Were they based in San Pedro de Alcantara?  If is was them I think they were part of another company.

Let me know if it is them and I'll try and find out who they are/were for you.

RHH have taken my cash for a furniture pack and disappeared. I believe they were operating in San Pedro. I've also seen a suggestion that the same guys behind RHH are now running a new company named direct2investments so that they start swindling people all over again. Let me know if you catch up with them!

Regards,
Tim

I have done a little digging and it really does seem that the people operating this company are long gone.  I can't be sure where they are now.

An agent friend of mine even told me that they owed him money for clients he passed to them.

Tim, bankruptcy does exist in Spain.  It's called "quiebra".

furbs if you haven't spoken to a lawyer in Spain yet then it may be worth your while having a chat with Maria de Castro who is an excellent lawyer and contributor to EOS.  She may be able to advise what, if any, action you can take.

Best of luck with it.

Justin

Thanks for the info Justin.

Furbs -- Ive bought in Panorama Bansko, Bulgaria. I've now also seen suggestion that Norfolk Police are investigating the former Directors of RHH. I paid them through mastercard so will now try to pursue the matter through the credit card co.

Regards,
Tim

hi Justin

are you based in norfolk we are in cheshire?

it is a good point you mentioned i will report it to cheshire police at least then i have a crime number to work from in the 
UK!!!

have you personally reported it to the police? you are lucky that you paid by credit card possibly you will have some come back 
from that angle?

do you know any other clients who have lost money through red hot homes?

in bansko were they trading as red hot homes or the diamond experience?  also did you pay your money to a subsidary company within red hot homes callled BG legal services?

thanks

They had certainly set up in bulgaria as TDE, not sure about RHH which were registered both in Spain and UK (along with their other guise of Worldwide Legal Services). They appear to have left a complicated structure of registered co's behind like seasoned money launderers. 

I'm not sure if I'll be covered by credit card, especially since one of the pymts went through HIFX and it may be deemed that the only thing bought was euros and that had been delivered, even if it was sent straight to the criminal's account (!). There is at least one other person in your situation who has posted in another forum I use (Talk Bansko). I imagine there are many others. There you will also find a post from a former employee of RHH who claims to have left the co. in summer of 2007 when he realised that they were intent on defrauding clients. He also claims that they (The Devlins) have done the same thing before with a co. named something like 'Gold Coast Properties('?)

Yes Tim, they used to work for "Golden Coast Estates" who had a truly dreadful reputation.  They had to shut down even during the boom period.  I think it was about 4 years ago.

I note that there is now an application to have the co. struck off in the UK. These guys shouldn't be allowed to set up again, although I understand they might have already. I'm not sure whether to offer info to Norfolk police or wait and see what the cc company suggest.

I don't know this for certain, but posts on a different forum (talk Bansko) suggest this is the case. It does seem likely since the reg. office of RHH UK was in Norwich. The posts are from someone else who appears to have been defrauded by RHH on their final pymt - I assume this is your position (?).
