Solicitors and Developers Eavesdropping!
Thursday, January 20, 2011 @ 7:48 PM
The forum we have for our Inroal Developments communications was set up by someone who used to run a site called Terque.com. This site was shut down and the names were transferred to the forum.
Most of the people on the forum are buyers who have lost money since the properties were not built as planned.
We have been using that forum to communicate and agree what action we should be taking. For a while though there has been some suspicion that Solicitors and the Developer involved in the law suits have been monitoring the activity although never responding...eavesdropping I suppose.
Well today I got the confirmation from one of the solicitors who phoned up from an office that I don't normally deal with. She said that I should be careful what I post on the forum in case it compromises our situation. This response was because I had posted a copy of a letter from one of their offices in response to people asking me for an answer to a question.
I am now thinking about setting up a separate forum. There are some ways that you can make these private as well so that only those registered as members can join up. I think this is the best answer to this situation. There are settings that can be made to prevent non-forum members form reading posts.
We have used the other site for such a long time now but I think it has come to the point where we have to move away from there. I will have to be careful when I sign any others from outside the present group in case in future the solicitors and developer tries to get access to this information flow again!
