When Egyptians make derogatory posts on forums regarding investors and the agents who are trying to help them get their properties or money back from the crooked system, there must be an ulterior motive here.
As I read these insults, I can only believe they are posted from a Mubarak sympathiser, a family member of those who face criminal proceedings or developer that has lots to lose when they are being exposed as fraudsters.
As the Devil's Advocate informing everyone what's actually going on in Egypt, it seems the truth must be hurting those who don't wish to hear it.

Hey you took the words right out of my mouth!!!
IF at the start of the boom people were straight about procedure in buying,Lawyers did not work for estate agents and all the rubbish that follows then I am sure that many owners would NEVER has purchased in this country.They should come to our COUNTRY and see how it works over here,
You start paying extra the minute you book your flights -the visa you are not told about until you are onboard.On arrival trying to find a booth that will not rip you off-a lot of tourists do pay extra for their visa -no receipt except stamp.
Outside unless pre-booked another rip off scam getting to your destination.Suddenly the pound signs appear in the eyes of the taxi drivers who think nothing of charging you hundreds of egyptian pounds unless you know the routine.
Going shopping another scam go into a shop and suddenly lots of men appear and sometimes lock the door until you buy or again rip you off.
Once bitten twice shy I now go in and tell them I live here, the mood soon changes.I want to pay Egyptian prices not tourist.On departure try to use a credit card in duty free what a rip off.CASH ONLY. HMMMMM I wonder why again no receipt-or machine not working bad connection

Yes we have seen it all and if there is anyway another person DOES not get ripped off then thank goodness for these forums AND the people who take time trouble and their own expense to avoid the pitfalls then carry on.Its funny how on this forum and the other one we have now boycotted have locals singing their own praises the reason MONEY or should I say the lack of it when others will not buy.
So the simple answer is STOP ripping us off STOP making out its other people making waves do the decent thing and do the job that we pay you for.
Oh and if as the devleoper say we should have done our homework we did but as there was no info on the net what more can we do.
SO CARRY ON GIVING NEGATIVE INPUT AS IT WILL STOP OTHERS BEING RIPPED OFF AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING GOOD TO TELL US WE ARE LISTENING.:thefinger:
