that is needed in this world for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing."

Royal Indian Raj Investments Going Nowhere -- that much is for certain. Great advice in your User Name "Think". Yes due diligence is the key to dealing with investments. 10 years ago the internet isn't what it is today but even so Google cannot be relied on to tell the full story. A search in the court systems in the jurisdiction of all listed offices of the companies and the local residential jurisdictions of the corporate principles is also a must. As it turns out Royal Indian Raj and its principals had set up numerous companies. While a few child companies are the norm, RIRIC and Manoj Benjamin went overboard in setting up companies with which to weave a tangled web. A search through the civil courts also shows court records on Manoj Benjamin and numerous records indicating that trade-workers for Collins Benjamin and previous companies had many legal complaints to do with the Benjamins selfish business style. Following the example of Collins, Manoj Benjamin and RIRIC have likewise failed to make good on accounts payable -- the very reason they were kicked out of Suite 610 375 Water Street Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 5C6 in the summer of 2009, despite continuing to use that address after being removed from the premises.

Well I am sorry you lost your money... and trust me I wouldn't hold your breath to get it back. But my question to you would be WHY in earth would yo invest in a company that boosted building a 10 billion dollar project in 1999 and at the time of your investment had accomplished nothing ! Wouldn't you wonder ?Did you do NO resarch ? What did they promise you ... great returns on your investment ?
Sometimes greed overpowers logical thought ... lesson to be learnt here... don't get me wrong I still hope Raj gets what they deserve !

Greed is a bladed boomerang.

British Columbia Securities Commission dismisses fraud investigation into Royal Indian Raj International Corporation

Canadian proprietary township model to proceed in India as result of clearance by the BCSC

Vancouver, BC, November 25, 2011 - As of April 2010, the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) has formally closed their investigation into Royal Indian Raj International Corporation (RIRIC).

Allegations of fraud and irregular land acquisition processes surrounding RIRIC's township development activities in India were brought against the company in early 2005 by a former local employee looking to undermine the hard-earned reputation of RIRIC in both North America and India. In addition to RIRIC's early brand incubation of such names as Choice Hotels (15, 000 rooms), Century 21, and Caldwell; exclusive rights to the Jack Nicklaus golf courses and Academies; consultancy associations with Jones Lang LaSalle and CPG Corporation (former Singapore Public Works Dept); and financial relationships with Global Emerging Market Fund on a 300, 000, 000M (GBP) Equity Line of Credit the following townships were presented to the Indian government and proposed for development subsequent to land negotiations and Township master plans submission:

Royal Garden City Bangalore (2004) - 3, 000 acre (146.36 million sq. ft. built-up) "Smart" City, Bangalore, India
Royal Garden City Mumbai (2004) - 5, 000 acre (217, 800, 000 sq. ft. built-up) "Smart" City, Mumbai, India
Royal Garden Villas and Resort (2005) - Phase 1: 17 gated communities (600, 000 sq. ft.buildable), proposed expansion to 137 acres (5- 7M sq. ft.) Bangalore, India
The Italian Village (2007) - 1, 136 acre gated community, Bangalore, India
Golf India (2007) - a series of prestigious, planned golf course communities across India by golf legend Jack Nicklaus
The Special Economic Zone [protected], 500 acres for commercial development, State of Meghalaya, India

After an exhaustive review, BCSC lead investigator David Martin determined there were no grounds for prosecution.

"At the end of [that] process, we concluded that there was insufficient evidence to sustain allegations, " said Bob Abrams, BCSC Investigations Manager.

"We are very pleased with the BCSC's decision, " says RIRIC's chairman Manoj C. Benjamin. "As RIRIC is very vigilant at keeping well-documented records of its cross- border activities in the new emerging market of India and elsewhere we remained confident with the investigation's outcome. The process has nevertheless delayed our progress.We are eager to put the last few years behind us and get our inaugural township project in Bangalore, India, off the ground in mid 2012, move on to other proposed townships as well as internationally incubate big name brands through our vertically integrated development portal.".

The Asia-China-India markets will make up 50% of the world's economy by mid-century; a transformation which, in India, will be "the scale and speed of which has not happened anywhere except China" noted a recent report from Morgan Stanley. RIRIC is well-versed in the risks and challenges inherent to developing Eastern markets and is readily equipped to handle the multiple facets of its projects.

"Our vertically integrated proprietary "Smart" township model is unique - and a significant undertaking by any company's standards, " notes Benjamin. "It requires vision, the pursuit of excellence and a hard-headed business acumen. In India it requires additional mastery over many complex risk factors and procedures prevalent in these types of emerging markets such as poor regulatory environments, undefined real estate laws/practices, prolonged re-zoning issues, continuously changing governments, and excessive governmental red tape for project permissions with average approvals taking up to six to eight years. It takes patience, perseverance and personal contacts at the highest political level. RIRIC has all three in abundance."

RIRIC initially entered into their township development projects in 2000. They received Indian Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB ) approvals under India's newly created "Integrated Township Sector" programme in September 2004, and became the first Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) permitted under this initiative. However, government delays of five to ten years, the aforementioned employee's internet sabotage campaign, and other influencing market factors reversed the precision planning and effective advancements to date; it was the perfect storm to stall the company's stellar reputation, integrity and project validity.

The clearance by the BCSC, combined with finalized Indian government permit clearances at the central and state levels, will allow RIRIC to commence phase one of its inaugural Royal Garden Villas & Resort (RGV) Live-Work-Play community in 2012 with phase two and its proposed 3-4 million square feet development anticipated to follow. The RGV project has received over 12, 000 sales inquiries in its pre-launch stage. The entire project will be completed in several phases over approximately 5-7 years.

QUOTES

"Over the next two decades, India is expected to see an urban transformation the scale and speed of which has not happened anywhere except China, with many cities becoming larger than many countries in terms of population, size and GDP. By 2030, India's cities will be home to about 590 million people - nearly twice the population of the United States. At present, nearly one-quarter of India's top 200 cities have no car dealership, less than 10% have a 5-star hotel, and nearly two-thirds were still waiting for a large-scale retail store or hyper market." -Morgan Stanley Alpha Wise Evidence Series - India Urbanization, January 2011

"India's burgeoning and transitioning real estate sector has many challenges; understanding those challenges and enormous market potential will take time. In addition to a corporate real estate sector that's in its infancy in terms of customs and regulations compared to Western Europe, the U.S. or Canada, there are also cultural and operational differences that investors here need to fully understand in order to appreciate the risks and subsequent potential gains prevalent in emerging markets." - Manoj C. Benjamin, Chairman RIRIC

"Global realtors are eyeing India - the opportunities here are mind-boggling." - Andrew Irvine, General Secretary of FIABCI (International Real Estate Federation), Times of India

"As recently as this past October, Ernst & Young has stated that India is becoming the fastest growing economy in the world slated to surpass China in GDP growth by 2013. RIRIC's story isn't just the story of one person and a company, but a story that weaves time, place, hundreds of visionary people, an Indian market set to explode, stimulation of bilateral international economic opportunities, and acclimatization to India's emerging market. While there will be a lot hard work and myriad challenges I believe RIRIC's brightest and most innovative days are ahead." - Manoj C. Benjamin, Chairman RIRIC

RIRIC Royal Indian Raj and Manoj Benjamin not operating out of Vancouver office despite claims to the contrary.

See their name in the 2nd column under 610? Nope! Cause they haven't been their since they got kicked out in the summer of 2009.

http://www.the-landing.com/commercial.html

Here's the current tenant:

www.globalterminals.com

They said they would build this 5 star property and took money from me almost 18 months ago but nothing of that sort has happened yet. I am planning on visiting their bangalore office in a couple weeks and I will probably request them for a full refund in writing. I will also check with BIAPPA to see if they have applied for a permit. Has anybody received any refunds? If so, please let me know the procedure you followed.

OK Truth which one of you work for the company? How long did it take you to write up this article - probably a whole week I would imagine.
Well I guess you got nothing else to do these days ... except of course sending the $$ you falsely led people to give you.

I too am an investor/customer that is concerned about the rants and lies that this Zack fellow is spreading in his campaign to destablize this project and threaten our investments. For the record; prior to booking my investment I visited Bangalore, touched the soil of the land and visited the advocates office to confirm all legalities, you can be assured this is not a scam or fraud.
However, I am concerned about the time it is taking to get started, my investment is now over a year in process and I was of the mind I would be receiving my Villa by this time next year. That said, it must be noted that the delays are out of the Royal Indian Raj controls. The common knowledge on the ground is that the entire area has been in a permitting freeze for years now awaiting the finalization of the north bangalore area development plan. The Royal Garden Villa project is merely one of hundreds of projects in the same situation. The positive news is that the airport is now open and the government has extreme pressure to pass the development plan. My fingers are crossed...

I, also, am an investor. Recently, I was told that all of the accountants had left Royal Indian Raj because none of them was willing to take any responsibility for the questionable actions of the Benjamins and Royal Indian Raj. I checked; I called the offices of Royal Indian Raj to verify the credentials of the Chartered Accountant and it is true, there was no accountant to provide credentials.

This is not good news. This is very bad news. This is the worst.

so innocent they look.so guilty they are an with no conscience.true evil.

No Worries. What the Benjamins don't know is that their phones have been tapped for many months and despite what it seems the authorities have had them under survellience. Good thing the FBI is an international organization. They have nowhere to run. They will never be safe.

Royal Indian Raj Scrounging for Money:

http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Royal+Indian+scrounging+money/1715565/story.html

To the Benjamin Family and those partnered with Royal Indian Raj:

It saddens me to see such unprofessional and malicious behavior, from any party. RIRIC, you have not told the truth. You assume all those of anonymous postings over the world wide web are from Bill Zack. You've crippled the bank accounts and lives of too many people for only one person to be upset and vocal about business dealings.

Billion dollar companies often don't post statements such as this on a blog. Your lawyers would handle such responses privately, as to avoid further instances of public record. But Royal Indian Raj and its associated entities are NOT billion dollar companies with histories of success. RIRIC and its affiliates are broke, have been previously been brought up on fraud charges, continue to be, and have also been bankrupt. The opulent lifestyle and seemingly well mannered hosts of Royal Indian Raj are crooks. Plain and simple, just as they are beneath their magic cloaks. With such simple minds, It's truly hard to believe that so many people gave you their hard earned money in trust, and with faith. Meanwhile, you spent it in on luxurious material items and entertainment, shmoozing more unfortunate suckers with your sweets lies. So distasteful. It's hard to believe a family can live behind so many veils, and get away with it for so long.

How is that you all have new homes, fancy cars, and 'junk' to fill them up with, and yet were all poor and desilute just a few years ago, living with mommy dearest, Maya Benjamin, in a one bedroom apartment in New Westminster? Manoj Benjamin along with his younger siblings, Ravi and Anjula, had to run away from the East Coast to Mommy and Daddy, Mr. Collins Benjamin, on the West Coast, to start fresh after bankruptcy and fraud in the 90's

Manipulation masters, and so called masters of disguise. Please, just turn yourselves in, declare bankruptcy and leave the innocent and hardworking individuals alone. The only prayer I have for this situation is that people often receive that which they put out into the world, and I know the Benjamin family is familiar with the motto. I guess they just don't believe it. Sad to see so many people hurt in their path.

Give it up ALREADY guys... 10 years to build something ? What have you really built that even COMES CLOSE to the magnitude of what you claim to be building - nothing of any real importance is the answer - and what do you know about a Tuscan village and how much is that going to cost ? - where is all the extra money going to come from to build the 7 star hotel, the equestrian stables etc etc ?
85 % sold out - yet everything is still available ? man people are just plain stupid for STILL giving you money !

Uh ... "Ranga: ... You're full of crap regarding your comment in the original post on this page: " ... the Chief Minister of Karnataka and the Chairman of BIAPPA who have more than satisfied my inquiries regarding RIRIC’s application ... "

If the Chief Minister of Karnataka is so convinved that Collins Benjamin is a legitimate businessman. Why did the state of Karnataka arrest Collins Benjamin on CRIMINAL CHARGES for CHEATING and BREACH OF TRUST in late 2009?

Keep talking "Ranga". The more you talk/type, the more you reveal that you are a lying sack of Benjamin.

Manoj Benjamin, you said to call you. So I did. I tried numerous times of day, various days. Why doesn't anyone answer the phone at 1.604.685.7442 ? Not even voicemail. So how about the claim that Royal Garden Villas and RIRIC are operating out of 610 - 375 WATER STREET VANCOUVER BC CANADA V6B 5C6? Checked that out thoroughly too. Nope! Looks like the company is not open and is definitely hiding. Is it true that Collins Benjamin is in hiding in India? Is it true that people who are incapable of feeling shame also lack the ability to feel love too? If so, yours is the greatest of all the losses.

British Columbia Securities Commission dismisses fraud investigation into Royal Indian Raj International Corporation

Canadian proprietary township model to proceed in India as result of clearance by the BCSC

Vancouver, BC, November 25, 2011 - As of April 2010, the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) has formally closed their investigation into Royal Indian Raj International Corporation (RIRIC).

Allegations of fraud and irregular land acquisition processes surrounding RIRIC's township development activities in India were brought against the company in early 2005 by a former local employee looking to undermine the hard-earned reputation of RIRIC in both North America and India. In addition to RIRIC's early brand incubation of such names as Choice Hotels (15, 000 rooms), Century 21, and Caldwell; exclusive rights to the Jack Nicklaus golf courses and Academies; consultancy associations with Jones Lang LaSalle and CPG Corporation (former Singapore Public Works Dept); and financial relationships with Global Emerging Market Fund on a 300, 000, 000M (GBP) Equity Line of Credit the following townships were presented to the Indian government and proposed for development subsequent to land negotiations and Township master plans submission:

Royal Garden City Bangalore (2004) - 3, 000 acre (146.36 million sq. ft. built-up) "Smart" City, Bangalore, India
Royal Garden City Mumbai (2004) - 5, 000 acre (217, 800, 000 sq. ft. built-up) "Smart" City, Mumbai, India
Royal Garden Villas and Resort (2005) - Phase 1: 17 gated communities (600, 000 sq. ft.buildable), proposed expansion to 137 acres (5- 7M sq. ft.) Bangalore, India
The Italian Village (2007) - 1, 136 acre gated community, Bangalore, India

"It requires vision, the pursuit of excellence and a hard-headed business acumen. In India it requires additional mastery over many complex risk factors and procedures prevalent in these types of emerging markets such as poor regulatory environments, undefined real estate laws/practices, prolonged re-zoning issues, continuously changing governments, and excessive governmental red tape for project permissions with average approvals taking up to six to eight years. It takes patience, perseverance and personal contacts at the highest political level. RIRIC has all three in abundance."

RIRIC initially entered into their township development projects in 2000. They received Indian Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB ) approvals under India's newly created "Integrated Township Sector" programme in September 2004, and became the first Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) permitted under this initiative. However, government delays of five to ten years, the aforementioned employee's internet sabotage campaign, and other influencing market factors reversed the precision planning and effective advancements to date; it was the perfect storm to stall the company's stellar reputation, integrity and project validity.

The clearance by the BCSC, combined with finalized Indian government permit clearances at the central and state levels, will allow RIRIC to commence phase one of its inaugural Royal Garden Villas & Resort (RGV) Live-Work-Play community in 2012 with phase two and its proposed 3-4 million square feet development anticipated to follow. The RGV project has received over 12, 000 sales inquiries in its pre-launch stage. The entire project will be completed in several phases over approximately 5-7 years.

QUOTES

"Over the next two decades, India is expected to see an urban transformation the scale and speed of which has not happened anywhere except China, with many cities becoming larger than many countries in terms of population, size and GDP. By 2030, India's cities will be home to about 590 million people - nearly twice the population of the United States. At present, nearly one-quarter of India's top 200 cities have no car dealership, less than 10% have a 5-star hotel, and nearly two-thirds were still waiting for a large-scale retail store or hyper market." -Morgan Stanley Alpha Wise Evidence Series - India Urbanization, January 2011

"India's burgeoning and transitioning real estate sector has many challenges; understanding those challenges and enormous market potential will take time. In addition to a corporate real estate sector that's in its infancy in terms of customs and regulations compared to Western Europe, the U.S. or Canada, there are also cultural and operational differences that investors here need to fully understand in order to appreciate the risks and subsequent potential gains prevalent in emerging markets." - Manoj C. Benjamin, Chairman RIRIC

"Global realtors are eyeing India - the opportunities here are mind-boggling." - Andrew Irvine, General Secretary of FIABCI (International Real Estate Federation), Times of India

"As recently as this past October, Ernst & Young has stated that India is becoming the fastest growing economy in the world slated to surpass China in GDP growth by 2013. RIRIC's story isn't just the story of one person and a company, but a story that weaves time, place, hundreds of visionary people, an Indian market set to explode, stimulation of bilateral international economic opportunities, and acclimatization to India's emerging market. While there will be a lot hard work and myriad challenges I believe RIRIC's brightest and most innovative days are ahead." - Manoj C. Benjamin, Chairman RIRIC

Kenneth Corey, as Vice President Marketing and Operations, is responsible for marketing, sales and operations.

He is fully aware that false marketing is fraud. He is fully aware that sales or investment obtained from false marketing is fraud. He is fully aware that providing misleading or false information, by commission or ommission, to persuade or dissuade is fraud. He is fully aware of the operations of Royal Indian Raj.

Mr. Corey's continued involvement, even after recent unveiling of fraudulent activity, only confirms his willing and knowing participation and thus he is, also, individually accountable.

Do you feel you have been misled or defrauded?

Take note of Kenneth Corey's name for any statements to authorities in any criminal or civil actions against Royal Indian Raj or Mr. Corey individually.

Call the office at 604.685.7442 by all means. RIRIC was kicked out in summer 2009. Still promoting 610 - 375 as their address. Just on more big fat lie from the cowards.

Royal Indian Raj will be brought to justice one way or the other. If Manoj Benjamin Collins Benjamin and Ravi Benjamin think they can outsmart Karma they have a rude awakening enroute. Royal Indian Raj and its corrupt directors will experience exactly what they have dished out. It is the law of the universe - justice is cyclic.

Royal Indian Raj is not maintaining its office at #610 - 375 Water Street. It has not done so since the summer of 2009. This is the business that occupies that suite.

Royal Indian Raj Scrounging For Money - David Baines Vancouver Sun

Excerpt:

On Thursday, Vancouver businessman Manoj Benjamin, chairman of Royal Indian Raj International Corp., drove to the Surrey office of Verge Capital Inc., which provides small, short-term loans to businesses. ...

He introduced himself to Verge's co-owner, Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson. He explained that Royal Indian Raj was developing a real estate project, the Royal Garden Villas & Resorts, in Bangalore, India. ...

Benjamin told him that, in September, Royal Indian Raj would start collecting $25 million in project receivables, and he would soon become "the wealthiest man in India." But he was a little tight on cash and needed some short-term working capital. Could Hansen-Carlson lend the company $5, 000, with Benjamin's personal guarantee? And could he make the cheque out to him personally? ...

This struck Hansen-Carlson as very odd. Here was this big-league businessman, sporting all the trappings of success, on the verge of becoming the richest man in India. And he was scrounging around for a $5, 000? ...

Despite its regal trappings, I have always suspected the company was living a hand-to-mouth existence. Much of the money that has been raised to date has been used to sustain Benjamin's facade of affluence, which is so critical to raising more money. Hansen-Carlson was not impressed, however. He declined to advance the $5, 000.

IT IS FOR NAKED EYES TO SEE HOW ONE CAN STOOP, AND DEFAME THE BENJAMINS.I HAVE PERSONALLY INTERACTED WITH THEM AND KNOW THEIR GOOD INTENTIONS AND VISION TO SEE A BETTER INDIA.MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND GIVE THEM ALL THE STRENGTH, AND GRACE TO FIGHT ALL EVIL FORCES.I WISH THEM GOOD LUCK.

Although it is true that RIRIC did have a contract with the Nicklaus Group, Jack and his company ended the contract due to unfulfilled obligations by RIRIC. Yes, there was a visit to India. The fraud and misrepresentation comes in the form of RIRIC continuing to use the media footage and press release to promote their so-called relationship with Jack Nicklaus, when, if fact, the relationship was terminated. Royal Indian Raj continues, to this day, to promote a false relationship with Jack's name. Royal Indian Raj to date, has not informed it's investors or the public that the contract was terminated. They continue to mislead the public.

Jack did not cut ties...his 2 year contract ran out. When I contacted his group they said they would re-visit the deal when the permits come in. How can it be fraud if he had an agreement with them ? I sawa special on Jack in India visiting this course...

Stop making mountians out of molehills...Half of Jack's golf courses are in trouble worldwide..it's called the world wide recession people...I know Wind and Sea course in British columbia is in Chapter 11 right now..

Well that the impact of collectivly taking on such frudsters.Cheers

Thank you Jack! It's about time he cut his dies with the Benjamin Family. I would have hated to see him get mixed up with the likes of Mr. Manoj Benjamin, Mr. Collins Benjamin, and Mr. Ravi Benjamin. I so hope that those who invested will see some kind of compensation. It's so sad to watch the Benjamins and their cohorts outright lie to people on a daily basis. I don't konw how they keep up with themselves. I can't help but wonder why more people are not coming forward. Hopefully this new move, thanks to Jack, will spark more attention to the scam taking place. These fraudsters have lived the high life while others suffer. They have stolen from the poor, to create an image of the rich. A 3 billion dollar project - cities no less - being built in the slums of East Van. Shame on the Benjamins!

I am starting to realize that this Zack fellow is not the monstrous former disgruntled employee that Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins have painted him to be. Whenever someone reveals some lie or questionable actions by Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins, the Benjamins start ranting that it is a dastardly trick by this monstrous Zack fellow. According to Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins he is like the Devil, he is everywhere. When the newspapers revealed that Benjamin was once charged with FRAUD, Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins ranted it was a dastardly trick by the monstrous Zack. I’m sorry; it was Benjamin that was charged with FRAUD so how could that be a trick by Zack. When the newspapers revealed that Benjamin was a former BANKRUPT with many unpaid creditors, Royal Indian Raj and Benjamins ranted it was a dastardly trick by the monstrous Zack. I’m sorry; it was Benjamin who FAILED IN HIS BUSINESSES and had to declare BANKRUPTCY so how could that be a trick by Zack. When the newspapers revealed that Benjamin continued after his BANKRUPTCY to leave A TRAIL OF FAILED BUSINESSES & UNPAID CREDITORS, Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins ranted it was a dastardly trick by the monstrous Zack. I’m sorry; it was Benjamin who left A TRAIL OF FAILED BUSINESSES & UNPAID CREDITORS so how could that be a trick by Zack. I’m sure this monstrous Zack fellow is going to become engrained in mythology and stories are going to be told to children in order to ensure they behave – “If you don’t behave Zack will get you”.

SORRY, I’m not buying it any longer. As every day goes by, I am more and more appreciating this Bill Zack fellow for what he truly is….a “whistleblower”. He warned us long ago of the false statements, false claims and questionable actions of Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins and as every day goes by he is being proven right over and over again.

He warned us that Royal Indian Raj falsely exaggerated its land holdings and now we have learned that Royal Indian Raj owns only 17 acres and if that.

He warned us that there was no land for a 18 hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course on the Royal Garden Villas project and now we see Jack Nicklaus has pulled his endorsement from the Royal Garden Villas website (www.rgvillas.com) .

He warned us of the business practices of Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins and now we have learned that firsthand with customers/investors not receiving monies due with no answers or communications.

He warned us, when Royal Indian Raj signed an agreement with Choice Hotels to construct 15000 rooms, that Royal Indian Raj had built nothing to date eluding that building anything with Choice was unlikely and now we have learned that Choice ended its association with Royal Indian Raj. And shortly after that, CPG (Singapore Public Works), the international constructor company that was flaunted as an Alliance Partner, also ended its association. Both company’s logos were removed from Royal Indian’s website.

I revisited Zack’s website - www.royalindiansham.com and I found it very well documented. In fact, I rustled through all the past communications or documents I had and I found many of those exact quotes that were on the website. I researched through past newspapers online and found many of those exact statements by Benjamin as quoted on the website. I challenged myself to try and find something, anything, on Zack’s website that was untrue and I failed. To the best of my efforts, I could not find anything that was untrue.

I found many newspaper articles on Royal Indian Raj that were much more damaging than anything Zack had ever said or warned. But yet Zack is being sued by Royal Indian Raj and not the newspapers. I guess it is easier to bully one single person than try to bully newspapers that are reporting fact. On the other hand, I really think he is being sued just to further support his image to us as the MONSTROUS ZACK who cannot be trusted. Afterall, he was an insider who would know alot of the transgressions of Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins. Lawsuits take years and by that time they will probably settle quietly by paying Zack and none of us will ever know. My lawyer friend says that is the exact tact companies take in order to discredit the claims of whistleblowers and minimize the negative affect and damage.

I now appreciate Zack more and more as the “WHISTLEBLOWER” who warned us all long ago.

I have been thoroughly amazed at how well Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins have been able to brainwash the investors and customers, including me, and redirect blame to the point of having a lot of investors and customers, including me, spewing their rhetoric – it’s a liquidity crisis, everything has slowed in India, its biappa’s fault. As of recent I have finally realized that this redirection of blame was more intended to distract us all from focusing on the real issue and the real issue is FRAUD! After closer examination it is clear the real issue is indeed FRAUD!

1. Why did the Royal Indian group and the Benjamin's FALSELY market and advertise a 18 hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, approximately 200 acres, for the Royal Garden Villas project in Bangalore when they knew they could not and would not build a such a golf course? FRAUD?

2. Why did they FALSELY claim that they had the land of approximately 200 acres required for such a golf course under agreement when they did not? FRAUD?

3. Why did they FALSELY claim that they had the land required for the other amenities, like equestrian land, winery land, etc, when they did not? FRAUD?

4. Why did they FALSELY state in a newsletter that all deposits were being held in escrow when they are not? FRAUD?

5. Why did they tell everyone that the deposits would only be used for the project when they took the money from the deposits to buy land at a totally unrelated site to which we have absolutely no connection? FRAUD?

6. Why when customers have asked for refunds they are unable to get their monies back even after the waiting period? Nothing has been built yet so where has the money gone? FRAUD?

7. Why are they now not answering telephone calls from Customers now due their monies? FRAUD?

8. Why are they now not even answering emails from customer now due their monies? FRAUD?

9. Why are they not making any effort to communicate with the customers now due their monies? FRAUD?

10. Why did they ILLEGALLY sell real estate in jurisdictions in the USA and elsewhere where they have no real estate license or prospectus? FRAUD?

11. Why did they FALSELY claim they had more assets then they really did? FRAUD?

12. Why did they FALSELY claim that the company with which customers have the purchase agreements owns the 17 acres when really it is owned by a third party who has no legal obligation to us and could just walk away with the land if something goes wrong? FRAUD?

13. Why are they not willing to provide an accounting of the deposit monies? FRAUD?

14. Why are customers now filing for charges of fraud against the Royal Indian Raj group and the Benjamins? FRAUD?

And the list goes on. The more you verify the more you realize the real issue is FRAUD!

I was amused by the comments of DeepaM in the post below. DeepaM says, “Looks like a sign of the times.” What, FRAUD is a sign of the times? I wish to correct that. Stupidity is a sign of the times. With the allure of making an easy return I was stupid and ignored all the common sense signals. When I was given deep discounts, I ignored the old adage of “If it seems too good to be true it probably is.” I ignored the old adage “Buyer Beware” even though I was buying over the internet from a group that has a zero track record. I would guess that like all purchasers, I did not involve an advocate when that is the very first step you take in USA. I would guess that like all purchasers, I never had an independent advocate check the Land Titles or the contract prior to signing. Yes, I feel stupid. If anyone else feels the same, do not feel bad you are not alone. Yes, stupidity is a sign of the times and it is being proven daily in India by buyers running for easy returns that are too good to be true. Which they learn eventually are exactly that, “too good to be true”, as someone walks off with their money. Mind you I did not know then that Benjamin was once charged with fraud but I do now. They say tigers never change their stripes.

I got a great chuckle from Ranjeet’s comments in the post below – Legal Verification Completed. Ranjeet proudly comments how he/she visited the site, touched the soil and visited the advocate of Royal Indian Raj. My dear Ranjeet when buying real estate you do not take advice from the seller’s advocate, you take advice from your own independent advocate. If you had taken the time to retain a great independent advocate, your advocate would have advised you that you are signing a purchase agreement with “Company A” and the land is owned by an independent “Person B” who has no obligation to you and can walk away with the land if anything goes wrong and like magic….poof…your money disappears into thin air. Your advocate would have advised you to only sign an agreement if “Company A” owns the land and where you have a legal tie and right to the land. Their advocate probably said that the land was fully owned and clear title but failed to advise that it was not owned by the company on the purchase agreement. That is why you need a great independent advocate to advise you. Don’t worry, I made the same mistake and I only learned from an advocate after the fact. My advocate told me that this is typical to a scam where the land is used to lure in money from buyers and when the money is gone the selling company is shut down and the land owner walks away with the land. We know that the money is gone from RGVillas because customers that are due their monies are unable to get their money and nor are their calls or emails being answered. So what do you think is going to happen next…..magic…..and poof our money has disappeared into thin air? So how do we recover our money? Well, you can do like other investors and customers, including me, are doing and move to file charges of fraud against the Benjamins for any fraudulent actions and fraudulent representations and freeze their assets and recover the funds from those assets. There is a group at royalindianconcerns@hotmail.com that is helping investors and customers organize unified legal action and criminal charges.

I respectfully didn’t really pay much heed to DeepaM’s and Ranjeet’s comments as that is exactly the same rhetoric Royal Indian Raj staff gave me, almost word for word. If not Royal Indian Raj staff, then definitely the comments were influenced by staff in a half-hearted attempt to counter the growing wave of charges and legal actions mounting against Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins. But the secret is out now and Royal Indian Raj and the Benjamins have no way of hiding it any longer.

Royal Indian Raj customers and investors take note:

Royal Indian Raj Scrounging for Money:

http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Royal+Indian+scrounging+money/1715565/story.html

Call the office at 604.685.7442 by all means. RIRIC was kicked out in summer 2009. Still promoting 610 - 375 water street vancouver as their address. Just on more big fat lie from the cowards. What a bunch of clowns!

My name is Maridev Ramakrishna. I live in Leesburg, Virginia. I had sent a registered acknowledgement letter to Mr. Bob Brown dated 27 February, 2009 requesting him to return my Deposit money of $5, 000.00 and sent two e-mails. As of today, he has NOT responded. If he is NOT Fraud why did he not return my money yet? I had booked the Apartment at Bangalore through Ashok Goyal who is an agent for him resides in California. I had visited his office at Bangalore and his Royal Garden Vila sight near New International Bangalore Airport. I was NOT impressed with the area and I was disappointed. God only knows how many people invested in this Development, I think most of them would loose their hard earned deposit money. I never ever invest my money in this RGV company. They are all Fraud people. If RGV is a good company and if he is a multi-millionair, does he need this long to return my Deposit? Already 6 months over. I strongly suggest not to invest money in this RGV company. It is a FRAUD Company! I don't beleive any one of them.

The Abdul fellow that wrote this is not even a Customer. It is Bill Zack himself.

I 100% agree with this article. Zack is a whistle blower and everything on his site is accurate. To all potential rgvillas investors please visit the site http://www.royalindiansham.com before investing in the project.

The site saved me a bunch of money as I never invested with them.
