I found a property online and contacted Joel D. Valencia of CEO Realty ( http:www.joeldvalencia.com ) ( http://www.ceorealty.com ) the property manager/agent of Mr. Freddy DeCordova of whom he later stated was also employed by his company when the business card of the owner Freddy DeCordova, in the CEO Realty office while signing the lease. At the time I thought it seemed shady but was confused about it and sort of blew it off.

2 hours after signing the lease i went to the condo association to pay my additional $1000 deposit. The Condo association stated I could not move in until the owner paid his delinquent condo fees. Immediately I was beginning to get concerned that I've rented from a deadbeat owner but at the time I wasn't really thinking about foreclosure, I wasnt too educated on the entire situation since I've never owned or wanted to own. After I continued to follow up and complain that I would get a lawyer and not move in, the fees were paid.

About a week after moving in, I noticed a combination lockbox near the entrance of my apartment which was locked. Assuming a key to my rental was in this lockbox I contacted Mr. Valencia asking for it to be removed by email. I kept all his emails.

He responded that he has no idea whose lockbox it was. I told him I wanted it removed while I was renting there and did not feel safe with a key to the unit right outside. Nothing happened and I sort of forgot about it", he continued.

2 months later an unknown real estate agent and prospective buyer entered my unit when I was in another room. The agent stated he received the lockbox combination from Joel D. Valencia of CEO Realty. I confronted Joel and he repeatedly denied ownership of the lockbox. I secured the key from the intruder and I recorded the lockbox registration number. I plan on reporting this to the florida real estate licensing board.

Then about 3 months after moving in my access to the entry gate key and amenities were revoked due to the fact he had not paid his condo fees in 3 months which I soon found out. At this time I contacted Joel Valencia, and he revealed that owner had not paid his mortgage in '3 months' and was not planning on paying condo fees or any future mortgage payments. I ended up having to deduct condo fees from my rental payments and pay themselves to allow my access to my property which I felt really uncomfortable doing this, it was also a huge inconvenience and I decided to stop the payments after paying them for 2 months and just pay my full rent directly to CEO Realty as was stated in the lease.

2 weeks ago I received a foreclosure summons stating the owner had not paid his mortgage since jan 08. I have recently had to obtain an attorney Peter Weintraub, Weintrab & Weintraub PA, Boca Raton, FL, to represent me in this foreclosure and possible eviction as I am withholding rent as of the date I received the foreclosure summons. 3 days after withholding rent I received a phone call from Joel telling me to 'pack my stuff I'll be out in 20 days cause he's filing an eviction'

This entire process has been a nightmare and I intend on fighting the eviction, even though I believe its just a threat, but I am doing everything in my power to get Mr. Joel D. Valencia's license revoked. This guy is scam artist and needs to be acted against. I am furious.

OOPS, correction. The unauthorized charges are for "$49.99 to $79.99" (not 449.99, that was a typo).

BEWARE!! STAY CLEAR OF THE ONLINE WEBSITE: ClassicCloseouts.com
They are a scam outfit. They also advertise on amazon and ebay and you may order an item from those websites, not realizing they are being sold by this company.
Once you purchase ANYTHING from them, they then have your credit card and personal info. Several months (to sometimes years) later, you card starts getting these unauthorized charges for anywhere from 449.99 to $79.99, every month until you notice and report it. Then when you try to have it charged back to them, they claim (to your card company) that it was for a 'sister website' that they sent an email to you, and that you allegedly clicked on and agreed to.
Of course this is completely bogus, but they 'claim' it anyway, since they already HAVE all your info. Then you must file a dispute with your card,etc. and it could take months to fix it. STAY CLEAR OF THESE SCAMMERS AND COMPANIES LIKE THEM, IT'S BECOME THE NEW SCAM ON THE NET. CHECK OUT ANY COMPANY FIRST THROUGH GOOGLE OR RIPOFFREPORT.COM...BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING!

Superstition Springs Honda 6229E Auto Park Dr. Mesa Az.

I won an Online auction for a SUV Isuzu Trooper and then the dealership did not honor my winning bid because they had a secrete reserve price that nobody was aware of. The starting price they sat was 1500.00 and the winning price was 1950.00 The dealership called to say that I won the SUV but within a hour later a manager called me and told me NO we have a reserve on it so I did not win. I ask why did you start the bidding out at 1500.00 and I could not get an answer from the manger. How dishonest is that. Please reconsider any dealings with this dealership because they are very are out to turn a fast buck at your expense. Dealer Fraud, Bait and switch, what every you call it.. Shame on you Superstitions Springs Honda Mesa AZ. Key words. Are Honda, Superstitions Springs Honda, Mesa Auto Dealers, Honda Dealers of Arizona. Honda used cars.

For anyone wanted to know the reasons why my profile is part of the R-O report.

It is simply called “VOS” Victim of Success or “TPS” Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Background information
I am a successful entrepreneur and extremely knowledgeable in the domain of branding, marketing, technology and digital space.

I have helped and participated to the growth of some major multinationals across the world for decades. My clients are companies like, Columbia Tri-star Films, Le Meridien Hotel Group, Meritus Hotel Group. Virgin Money, Oroton, Ferrari, Maserati, and the list goes on. All my life I have strived to deliver the most efficient services and in many cases completely e-transformed companies that I was involved with.

8 months after the 2001 tech crash an entire team of one of the top five legal firms and top five accounting firm spent one full month in my offices interviewing all of my 100 employees + and that after their due diligence I was still able to sell my business for $25M to a Dutch group, while everyone else in the space was worth nothing, that should tell you that I am not a fake.

I am entirely focused on building value services and helping my clients and anyone that I am involved with growing their business and they will all give you a testimonial of my ongoing personal support and commitment.

Robert Evans - Pass Along Concepts.

Robert is a marketer creating posters , classes and cards for "spiritual" businesses.

He does not deliver on what he promises. He has separated a lot of good people with high expectations from their money.

BEWARE!!!!!
