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

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

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

I have been trying to get in contact with Paragon Properites of Costa Rica. No one answers. The Costa Rica phone number is disconnected. I called the registered agent in Florida. He informed me that Paragon Properties of Costa Rica is out of business, and that he had heard of several lawsuits.
Any one have any updates?
