Yes, Eamonn, I am. Let's hope this thread stays alive and does not get hijacked by people whose "problems" are more than ours.

There are a lot of victims out there.

Anthony,



That's a lot of money that has been stolen by the unscrupulous Sabena.

It can be a pain in the butt but it's often preferable to handle the renting of one's property oneself. Get a lease drawn up by a notar for a reasonable sum (they will have templates in English and Turkish), take a good deposit and photo I/D like passport and driving licence showing UK address. It's a good idea to retain someone trustworthy to keep an eye on the place when you are out of Cyprus.

You lost a few thousand pounds and got your fingers burnt - but you will still have houses/property to let or live in.

I have lost £100,000.00 and got nothing!!!! as have a lot of other people over here

Stop moaning about a few thousand quid and get on with your lives!!!!!!

Message 7,



That's a bit harsh! Sorry you have lost out but these people have as well, and maybe they can't afford to either.

A victim, is a victim, is a victim, no matter how much they have been swindled.

Every instance should be brought to light on this board to help others falling into the same trap.

Keep it alive.

The last thread got to 200 posts and now it all starts again.

As a result of scams here I have

- no house in the UK

- no house in TRNC

- I am living in rented accommodation (and I pay my rent EVERY MONTH)

- I am living on my OAP pension now

- All I have is a pile of bricks on a hill

I wish I had a house which I could rent out. i would count myself as extremely lucky to have only lost £2000 in doing so. I do anything to make my pension last a bit longer and go a bit further. I have sold my clothes and some of my Grand childrens toys on the market, I have sold items at the auctions too, so that I can stretch my lire a bit further.

What was it ...... A victim, is a victim, is a victim...... mmmm......

I know exactly how you feel, as do many more on the forum! my only saving grace is that I kept my UK home, but have still lost so much, and not just money!



However I do agree with CJtill that any victim of this unscrupulous country, has a right to bring the scams they have encountered to light, so that any future human being will be well informed, so they at least have the chance not to become a victim in the future!

I agree totally

The last post reached it's 200 limit and 11,000 viewings (as stated) and it all starts over again.... drip... drip ... drip....

The house I was buying was also fully furnished - so I had to give mine futniture away or leave it in the house when I left, so I don't have any furniture or household goods here either.

Ask the Oram's how they feel about being scammed for £2000

Ask residents in Karsiyaka who are currently in court to try to stop being evicted from their homes which they have alread paid for which are now in the hands of the bank

There are thousands of 'victims' here but they do not drip feed their problems to others every day. As the first message said over 11,000 viewings 200 comments - future human beings have been well informed!!!!

Ah, I'm sorry HildySmith. You have been treated so badly and nobody else can be upset, just for a few hundred or thousand pounds, because it doesn't come close to your problems.

Life doesn't work that way. If you haven't got anything sensible to add to this, don't bother posting.

Or are you saying that some people have rights and others don't?

You seem to have a vested interest in doing down other victims of property in this country, at least where North Cyprus Rentals is concerned.

Why don't you go and deal with your problems, which, incidentally, you have documented on this forum vociferously, and leave others to deal with theirs the way they see fit.

msg 13



most people who have lost either small or big doesnt meant they wont support others in keeping things n the public eye



A victim suffers at the hands of a criminal be it a murder an assault a rape or an indecent asault a burglary or a theft.



All are varying degrees of crime with a victim suffering but if things are not kept in the public eye for information and to be aware then offenders have won.

There are no doubt new members on this board who may have missed all the past history of the rental scams, and we owe it to them to keep the subject alive.

This is much more important than the light hearted topics about football\what is my favourite film etc threads, which seem to be posted about 3 times a day, every day.

Just putting in my tuppence worth here, I am sorry you have been scammed Hildysmith but I am also sorry that these other people have been scammed as well, excuse me for inferring that you seem to come down very heavily on Sabena's side, (sometimes ones friends can also be scammers you know) but she has made promises to people through AJ and others, there have also been some very strange goings on surrounding her absconding and her business dealings, and it does not matter if it is your 100k or their combined possible 250k that has been lost it is still a scam and you are making more enemies than friends with your continual attacks, (reminding me of others)

Hildy Smith - like others on this thread I am sorry for your situation ,however you should read the thread title again. I really dont see what you have to offer in reply that is pertinent to the thread and the ensuing situation many of us find ourselves in. Perhaps you would be better starting your own thread and related problems and leave us to deal with North Cyprus Rentals.

Our dealings with NCR were authentic and the consequential outcomes from the administration of the company has had a direct impact on us. We are not posting speculative comments.

Administrators can you help?

A victim is a victim regardless of the amount that is lost. A collective supportive campaign is what is needed to bring about change and bring the crooks to book whoever they may be i.e. buiders, agents, government or the banks.

Just out of honest curiosity: if the accused lady is in the UK - isn't there anything you (NCR victims as a group) can do in the UK?

Msg.20,



Hans, The"lady" is indeed in the U.K. and some of her victims have reported her activities to various U.K. Police Forces but because there are individual forces there and because the victims are spread throughout the country, a group complaint is not practical. In any event, individual complaints are likely to produce better results in the long run.

Forgot to say to those who are at at loss from Sabena's actions and WHO LODGED MONIES INTO SABENA'S ACCOUNTS IN ENGLAND AND WHOSE FUNDS WERE DIVERTED BY HER FOR HER OWN USE,i.e bills not paid in Cyprus, etc. Please report this to your local constabulary as this will strengthen the case that is building against and lead to her arrest on Embezzlement charges.

Hi, Chris,



In the search box type in- North Cyprus Rentals, or Sabena Coulter and just follow the leads. I should point out that this thread refers only to North Cyprus Rentals ( the specific company) and not rentals in Cyprus generally ! I'm sure that there are reputable rental firms out there.



Hope this helps.

If you have not been a victim of Sabena's scam then clear off from this thread as it has nothing to do with your situation. If you have lost your house then its down to your ignorance knowing what builders are like here, and not being taken for a ride by someone that you thought was a friend.....!!!!

£2000 or £100,000 its still theft.

In answer to questions and comments made:

I have no connection whatever with Sebina. I have met her in the bar and that is it.

My house is not habitable and there are 7 other brits on my site in the same position.

I just got sick to death of the wingeing and moaning etc etc which has already outrun one thread and now starts again - every bloody day.

lets get back to quiz nights, karoke and some other boring subjects.

Dear Dear Basiz - this has nothing to to with me - you stated - so I am not entitled to an opinion!!!

that is so nice of you.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion on any subject, but if you are sick to death of this thread then may I humbly suggest that you desist from reading\commenting on it, and concentrate on the more boring topics you mention above.

I find it interesting....so I shall continue.

Just to clarify ! I have no agenda against Sabena's mother. Sabena is the problem for many of us ! Any help in tracing Sabena's assets in Northern Cyprus could be of benefit to her many victims !!



As an aside, JB 2 please email me again, for some reason my reply was not delivered and what you said deserved a response.
