Bulgaria Buy To Let (Bulgaria BTL)
This is yes another developer which throws shade on all foreign investments in Bulgaria. The company Bulgaria BTL is a developer company which was supposed to build a nice closed house complex at the foot of mountain Vitosha, Sofia. The houses were sold off plan. The company started attracting buyers, by asking them for small initial installment of £ 5000. The latter amount was supposed to be for opening a company in Bulgaria, and later that company was supposed to buy the land and the house.
However, the company just took the £ 5000 and seized the construction. This leads all investors to a dead end. The company website is now closed and the buyers consider themselves as a victims of fraud.
However not everything is lost. Our lawyers have performed a legal due diligence of Bulgaria BTL. Here is what we found:
Company name: Bulgaria Buy To Let LLC,
Company file No 131436790
Registered addres: Sofia, 36 Dragan Tzankov Blvd, Entr. B, floor 5, office 501
Manager: Simon Cristofer James Also
Shareholders: 1.Ingrid Grace Also and
2.Anil Kohli
Registered capital of the company: 5000 levs (about EUR 2500)
Since 2008 there are no activities in the commercial register company file, initiated by the manager. This should be a sign that the company is left. The Commercial register shows that Anil Kohli’s shares has been seized by the court. This seizure is initiated by a Bulgarian citizen. Our legal interpretation is that most probably Anil Kohli owes the Bulgarian person certain amount of money ( EUR 94600, to be specific) and therefore the court has issued a seizure order against Anil Kohli, consequently seizing his shares in the company.
The legal due diligence showed also that the company owes a factory for producing wooden materials for house construction. So far there are no liens over that property, so the quicker creditors get their claims filed in court, the better chance they have to get their £ 5000 back. The factory can be seized so, it will stay there for the plaintiffs, no matter how long the case lasts in court. After getting the positive court resolution, the creditors could put the factory on a public tender, sell it and get their money back. The latter should be done via law enforcement agent.

Hi
I invested ?70,000 with Bulgaria btl after the agent told me that the first development at Vladaya was completed. I was later told that ‘delays do happen ‘.
BBTL continued with their story about being able to build a property shell within 12 months, two years into the project. I pointed out that this was a lie, but the company continued to deceive their clients.
Simon Allso recently told me his system was perfect, and builders were capable of building 10 houses per week , his failure to complete a single house at Vladaya does not dissuade him from his predictions. In order to satisfy the needs of the allocation queue, bbtl needed to build over 500 houses, they were struggling to obtain building permission for 100 houses and run out of money before completing one house.
Simon Allso still describes his system as ‘perfect’.
WE INVESTED WITH BTL ?15,000 and have not received any refund. we was told by KOHLI that we would have by September 2008 on the phone.
WE ARE WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING WITH ALL THE COMMENTS BEING MADE.
I tried to set up a squidoo lense for victims of this scam, unfortunately Simon Allso sabotaged it.
Unfortunately the agents that sold this scam, Steve Hodgson of ajpropertyeurope, Alan Forsyth of property deals and Robert Gavin of property horizons have left their clients to fend for themselves, and have shown little remorse for recommending handing their money over to criminals.
I wonder how Simon Allso and Anil Kohli sleep at night, they are both serial scammers
Are you not aware that these guys are convicted fraudsters !!!
Dear All,
Have you tried to sue the above mentioned people? The amount of money you are quoting is pretty big, and from what we have checked, I’d say you have pretty good chance of getting your money back. Whoever is interested, just drop me an email along with all relevant case documents.
I invested all my children’s inheritance with Mr Simon Allso and Bulgaria Buy to Let. I naively thought I was building a safer stronger future for my little ones.
I was stupid to trust a man, that is it appears run’s one false company after another, this is not business, this is crime.
I have spoken on the internet several times only for Simon Allso to find us and start making threats, normally resulting in having to close down our blogs, or having them closed on us because of Simon Allso making hollow groundless threats. Mr Allso tries to bully, threaten and intimidate people into submission, we have all had enough of this and he will not silence us anymore.
An example of Mr Allso’s attitude towards us, his victims, speaking openly is his pathetic attempt to stop us talking recently about his time in prison.
He is a convicted fraudster, he has spent several years in jail for his crimes, yet he denies this and has made threats against me and others for discussing this, all the information regarding his crime and prison sentence comes directly from the H.M Court website but he still denies his crime.
This is an unscrupulous individual, he seems void of feelings and guilt , he is motivated only by greed and personal gain, he lives a very comfortable life with homes in Hampshire UK and Cyprus, he drives a hugely expensive car and this it appears is not achieved through honest hard work. Simon Allso needs to be stopped and bought to justice, he has committed a serious crime and like any criminal needs to stand trail for his crimes.
If Simon Allso is reading this, and I strongly suspect he is, I have a message for him. Simon we told you we would not go away, we are growing in numbers and strength and we will make sure you are taken to court as soon as possible, we need justice, we need our money.
If Simon Allso is reading this, and I strongly suspect he is, I have a message for him. Simon we told you we would not go away, we are growing in numbers and strength and we will make sure you are taken to court as soon as possible, we need justice, we need our money.
Apparently there are a lot of people who suffer from their bad investment. I strongly advise all of you to gather all evidence for each individual case and file a claim. This is the only way you can get your money back. Remember the more you wait the less your chance for getting your money is. The company will probably dispose its assets and you will be left with nothing. I have written a step-by-step overview of the legal proceedings in Bulgaria. You can take a look and decide whether you want to file a claim in the Bulgarian court.
I invested ?70,000 after being told that Vladaya was completed, I still have this email, Simon Allso is a man without morals, a man that will say anything to get hold of your money.
Anil Kohli is equally corrupt, he strung along the victims of this crime with false hope, while spending his way through our money. He is also involved with two other scams and yet, like Allso, blames everyone else.
I lost 15,000 euro and I am not prepared to put good money after bad chasing Allso and Kohli. However, it gauls me to think of what these people have got away with. If a Bulgarian solicitor was prepared to take this case on a ‘no foul no fees basis’ then I would consider pursuing the matter.
Paul, we are now considering the no-win-no-fee basis.
I invested ?5,000 with Bulgaria BTL in February 2006. I realised this was a scam in May 2008.
Hi Milen Hristov
If you would consider the no-win-no-fee basis then count me in, and in the mean time, I would be only too pleased to do some internet marketing for you. Give me some information about your company and some keywords that you would like to rank for, and I will promote your company to the best of my ability.Congratulations on having the foresight to have a blog, this has already got your company noticed
Anil Kohli is reportedly on the run, and has taken his wifes jewellery. But this information originates from Anil’s wife, and so we dont know how true it is.
I am a victim of Bulgaria BTL. I was in for ?10K. It is very pleasing to see a lawyer firm taking initiative in this horrible situation.
We encourage everyone with signed agreements with BBTL or with another connected company to email us scanned copies of those agreements. We are in process of legal assessment of the BBTL case. Any signed documents and/or payment proofs will be in your favour. Please do NOT send/forward email correspondence as it will be irrelevant to the court proceedings.
We paid ?5,000 in 2006 and have had lots of correspondence between the Agent and e-mails from Bulgaria BTL but it all appears to have come to nothing. We are desperately trying to get our money back and would love some help to do this.
Just a short notice. Does anybody have agreements that are signed by BBTL?
Hello Milen,
I am a victim of these evil men to the tune of ?5000, courtesy of Robert Gavin (property agent) who promoted it. His company is now called Property Horizons, but was trading as “Invest-in-Sofia” at the time.
Will be in touch.
May God, & a good lawyer (His representatives here on earth) help us all.
Hi, Is it an offence in Bulgaria to advertise a service that you cannot provide ….. in other words, lie in order to deceive people out of their money?. With clients on their books for 2 years, money running out, building permission for only 23 houses, and only building permission being sought for a further 80 houses, BBTL website still advised potential clients that they should expect to receive a property shell within 12 months …. if not sooner. Th insolvency people , that shut down the main agent, revealed that 300 sales had been made, and so with 50% of houses going to allocation queue, BBTL needed to build over 500 houses.
BBTL literature also talks of building health centre. Many clients / agents were told that bank finance was not needed as the properties were being paid for by developers finance.
Simon Allso and Anil Kohli are corrupt as they come, and no doubt they are trying to squeeze the last of our money out.
Does the Bulgarian law allow for individuals to say anything in order to obtain money, without accountability?, it does seem the UK justice system has failed us.
Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts/contact details of Steve/Adam Hodgson formerly of AJ property Europe?
I am not sure if Steve Hodgson has moved from his original address, I believe this was on the ajpropertyeurope website, which can be viewed at archive.org , where you can read about the ski chalets. I would like to hear the orgins of the information he fed me throughout 2007, none of which was true. It would be nice to see Steve informing the authoroties of the lies and deception that took place.
Dear Milen Hristov
I have Receipts for the ?5,000 sent to BUYBULGARIA LTD in February 2006.
Please advise if you want me to scan and email the receipt.
Best Regards,
Paul
Recommend the insolvency agency are contacted regarding Buybulgaria and what happened to money after it was sent to buybulgaria. I know the insolvency report showed that not all the funds made it to Bulgaria, but was distributed amongst disqualified directors and their associates. Need to find a paper trail of money from BuyBulgaria to BBTL and find out what % of funds was distributed amongst Kohli / Allso and their associates.
try contacting your local MP, show how Kohli has continued has been implicated in further scams.
Ok, I receive documents and email but you need to know something. Good evidence will be:
Emails and just printed invoices are no good evidence in the Bulgarian court. Also good evidence could be if you can find evidence in these liquidated UK agent companies- a bank statement showing the payments to BBTL, made by the agent. This could be a good evidence to file a lawsuit too.
Ok, so I have to update you all on what conclusion we have reached. Only few of you have sent actual receipts from their property broker, confirming the transfer of the purchase price to the developer. Having studied the documents, we have found that the property brokers have actually transfered money to Buy Bulgaria Ltd. and not to Bulgaria Buy To Let Ltd. (BBTL). What are the consequences?
Buy Bulgaria Ltd. is UK based company. Since it has received your money, you need to sue that company. BBTL Ltd. is a Bulgarian company. So far there is absolutely no written document evidencing that this company(BBTL) has received your money or has any legal obligation to you. Few of you have sent preliminary agreements, but none of these was signed by BBTL. Therefore we can’t use them.
Again, if some of you finds document, evidencing that Bulgaria Buy To Let Ltd. (the Bulgarian company) has received some of your money we can initiate the proceedings here in Bulgaria.
Since the recipient of the money is Buy Bulgaria Ltd., the jurisdiction is UK and you need to hire UK lawyer.
It seems as though we should be chasing Tim Mannion, Director of buybulgaria. I know that Tim Mannion was guilty of deceiving clients, telling them that BBTL would have 400 houses built by the end of 2007, even though BBTL only had building permission for 23 houses. Tim Mannion was also responsible for telling clients that finance would come from the developers. I think it is upto Tim Mannion to then prove the deception came from Anil Kohli and Simon Allso.
extract from buybulgaria insolvency report:
payments were made by the company at the instructions of the bulgarian company, for which it was a the agent. these monies were the property of the bulgarian company. Many of these payments were not to the bulgarian company , to third parties including the two individuals subject to the uk director disqualification and their associates. this was a concern raised by the secretary of state in presenting the petition
I suggest that you write to Paul Titherton at public interest unit, 21 bloomsbury, London WC1B 3SS with regard to the insoventy of buybulgaria
and ask for full details about how OUR MONEY was distributed. The report I have at the moment does not go into details ,
They require a letter, before releasing any further information
But it was disclosed to me on the phone that substantial amounts of money were sent to Kohli, Allso ,members of their family
and other associates. I think it will show how Tim Mannion should have been aware of wrong doing. Tim Mannion, the man that believed
that BBTL were going to build 400 houses by the end of 2007, despite only having planning permission for 23 houses, and with knowledge
that money was being sent to the fraudsters.
Lets find out how the scammers spent our money
I will confirm that BBTL actions were allegedly not legal. If we collect enough evidence this could be filed as a fraud in prosecutor’s office in Bulgaria. It’s just I haven’t got enough evidence for payment. So far only one person have provided good evidence and most probably I will file claim and fraud complaint on his behalf.
What did they do that is illegal in Bulgaria?
Of course, they didn’t fulfil their obligations to the buyers.
@Tariq: A civil matter is when you have actually a civil contract signed. Some of the buyers don’t have one, so it’s clearly a fraud.
Also, it’s interesting how they can have thousands euros in terms of income and suddenly run out of money without making expenses.
Hello Milen.
My name is Tariq and I suspect that the recent posts in my name are from Simon Allso.
Please be aware of this.I have sent a post to you under the name Tariq The Original earlier today.
It is interesting that Simon Allso, whose name incidentally is so liked with fraud that when you type it into Google it gives to the option of Simon Allso Fraud, has chosen to commit identity fraud be posting in my name.
Why would he do this, well for a start I am one of his fiercest critics and have made my feelings about him known across the internet, secondly as he is not the most intelligent person in the world and he is obviously getting worried about being taken to court (again) he thinks he can use my name and reputation to spread disinformation and save his skin. Sorry Simon but it will not work, everyone knows about you and my thoughts on you are well documented, so no one will believe that I have changed my opinion so dramatically.
So Simon Allso and Ingrid Allso, stop posting in my name, give us our money back and admit your crime, but you are not man enough to do this are you?
Peace
Tariq
Ok, I can’t check who is who, but I can give this information:
Tariq, who commented Apr 12, 2010 – 10:50 am has accessed my website from PORTSMOUTH, UK
and Tariq who commented Apr 12, 2010 – 2:00 pm has accessed my website from NOTTINGHAM, UK.
Tariq Sorry Simon
I know how you construct a sentence and how you often throw in a word in uppercase and your frequent use of exclamation marks. I know you are simon Allso you used my surname as well as my first-name in an earlier posting do day, what a coincidence.
As for you saying “there is no point in chasing money when no crime has been committed and no fraud” you are the only person in the world with this opinion simon and pretending to be me is not going to change anyones opinion. How do you know that allso has not posted under other names?? and why when I and others have been trying to recover our money over a number of years has your name not appeared anywhere. Over to you Simon
Peace
Tariq
Mr Tariq Allso
Not only do you use both my names and claim it is only a coincidence but you appear you be very supportive of Allso/BBTL, again you are the only person to hold this opinion.
You also claim to have lost money with Allso/BBTL but think it was all above board and you claim no crime was committed. When you were in prison for fraud simon did you think you were on holiday, or did you acknowledge your crimes. Lets us all look at the evidence, my early postings on this site are in tone the same as my recent postings, yours are the complete opposite, you must think we are fools. Why doesn’t Milen check my email address with my first and last posting, they are the same.
Peace
T
Tariq Allso ladies and gentlemen would like us to think that Simon allso in an Angel and that there are two people called Tariq Ali that were both customers on BBTL, that both lost money to this alleged fraud and both ended up on this website, wow that is really incredible. “Guys is also a favorite Allso expression. Simon you really must try harder.
T
Simon Allso
It is typical of you to ignore questions when you dont have any answers, it is also like you to insult someone that is getting close to exposing you. Please feel free to call me any name you wish simon, we are on this website to try and find help and justice, you are, as you have on other sites I have been associated with, here to cause trouble and disrupt this forum. I will not reply to you anymore. I think people can judge who is who for themselves, so you just carry on Simon/Ingrid
That folks was my last message to convicted fraudster Simon Allso.
The man that was sentenced to Four years in Prison for Fraud.
Hi Tariq
I see that Allso / Kohli are again trying to sabotage th BBTL victims forum, Simon allso is a compulsive liar that would like us to believe that BBTL were capable of building hundreds of houses in a year, when Vladaya should have shown them they were not capable of building one house in three years. They blame the banks, while many of us were told BBTL didnt need banks,
Simon’s only explanation of how the buildings were to be financed were to build ten and then refinance. He doesnt aknowledge that using his rediculous financial plan, meant that building hundreds of houses in this mannner would have taken decades , not months.
Simon Allso is a complete fool, with no morals. He has yet to come up with a viable explanation how so many houses were to be built with very little money.
All his outragous claims are not backed with any evidence, just the rantings of a madman.
We have found some suspicious comments that are trying to flame this blog, therefore those comments have been unapproved and they will not show here.
Milen
I am sure just because there are two people with the same name – one who disagrees with the others actions and comments – it is not ’suspicious’
It is just two opposing views that I am sure you can understand as a lawyer
If you wish to e-mail me privately I will give you my Client reference of BBTL
My points are vaild in that these people on here are convinced that there is a ‘fraud’ when in fact it seems that the company just ran out of cash like others around the world an hundreds in Bulgaria
Hopefully, they will come back!!
Simon Allso just does not get it does he. We all know it is him and his posts have been removed from this blog as he has made a fool of himself here today (not the first time in recent months Mr Allso has done so) I think he must have had some kind of mental breakdown as he no longer makes sense.
Despite this blog being run by a Lawyer, Allso is trying to convince everyone that no offense was committed. He really is not in full control of his faculties, I almost feel sorry for him.
Now be a good boy Simon and leave us alone. It has been made very clear that you are not wanted here, now go.
Simon Allso has made some outrageous claims over the past years, apparantly in 2007, with clients on books for TWO years, money running out, and building permission for 23 houses, he still couldnt accept that they were any more than 4 months behind schedule.
So lets analyse this he is saying, that BBTL were going to complete Vladaya, sell it, obtain planning permission for Petarch, build 20 houses, complete them, sell them , build another 20, sell them build another 20, complete them, build another 20, buy more land, obtain further planning permission, build another 20, sell them…….. until 500 houses had been complete.
He expects as to believe this, along with that he was imprisoned for being a director… nothing else.
I find it more logical to beleive that the convicted fraudster Simon Allso, a man known for setting up companies as vehicles for fraud, got to together with another deviant, Anil Kohli, and then tricked hundreds of clients out of money on the FALSE PROMISE of 100% finance. Simon Allso didnt care if most clients lost their mony, or a large portion of it,
He then tried to hide this blatant fraud with outrageous claims, with little in the way of proof
Hello
I see peace has returned, perhaps Allso got the point.
Peace to you all
Tariq
I see that the other tariq, the lone one believes that BBTL is a legitimate organisation, accessed the internet in southhampton.
Wow, doesnt Simon Allso live in Andover – bordering southampton
what a coincidence.
just to let you know milen i have proof where my money ended up .. i have a scanned copy which my agent sent me .this shows him paying my investment less commision into bbtl ood s bank account …..will this help … much would it cost to take these fraudsters to court …
I just sent this email to Robert Gavin of property horizons
So Robert
what is happening with the two deceptions that you sold on behalf of Anil Kohli, Petarch and Mira Rd
During 2005, 2006,2007 Simon Allso and Anil Kohli were unable to secure any more than a ?300,000 bank loan, and the money decieved from 200 clients
Apparantly much of this money was spent on having the best offices, Jeeps / warehouses, and large portions of the money
was transferred to Kohli / Allso their families and their associates. Tim Mannion would have known about the payments.
After 2 years of not securing sufficient funds, BBTL and its agents still continued with the deception about providing
clients with 100% finance,
Simons allso’s argument seems to centre on ‘but we want to build hundreds of houses’
What he cant seem to grasp is that telling people you can build 100’s of houses in a short period of time requireslarge amounts of capital , sufficient building permission and resources , know how. No wonder many of
Anil Kohli deceived me over transfer of funds to off plan property and now how turned the situation around in his twisted mind to somehow make out I am the cause of this, yet in two years he failed to sign the contract.
This whole episode has been a complete farce, has caused devistation to many people, and I dont want these people to get away with it
In order to avoid further bad publicity for yourself, how do you propose we move forward,i am not willing to let this rest, these bastards have taken away any chance of building up a new life,
and I know I am just one of many victims, and we can guess that they continue to rip people off
I feel that Steve Hodgson knows more than he is saying, he told me that I was buying into the first phase of Petarch and Vladaya was built
he then blamed this on BBTL, but then told me we should trust these people and that I should expect 14 properties by the end of 2007,
these were to be built at the 3rd development!!!, meanwhile Kohli and Allso were burning their way through the little money that was left.
Phil,
I first heard about BBTL and the 100% mortgage it was offering with the Vladaya Project via the mybulgaria website in January 2006.
The scheme seemed to good to be true so I went to visit BBTL in The World Trade Centre Sofia.
Here I met Simon Also for the first time. I only had 30 mins to spare since my flight out of Sofia was approaching. Simon Also said he would get his main agent in the UK to contact me on my return to England. Tim mannion phoned me the next day. I asked Tim Mannion where was the funds coming from to support the scheme offered by BBTL. He said from a very wealthy English individual. He missled me into believing that bank lending was not required by BBTL. This shows that Tim Mannion was plotting this scam with Simon Also right from the start.
Tim Mannion told me he had 10 properties on the 100% finance scheme, and Steve Hodgson 4 properties, I have seen allocation list, all lies. I have also seen some notes written by an employee of BBTL, believe it was Jacqui, she mentioned about a customer complaining, and was concerned that they may start ‘digging’. Anil Kohli can be found at 19 church avenue, SW14. Yes, he lived well on OUR money, kids in private schools, big weddings abroad, expensive houses, Simon Allso driving around in lexus. yes, they enjoyed our money.
Steve Hodgson, where is he now, supporting his clients ?
Robert Gavin, Tim Mannion ?
My e mail facility from home is currently down. However I can be reached at 118 Grange Road Newark Notts NG24 4PW. I first saw this project in Peter Parfitts publication. Alan Forsyth was the instigator and as far as I can remember he failed to mention that he was just a front man. The immpression was and his follow up literature backed this up, he was the main party. It was only after things appeared to be going wrong that he turned round and said he was just a humble agent and he too had lost money. I have subsequently learned of all the scamming that has been going on. I went for Alan Forsyth mainly because he failed and he had several opporunities to come clean, to admit that we had all been had. All manner of excuses were used and I have them all in writing. Talk about contradictions. I am of the opinion these organisations like Forsyths should take the blame, because they too have deceived honest investors and are still not coming clean as to what really has gone down here.If what is being said is true and little or none of the fees left these shores, we all may make better progress seeking legal advice in the UK.
Could somebody contact me on this.
The agents are hoping that this will just blow over. Steve Hodgson sent out an email months ago, sad story of have nasty investors had abused him, and how he had no reason to believe that anything suspicious was happening. He seemed to have forgotten his bouts of aggressive behaviour and blaming BBTL for the BS information. Robert Gavin, Anil Kohli, Simon Allso and Steve Hodgson have all threatened me with legal action , in an attempt to shut me up. Alan forsyth lost his power of speech. Robert Gavin even had a testimonial on his site, praising his company and saying what a great investment the Bulgarian investment ( scam ) was, and what great due diligence property horizons did.
Simon Allso now now admits that I do have a genuine complaint, but now with him, but the company. Simon Allso seems not to take responsibility for the lies that pour out of his mouth on a daily basis. This was a pyramid scheme, destined to fail.
The agents seem more eager to go after the victims of the scam, then the perpetrators.
Robert, if you check with the insolvency group for buybulgaria, you will see how money was transferred into Ingrid Allso’s and other associates of Simon / Anil’s account. I wonder if Ingrid realises the lives her husband destroys in his quest for other peoples money. I wonder if she cares ?
My friend bought in Bulgaria through Alan Forsyth – he seems to have done most of he lsaes. I am a subscriber to his emails and it seems that he has totally ditched everyone considering how he promotes himself as a guru
I used to attend property seminars, and on a few occassions I heard Alan Forstyth being discussed, by different groups of people, and lets just say, they were not very complimentary.
This was not in connection with Alan Forstyths aiding two known fraudsters to sell a ‘pyramid scheme’ in Bulgaria.
I have been communicating with Simon Allso over the past years, it is plain to see that he is completely dillusional and his arguments are often insane, based on nothing and contradictory.
I have pointed out the blatant lies and inconsistancies over the years, Alan Forsyth has done nothing to help the victims of the scam or taking action against the fraudsters, he never replies to emails, but continues to blow his own trumpet, talking about how great he his.
I think it is time investors realised the risk they are taking whn dealing with Alan Forstyth and Robert Gavin. Although they both give away property courses, they do not seem to have the read the course themselves. They made so many errors with the selling of this scam, and even when the truth came to light, they still did nothing.
It is a shame with have not seen any of the customer service and due diligence that both Alan Forstyth and Robert Gavin like to praise themselves for,
Simon Allso tells me that his wife paid the taxes on the money transferred into her account from the allocation queue.
He describes the payment as ‘expense income’.
I have never heard the term ‘expense income’ before.
thought it was either expenses , or income. I would like to hear more from Mr Allso about how much ‘expense income’ his wife received and what she had done to earn this money. I hope that as an employee of BBTL, that she was registered. I know that she was a shareholder.
We have still not heard anything about our ?15,000 that we have lost. My nephew was our agent Ian Summers, how he could do this to family I do not know. Time is going by, there does not seem any hope of a refund.
Hi Janet
sorry to hear about your loss. I cannot believe that Simon Allso and Anil Kohli can get away with this, fortunately they chose the agents well. The agents are more concerned about their reputations then their clients money.
This is such a blatant scam. The insolvency report for buybulgaria shows how money was instructed to go to family and associates of Kohli and Allso.
It is a sickening feeling to know that money our money has helped to fund the lives of two low lifes.
Robert Gavin of Property Horizons, London, but formerly of “Invest-in-Sofia” has run for the hills! The dribble he lavished all over the Internet in ‘07 is laughable in it’s audacity!
Following that association, Robert loved his pal Kohli so much he took his advice & promoted the equally-silly “Pathways Properties” scam set this time in India. This was at the same time as it was blatantly obvious BBTL was very dubious.
Guru, Robert Gavin, is all over the ‘net with his greatness, but, take note: he does not believe in the well-known & prudent concept of DUE DILIGENCE. No, Robert has no time for this. Better for things to go pear-shaped first, then sort out the mess afterwards…oops no, he doesn’t even believe in acting for his clients afterwards. Beware.
**** Could it be that Robert Gavin was in on this scam from the beginning along with all the other “agents”?
AH
You cannot expect Robert Gavin to have time to do due diligence AND write up glowing ezine articles and testimonials about himself.
In the same way that Simon Allso believes he cannot be held accountable for the actions of his company, for the emails he writes, for the lies on his website and for the rubbish that pours out of his mouth on a daily basis, Robert Gavin feels that he cannot be held responsible for his total lack of due diligence.
From early 2007, it was apparant to many of us that the BBTL investment was just a scam, and that some serious questions had to be asked with regard to finance, building permission, resources.
Even the most elimentary of due diligence would have revealed a conspiracy, a pack of lies
Even with so many unanswered questions and the involvement of two criminals, Robert Gavin continued to sell this pyramid scheme, and then went onto sell for Anil Kohli again
It’s disgusting.
And Robert Gavin , you have the audacity to threaten me with legal action, shame you didnt have the guts to go after the real criminals.
mr AH
I challange you to a duel
I bet I can get more bad publicity about robert gavin and alan forsyth then yourself,
so , traffic geyser, link building and synnd to the ready
lets show the public the real alan forsth and robert gavin, whose after sales customer service is second to none, I mean whos after sales service is none
We now have another MP, Phillip Lee, a replacement to Andrew Mackay,
I have just wrote an email explaining how Anil Kohli and Simon Allso set up a pyramid scheme in Bulgaria and then siphoned money to send to their family and colleagues. And how Anil Kohli used pathway accounts to pay off his debts( another scam sold by steve hodgson and robert gavin )
If it’s any consolation to any of you lot, just think of Bernie Madoff in the US, the man who set up the greatest Ponzi Scheme of them all (even Kohli, Allso etc aspire, but failed, to be a villain of his magnitude)! “Madoff-With-The-Money” has been lounging in Jail for many months now. His freedom is taken away. He will not be remembering the good times he had with other innocent folk’s money now.
Toxic Twins & dastardly agents take note: the famous quote “live by the sword, die by the sword”.
If this man, Robert Gavin, of Property Horizons, London, but formerly of “Invest-in-Sofia”, Barnsley, is a “property guru”, given his diasatrous involvement with the evil Anil Kohli – on not one but TWO Ponzi Schemes – is it not better for the innocent, hard-working investor to totally ignore the Guru & instead use his common sense or consult the man in the street? For sure, he would be better off & safer to do this. He may even end up owning a house with his investment intact! Unlike flushing ?5000 down the toilet with Robert Gavin.
Last I heard, the aforementioned Robert Gavin, of Property Horizons (former BBTL evangelist) was flying out Brits to Ghetto town, Detroit, USA. As if the poor folks of this Credit Crunch-hit city hadn’t had enough of financial vipers along comes another manipulator to make things even worse, not to mention the potential fates of British suckers who made a Transatlantic trip.
But was a man behind the scenes a certain, notorious Anil Kohli (aka “Scumdog Millionaire”)?
Scammers move from one scam to the next.
The one that got away?
I am talking about a certain persuasive, charming-but-deadly, BBTL newsletter-writing Bulgarian, Miss Iva Tetradova, the evil Sales Manager at the end of the phone when the IT Dept managed to get hold of her.
Is she the one that got away Scot-free?
I just had the police around, I think that a certain person is feeling threatened , perhaps if feels it unfair that he is not allowed to spend my families money in peace. This person feels that BBTL was a legitimate business, no doubt he felt the same about sturmen archer and the Buzwell group. Apparantly he had been told by the contractors ( or the fixers and the architects, depending on the day ) that BBTL could build ten houses in a week. The policeman did say that it is possible to build 10 properties in a week, as long as they are wooden sheds.
It was an interesting meeting, i had to admit to the formal director every name under the sun. But I have been advised we should persue the BBTL pyramind scheme further through the police force. Apparantly this may actually be a criminal case, and not civil.
Just need to speak to the right department.
Need to persue this use of pathway property accounts, nitya holdindgs, to pay off BBTL debts.
Anyway, I am thinking of setting up a company, we will set up the main company abroad, it is going to be a holiday company. We are going to charge clients ?5000, and they can fly abroad in the company plane and then stay at the company hotels in the Caribbean, they will be picked up by company rolls royce.
Have we got the planes, hotels, rolls royces, yes, yes , yes, well no, but we want to have planes, hotels etc. If the business fails we can blame it on the financial state of the economy.
Just need the right sort of people to sell it, What is Steve Hodgson and Robert Gavin upto these days.
Meanwhile I can syphon the money off and give it to my family and colleagues and call it expense income. And if anyone gets annoyed, I will get the police after them. I can maybe start a business of destroying family businesses, perhaps Kohli can join in.
Cops & robbers. It would be funny if it didn’t hurt like a hole in the head. Personally I think they are both as bad & inept as each other!
Law? What Law? Law to protect the scammer, fraudster, smooth-talking snake who steals from the innocent, hard-working dreamer who wants a better life.
Clint Eastwood used to be my hero – Bounty Hunter, man-of-the people, justice-maker, Redeemer…. then I discovered Jesus Christ.
Here’s another one about Robert-I-Am-A-Black-Hole-For-Your-Cash-Gavin;
In September 2008 (when I had a bad feeling in my stomach about BBTL) I attended one of his invitations to ANOTHER scam event – to sniff him out (he wasn’t there). Don’t believe me? Two weeks ago I spoke on the phone to a lady (who was also at the event in a swanky hotel in Wellington St., Leeds) who revealed a real shocker to me. Herself & her son had subsequently invested around ?80k in a dumb Hurricane Katrina-hit / New Orleans Delta Region revival (US Govt.) scheme for investors & new housing projects never to be seen again. Apparantly, it was a real Mafia-style operation with great planning, wealth on display, hospitality & deception.
At the heart of this scheme was a great deceiver who is now on the run!
******** How come both Alan Forsyth & Robert Gavin had people at that event? Where corrupt is corrupt goes.
No, I didn’t invest. I was on a plane to Australia the next day.
Cops & robbers. It would be funny if it didn’t hurt like a hole in the head! Think they are both as bad & inept as each other.
Law? What Law? Law which protects the scammer, fraudster & smooth-talking snake? What about Law to protect the innocent hard-working dreamer who wants to make a better life for himself / herself?
Clint Eastwood used to be my hero. Bounty Hunter, Redeemer, man-of-the-people, justice-maker. Then I discovered Jesus Christ.
If it’s any consolation for any of you lot, just think of Bernie Madoff. The Ponzi King, Bernie “Made-Off-With-The-Money” has been lounging in a US Jail for many months now. The greatest scammer of them all (even Kohli & clan aspired, but failed to be a villain of his magnitude) has had his freedom taken away from him. He will not be remembering now the great times he had spending innocent victims’ hard-earned money.
Take note, Toxic Twins: the famous phrase “live by the sword, die by the sword”.
Dastardly BBTL agents: why do you put distance between yourselves & the Toxic Twins? Were you not in bed with them when they initiated these plans of evil? Did you not follow them into their next Ponzi Scheme? What about “after-sales care” for your clients who trusted your lies? Does the concept of Due Diligence mean anything to you? There is no need when all you are after is a quick buck, right?
Robert Gavin, did you not write tomes of halleucegenic material about yourself & the beauty of BBTL in ‘07? Were any of your Testimonials from clients real people? Or did you shell out for a Copywriter to write all that BS?
Robert Gavin, of Property Horizons, London, lost ?20,000 of his own money as an investor in the Bulgarian property scam he propagated all over the Web for his pal, Anil Kohli! That’s right. According to Robert, he was so in love with the BBTL concept he invested 4 x ?5000 into it himself!
Can it really be true? Robert, if you’d invested ?20k of your own money into this scheme & watched it go belly-up just like the rest of us, would you not vigorously pursue these swines like the rest of us here (even join this Forum?) to get your money back?
I don’t believe it, Robert, unless you are a very rich man, that you would scoff & not even worry about a mere ?20k of your own money gone down the toilet! No, my view is this is another lie set up as a smokescreen to deceive further.
In fact, here it is: the only reason I invested ?5k of my precious money into this pit was because if a “property Guru” like you is investing in BBTL, then it must be a real money-earner! How wrong I was.
Robert Gavin of Property Horizons, London, is a betting man. It’s true! I will explain.
Robert invested 20k GBP of his own money into the dumb BBTL scam he promoted in ‘07. But as I explained previously in this space, Robert does NOT carry out DUE DILIGENCE on his property investments for HIMSELF or his clients. No, Robert is a betting man & believes he will be more successful this way! Why waste time on Due Diligence?
You see, when asked how this plan of investment with my money, other people’s money, & his own money had gone so wrong – Robert’s answer was: “this is no different from when you book a holiday & the holiday company goes bust. We accept no responsibilty”. Well, thanks Robert, you stupid xxxx!
So, to sum up: Robert Gavin, the Director & Founding Partner of Property Horizons attributes his investment success to a philosophy & mentality of a betting man, who takes his chances with his money on the horses or greyhounds without doing any research! I don’t think a wise man, or self-made millionaire would do that!
Or could it be that this is all a smokescreen & Robert makes his money by creaming off from the innocent & teaming up with renowned scammers like Kohli & Allso?
Oh dear Mr AH
you will be getting a visit from the police or threats from Rob-u-blind-gavin.
The convicted fraudster and twice banned Mr Allso tells me it was a legitimate scheme.
when they talk about financing, you build ten houses , refinance, build another ten, refinance, build another 10 ( and throw in some ski chalets and a sports centre).. refinance, build another 10 ….. until you have built 500 , should take a year, if not sooner
Now , when talking about timescales, just buy the land and build all the houses at once.
give it to rob-u-blind-gavin, property expert, who will write an ezine talking about how successful he is, put up a testimonial about how his company does not just write 70 page glossy reports without doing due diligence, and then go out and write a 70 page glossy report without doing any due diligence.
we all make mistakes, so did rob-u-blind gavin learn from his multitude of mistakes, whats that Tim Mannion, you have another Anil Kohli investment, I shall start writing my ezines and glossy magazine straight away,
at the end of the day, it was rob-u-blind gavins customers were to blame, nobody could predict that two fraudsters, siphoning money from the allocation queue, couldnt build hundreds of houses in a year , with little money and sod all building permission and land.
Rob-U-Blind-Gavin, the Director & Founding Partner of Property Horizons, London. I like this name – it is simple, very illustrative, & is better than the posh title which really doesn’t mean diddly squat.
For those who may be getting confused reading this:
*** Rob-U-Blind-Gavin is also known as
Robert-I-Am-A-Black-Hole-For-Your-Cash-Gavin.
Anyone want to buy a house in Detroit, USA?

I forgot about the Webcam! There was a webcam placed strategically at the proposed BBTL building site just to add “validity” to Kohli’s dumbass scam.
In 1-12 months of watching that thing (no, I only checked it 3 times, that was enough for me) I think I may have seen one man, but even he wasn’t working.
No, this was no hive of industrial activity. If you were lucky you might catch the wind blowing a piece of garbage…..
I found this article, it sheds light on the moral depravity displayed by Mr Allso.
n both July and August, Sturmey-Archer paid its new parent company, Lenark, ?60,000 in management fees. Sturmey-Archer also paid ?52,000 to another Lenark Group company, Hawson Limited. According to the liquidator’s report, Simon Allso persuaded Mary Waring, one of the new non-executive executors to authorise this payment, advising her that Sturmey-Archer directors Bateman and Smith had approved it. They had not and were not even aware of the transaction. It later emerged that Simon Allso, a former bankrupt, had previously been involved in a large number of business failures in southern England and had been imprisoned for fraud.
Fellow “victim” of BBTL fraud, Robert Gavin of Property Horizons, London, refuses our invitation to present his case on this forum.
As documented previously in this space, the Director & Founding Partner of the company, formerly known as “Invest-in-Sofia”, reckons that he, too, put down 20k GBP of his own money into the dumbass Kohli scam & watched it all go belly-up!
But he has no interest in getting his money back. Strange really. Or this a smokescreen to deflect from his insider deal with Kohli & Allso, Mannion?
Hello Folks.
Please visit this Allso, BBTL blog. http://bulgariabtl.blogspot.com/
Like this site they are doing a great job in trying to allert people to the issues with Simon Allso and BBLT. They need our contributions.
Peace to you all
Tariq
I have trouble understanding the laws of the country, two criminals set up a scam company in Bulgaria, every claim made by BBTL was a lie, the lies got worse as time went on. The agents that sold this deal must know that they were now selling a pyramid scheme, with two fraudsters siphoning the money away and distributing it amongst their family and associates.
the police do nothing against simon allso and anil kohli and then send a policeman around my house because I sent some abusive emails to the fraudster simon allso.
simon allso needs to be brought to justice, he is a liar, that holds no responsibility for the lies that come out of his mouth, he blames his actions on the ‘company’, what a coward.
Robert Gavin threatened me with legal action, and yet does nothing against the fraudsters How do you sleep at night robert gavin, you did not due diligence, and even when their was undeniable evidence that BBTL was a scam, you continued selling it, and then went on to sell another Tim Mannion scam, again with no due diligence. Where do your testimonials come from robert gavin, like the one praising your company for the bulgarian investment ????
I am going to get even with you Allso and Kohli.
Robert Gavin , you are going to see your name more and more on the search engines, the public need to be warned about the type of investments you sell, and the sort of after sales service they will receive…. none
Hi All – I found this site as one of mye firends invested with BBTL. I have to say though that you seem to be blaming the agents rather than the developers – apart from getting revenege of the agents you are just coming acorss as irrational. My friend invested in Alan Forsyth who seems to be not mentioned here much even though he seems to have sold the most according to my friend. Phil did he pay you off to not mention his name? AS I said guys this is just my two cents but rather than trying to get revenge of the agents should you not be trying to sort out things legalls with teh developers who you seem to hold less of a grudge against?
Tariq and Andy,
Simon Allso was getting quite upset with the abusive emails I sent him, so please do not send emails to simon@allso.net abusing him and I definitely do not encourage everybody you know to send him emails, it would just be wrong,
I just wonder how the police would cope if everyone that hated him sent him abusive emails. The police may actually start to think that Simon Allso is the guilty party.
remember, the profits that were distributed amongst his family and colleagues was ‘expense income’
remember, if Simon Allso is suddenly hit with lots of emails, this could be distressing, and we cannot have that, it will distract him from spending our families money.
And please do not start submitting articles to article directories and blogs , and forums , highlighting the appalling way in which the agents handled this matter.
well happy birthday to me, I would just like to say a special hello to Steve Hodgson, no wonder you have gone into hiding. I dont know how you can live with yourself.
Dear Robert Gavin, please don’t write about yourself on the same level as Donald Trump. I don’t believe that this proper Real Estate businessman ever told anyone a bunch of lies.
You see, Robert, I know you check your rankings on Google, Yahoo & Bing, every other day, but, this forum highlighting your deficiencies & the following URL from ‘07 still spring up much to your annoyance:
http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/bulgaria-property/1585-100-mortgaes-bulgaria.html
But the public & the Police deserve to know the truth about you, BBTL, & the lies you have been spreading with this clever technology callled the Internet.
Even on that old posting, an astute gentleman writes:
“your material posted sounds like it has been written by someone who does this for a living”. He means a Copywriter. So, did you write it or did you hire someone to write it?
Rob-U-Blind-Gavin, it is time to come clean. Your business ethics are questionable.
100% mortgages in Bulgaria. Yeah, right.
20k GBP of your own money invested in BBTL. Yeah, right.
But did you cut a nice deal with Kohli, Allso, Mannion? That sounds more plausible.
Ring, ring…. “Hello, BBTL, Sofia”
“Hello I am an investor with BBTL. Can I speak to Iva Tetradova, your Sales Manager”
“I am sorry she is not here, ring back later”.
2 hours or one month later – same deal.:
Ring, ring…. “Hello, BBTL, Sofia”
“Hello I am an investor with BBTL. Can I speak to Iva Tetradova, your Sales Manager”

“Can I speak to her manager?”
Pause….. “This is the IT Dept not the Sales Dept”
“O.K. What is the name of her boss?”
“He has had a heart attack & no longer works here. We have new boss”
“O.K. What is his name? Can I speak to him?”
Long pause. “He is not here”
“Where is he?”
“He is travelling”
(I have visions of this goon in the south of France spending all my money)
“What is his name?”
Long pause…… “Anil Kohli. Ring back in 4 weeks on his return”
…… 4 weeks later…..
Ring, ring…. “Hello, BBTL, Sofia”

“Can I speak to Anil Kohli?”
“I am sorry he is not here”
(Still spending my money but this time in Spain)
“Where is he? Does he ever return to his office??!!”
Long pause…… “He is in England”
“What??!!”
“Yes, he lives in England”
“When is he back in Sofia?”
“Nobody knows. Ring back in 4 weeks”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Robert Gavin of Property Horizons you have some explaining to do, I think.
Rob-U-Blind-Gavin, the finger of suspicion is pointing at you. Why did you not tell me the manager of BBTL lived in UK? If I knew that I wouldn’t have been going round in circles!!!!! Are you in bed with him?????!!!
The dumbass reply from ***** Gavin of “Invest-in-Sofia”?
“Oh, I am very sorry about this. Give Nirmala Sanuasse a ring at Pathway Properties. Here is her tel no. She knows the whereabouts of Anil Kohli”.
Pathway Properties? Isn’t that the dumbass Indian property scam (also conceived by Scumdog Millionaire) that you also tried to get me to buy into *****?!! Not just me, but all my friends too???!!
Then the bombshell…… On calling the deceptive Sanuasse (all sweet & roses) I learn that Pathways has gone into administration & is being liquidated! Is there a pattern developing here???!!!
Then – I type into Google “Anil Kohli”. Oh xxxxx
******* Gavin & Kohli, what are you upto???! Then I discover about the lovely Simon Allso & Tim Mannion…..
Read about the nasty developments at Pathway Properties here:
http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/india-property/11248-mira-road-pathway-developers.html#post95102
The evil Anil Kohli. Where is he now?
Phil I have just looked at this? Is this true?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1197541/I-didnt-think-I-committing-crime.html
I have to say – you sounds like a hyppocrit if it is true as you were caught for mortgage fraud!
Does anybody know in which court the Simon Allso trial took place? I would like an anwswer ASAP. Thank You.
From the BBC News website today. Now there are similarities in this case and ours. We must, repeat must insist that the Police FSA loot at the BBTL con on our behalf.
Peace to you all

Three men accused of running what is alleged to be the UK’s largest Ponzi scheme have been ordered to pay ?115m to the financial regulator.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) said it hoped to return any money it retrieves to investors.
However, it said those who had lost money were unlikely to be repaid.
John Anderson, Kautilya Nandan Pruthi and Kenneth Peacock were arrested last year on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud, and money laundering.
They are also being investigated over alleged fraud by misrepresentation.
In a High Court hearing, the three men were found to have taken deposits from investors without authorisation from the FSA.
The ruling follows another High Court judgement on 25 March that ordered Mr Pruthi to pay ?90m, Mr Anderson ?13m and Mr Peacock ?11m.
Police are still investigating the high-yield scheme in which hundreds of investors, including sports stars and celebrities, collectively invested ?84m into Knightsbridge-based Business Consulting International.
The company offered investors returns of up to 13% a month. It said it would lend money to distressed companies that needed short-term cash and were willing to pay high interest rates on it.
Hi Guys
I think its time to stop wasting your time on these forums. Simon allso and Anil Kohli are laughing at you, you are wasting your time, while they spend your money.
You are no threat to them, I bet Simon Allso is chuckling to himself, knowing that he has got away with your families money, under the noses of the authoroties.
The question you have to ask, is are you going to let him get away with it ?
Involved watchdog, trading standards, or write to Phillip Lee, MP for Bracknell, I will be having a meeting with him, put your case forward, keep it simple , factually based and to the point.
I suggest we go after the agents, they are far more vunerable to negative comments, as robert gavin has revealed.
Agents deserve scrutiny & rounding up, I agree.
There is one other thing about “heart attack” victim, BBTL partner-in-crime, Simon Allso. How convenient that this snake had a “heart attack” just when the heat was turning up on the scam. I think we should examine his medical records at the time of the alleged health scare.
Anything these goons do – there is a reason why! Smokescreen, smokescreen.
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to track down Mr Steve Hodgson. If anyone can give me me any pointers, it would be most appreciated? he’s proving a tad difficult to find but I am sure he has not gone far.
Hi Indy,
I would also like to know the where abouts of****** Hodgson, although some may believe he is an innocent party, I know that he is far more involved than he makes out.
He continually ignored the obvious and always sided with the fraudsters Simon Allso and Anil Kohli, supporting their rediculous claims and not questioning the blatant lies.
During 2007, Steve told me stories of how millionaire indians were financing this deal. He knows for sure now that everthing was lies, and yet he does nothing against his chums Simon Allso and Anil Kohli,
Steve is , what 6ft 6, and allows the diminutive Allso to push him around, what is going on there.
Please let us know if you track down ****** Hodgson, he must have made 1/2 million for Kohl/ Allso, plus the money in the pathways scam.
Slippery property scam salesman, Robert *****, of Property Horizons, why did you change your company’s name from “Invest-in-Sofia”? Did you want to take the heat off yourself when the cops start sniffing around asking about your close involvement with Anil Kohli & Tim Mannion?
Robert, we have invited you to present your case on this forum but you seem reluctant. I wonder why? Tell us about Tim Mannion also.

Hello My Good Friends
Please be on the look out for a company called smart way advertising. It is owned by, yes you guessed it, ex prisoner and convicted fraudster Simon Allso. I hope Allso that you are running this new venture legally, because we will be monitoring it via Google and reporting any breaches we find so all can see. You can contact Simon Allso (ex jailbird and convicted fraudster) at: simon@smartwayadvertising or info@smartwayadvertising
Peace to you all

simon@smartwayadvertising.co.uk, sorry.
How can Simon Allso be possibly allowed to run a company. The man is repulsive. He lies, lies , scams is a parasite, lies more, hides behind his actions by blaming the ‘company’, says his health is poor, and then continues to run more companies ?
He makes me feel phsically sick,
you are a coward Allso, a parasite,
Steve Hodgson, have you seen the damage that Simon allso does to peoples lives, is it because you know that you lied in order to sell this scam that you do not lift a finger to help us , still hiding are you,

More old psycho-babble here:
On 7 Jun 2008, , Iva Tetradova, Sales Manager for BBTL in Sofia, Bulgaria, wrote:
“to those who wish to cancel, we would like to inform you that until completion of the restructuring our standard Cancellation policy will be suspended and instead the clients will recieve a full refund. Upon completion of the company’s re-structuring we will be able to provide more details about this process”.
Finally caught up with the swine, Anil Kohli. Actually got him on the phone in Sept ‘08. I remember it clearly. It was the day the news broke about the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the U.S., then all hell broke loose on the world markets. Credit Crunch. Another nice convenient response for our snake scammers. Then they pretended just to be another respectable business having hard times with the banks.
Got this crap reply from the Master-of-Lies, himself:
we are currently negotiating with two parties regarding the sale of our developments.It is a very frustrating time due to the state of the market and we have had several false starts.We are only in a position to do refunds ,once we confirm a sale.
We will keep you abreast of how things proceed.
Regards
Anil***** <<———- MORE LIES!!!!!
Meanwhile what was slippery scam salesman, Rob-U-Blind-Gavin, of Property Horizons, London, upto?
He was still putting distance between himself & Scumdog Millionaire & claiming to be a victim himself. His favourite tactic? Delay mechanisms he learn’t from Kohli. “Our Lawyers are looking at this”. His lawyers would be forever looking at this
Did you pay them a fortune, Robert? I know you are a rich man & like throwing your money away like a gambling man. Afterall, you did invest 20k GBP of your own money in BBTL without doing any Due Diligence.
Now sabotaged (& useless since the owner sold out due to pressure from agents), for the record, Forum online has developed going 7 pages deep since 2006 at: http://www.eyeonworldwide.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8737
Rob-U-Blind-Gavin, of Property Horizons, London. You are the Founding Partner & Director of your company (nice important title for you), please tell us what the findings of your Lawyers looking at the Bulgarian scam? Unlike you, Robert, I like openess & honesty. Also, I firmly believe that a man who hides behind lawyers IS NOT A MAN AT ALL.
Your Lawyers looked at this long enough & you paid them their nice hefty fees, but what was their conclusion? You can tell us, Robert.
Just curious but why didn’t you appoint your fancy Lawyers to defend my case (& others like me) who you sucked into this ugly mess?
You really love your testimonials, don’t you Robert?
http://www.propertyhorizons.co.uk/testimonials.html
Smokescreen again??!! Maybe Robert Gavin never even commissioned his Lawyers??!! Delay tactics. Ah yes, you learned that from Kohli, his favourite trick.

Hello.
I recently found this forum on a Google search, has anyone noticed that when one types simon allso into google it automatically gives you an option of simon allso fraud, i nearly wet myself.
Anyway thanks for the police contact in Andover. I have just got off the phone to them and they were most helpful and are arranging a visit from an officer from my local force so i can give a statement. I can not say too much about about my conversation but it appears the police are putting together a case for prosecution, at long last something positive is happening.
Please make that call to the Police.
Good Luck
Frank
For the record: in 2007, Rob-U-Blind-Gavin of Property Horizons, London, believed so passionately in propagating the BBTL bullxxx all over the Web, that he shelled out for Pay Per Click advertising with Google! That’s right. Robert loved this silly Bulgarian property Buy-To-Let on 100% mortgages scam so much, not only did he heavily promote using false testimonials in article directories etc, but he paid out to Google for PPC, as well as putting 20k GBP of his own money into the scheme he got from Kohli. Now that is a believer! Or was he trying to fool you & me?
Hi

Hello My Friends
I would like you all to follow the link below. It is a new article about the dubious business practices of Simon Allso (convicted fraudster and barred director). He is helping to spread more misery and destruction and appears to be getting away with it, or is he!!. Please read the article .

Thanks Tariq
I am trying to post some comments on the newspaper article
Hello.
More news from the front. Ingrid Allso is making news as well as convicted fraudster husband Simon Allso, in the following news story from the Mail.
Peace to you all
Tariq
GADFLY’S old chum Simon Allso, we hear, is sufficiently recovered from the heart attack that made him abandon his Bulgarian buy-to-let venture to return to British business. As customers try to recover their ?5,000 deposits from Anil Kohli, his colleague in the oddly-fruitless Balkan enterprise, Allso, is, as they say, ‘moving on’.
A Midlands-based corporate adviser suggests he wants to buy businesses, and we learn his wife Ingrid has founded a franchise outfit called Smartway, which lets companies hire vehicles, rather than buy them, and put their logos on the side.
With Allso apparently involved in its running, what can possibly go wrong?
Rob-U-Blind-Gavin, of Property Horizons, London, is upto his old tricks again! The Director & Founding Partner of the ill-fated enterprise in Bulgaria, Invest-in-Sofia, is enticing poor suckers to promote his new. Detroit, USA, bargain property scheme.
That’s right, if you are daft enough you could do Robert’s dirty work for him & tell all your friends, family & associates about his latest deal & “get paid 2000 GBP” per sale. But what happens when it all goes sour like the Bulgarian Kohli scam, Robert? Then all these innocent well-meaning dreamers have completely sullied their reputations amongst their nearest & dearest!
Would you run for the hills then, Robert, or would you stand by & protect your new victims?
