Number of fools who want to get cheated is multi million times more than the actual cheaters in Ponzi Investment schemes

Why Ponzi schemes flourish?, Why so called Investors don’t learn lesson from earlier frauds?. It is not the case that promoters of such schemes are clever or intelligent. Actual reason for that must be the number of fools who want to get cheated is multi million times more than the actual cheaters.

People always fall in love of investment offers of plantation schemes, Calm, Private, Luxurious and yet open Farm house plots with Sunrise / sunset point, Swimming pool, Landscape garden, Exclusive Developed demarcated plots with Boundary Fencing, forest walks along the periphery etc. etc.

Promoters of such scheme always develop good relationships with investors . They only cheat or appoint and encourage such agents who can cheat near and dear ones. They keep changing their business names frequently. Yesterday what was “x” county next day it becomes “y” county. And what they promised in earlier scheme may not be the same in latest scheme. For example suppose they promised you non agriculture plot residential plot on same property may sale it today as agriculture land ideal for plantation scheme.

Since last some years such schemes are on its high in and around pune. Unfortunately now a day promoters of such schemes some times find government officials to rope in it. Actually as per law no public servant can promote and advertise such schemes but when so called investors see public servant talking nice about any scheme they assume that scheme is legal one.

Currently there is ban on collective investment schemes hence these people don’t name it as investment scheme but all the things in there promises lead to it only. Now  a days they promise you peace of land that doesn’t belong to them, they never tell you survey numbers until you invest initial amount. So such investors should take care of following things

1) Check credentials of promoters

2) See that what he had promised on same land earlier; Ask him why he changed the name of scheme? It is easy in these social media days.

3) There is ceiling on possessing agriculture land, If any body claims that some hundred acres agriculture land in his name, it sure that he is lying

4) You must be agriculturist if you want to purchase agriculture land. If promoter says he will make some “Jugad” to prove you agriculturist. Be sure that he has done everything by “ Jugad” in said scheme

5) Unless promoter shows exact survey nos don’t believe in him. If he says he will tell survey no after investing something then is surely there is something fishy.

6) Don’t invest any paisa before knowing exact status of land i.e. hill top, hill slope, agriculture land, N. A plot or anything. There is no such thing like proposed N.A. land is either N.A or agriculture.

7) check ready reckoner rates of lands in and around Pune here - http://igrmaharashtra.gov.in:8080/eASRCommon.aspx?hDistName=Pune.Normaly they charge 50 times more than actual rate, check whether the money you are spending  is worth.

8) See how much is difference in ready reckoner rate and sales price and think whether it is justified ?

7) Always remember Malin and Katraj before investing any thing on hill top hill slope.

Charge sheets against illegal plot buyers will stop disastrous incidences like katraj tragedy

Calm, Private, Luxurious and yet open Farm plots with Sunrise / sunset point, Swimming pool, Landscape garden, Exclusive Developed demarcated plots with Boundary Fencing, forest walks along the periphery and that too on the agriculture land - mostly, on the hill top and hill slopes. Is not this an Ideal location to build dream bungalow? .But wait all this is on proposed N.A (non- agriculture) plot and in No Development Zone. Developers of such lands also claim Clear and Marketable Title in Emerging investment hub and an ideal plot to build your Dream Bungalow and that means Natural way to happiness.

There is nothing harm in dreaming to have such bungalow, as far as every thing is legal and just. However, is this all true? As far as pune is concerned, developers of such properties have cheated thousands of such buyers. The lust of having such property has made many buyers life miserable. However, who is responsible for that? Only developers and government machinery? .Sorry, I beg to differ. Not only developers and government machinery but buyers of such properties are also responsible for such illegal purchases and crime of destruction of environment and death of wadekar mother - daughter duo died in katraj mishap after heavy rainfall. An inquiry is on in this mishap and inquiry committee should hold such property buyers responsible for culpable homicide of wadekars.

विषय - कात्रज  दुर्घटनेतील लोकांच्या  मृत्यूस कारणीभूत असणा-यांवर गुन्हे दाखल करणे बाबत ...

महोदय,

कात्रज येथे टेकडीवरून जोरदार पावसाचे पाणी आल्याने झालेल्या दुर्घटनेत दोन जणांचा मृत्यू झाला . या दु़र्घटनेस बेकायदा टेकडीफोड करणारे, टेकडीवर बेकायदा बांधकाम करणारे , रस्त्यांच्या नावाखाली टेकड्यांवर चर खणणारे यांच्या बरोबरच माध्यमांनी आणि स्वयंसेवी संस्थांनी अशा बाबी लक्षात आणून दिल्यानंतरही त्याकडे अक्षम्य दुर्लक्ष करणारे अधिकारीही तितकेच जबाबदार आहेत . त्यामूळे या सर्वांवर दुर्दैवी दुर्घटनेतील लोकांच्या मृत्यूस कारणीभूत ठरल्याचे गुन्हे दाखल करण्यात यावेत .

त्याच प्रमाणे केवळ कात्रजच  नव्हे तर जिल्हातील सर्वच टेकड्या आणि डोंगर अशाच प्रकारे फोडले जात आहेत आणि त्याकडे प्रशासनाचे अक्षम्य दुर्लक्ष होत आहे. त्याबाबही दुर्घटना घडल्यास सर्व संबधितांवर वरील प्रमाणेच गुन्हे  दाखल करण्यात यावेत.

पुण्यात दोन वर्षांपूर्वी  बावधन येथे पावसाच्या पाण्याने हाहाकार माजवला होता. त्या दुर्घटनेत सुमारे 11 जण मृत्यूमूखी पडले होते . त्यानंतर  पालिकेने त्यासंदर्भात काही उपाययोजना करण्याचे ठरविले होते , परंतु त्या पूर्ण झाल्या नाहीतच. शिवाय त्यानंतरही शहरातील पाण्याचे अनेक नैसर्गीक स्त्रोत, ओढे व नाले अडविण्यात आल्याचे किंवा नष्ट करण्यात आल्याचे दिसून येते .त्यामूळेही भविष्यात पुण्यातही अशाच दुर्घटना घडण्याची शक्यता नाकारण्यात येत नाही.

त्यामूळे पुणे शहर आणि जिल्ह्यात अशा दुर्घटना होउ नयेत यासाठी युद्धपातळीवर कार्यकम घेउन अशा दुर्घटना घडू नयेत यासाठी प्रयत्न करावेत आणि त्यातूनही अशी दुर्घटना घडल्यास त्यासाठी जबाबदार असणा--या  सर्व संबधितांवर फौजदारी गुन्हे दाखल करण्यात यावेत. हि विनंती .

There is reason, why I am saying that buyers of such properties are equally responsible. Since last few years, purchasing capacity of one class mostly related to IT, increased considerably and they subsequently became the potential investors. Having international exposure, this class was well aware of rich peoples' lifestyle worldwide. They also wanted to acquire such life style in India. Some clever cheaters specifically caught these peoples psych and started picturing their dream world. Immediately they got success, but there was more demand than supply. Buyers were, purchasing there dreams without verifying the truth. Such well educated (?) buyers who spent lakhs of rupees on such sham deals did not bother to take legal advice before buying plots.

 It was not the case that these buyers were not aware of the illegalities they were doing. They knew that they could not purchase agriculture land, there is ban on subdivision of land, and they cannot do anything in no development zone. There cannot be a thing like proposed N.A land. Land is either agriculture or non-agriculture. Buying or selling agriculture land and claiming some time in future it will become N.A is like marrying minor child claiming that it will become major some time in future.

 So many people wrote to authorities about such land deals and illegalities. Newspapers covered the stories. However, not the developers of such lands, government machinery, or the buyers took cognizance of it. They were dot sure about India mein sabkuch chalta hai.It proves that buyers were well aware of the fact what they were doing. Had they not purchased such plots, destruction of environment, hills would have stopped and lives of wadekars would not have lost.

It is evident from the fact that still after katraj mishap nothing has changed. Developers are shamelessly advertising their sham schemes, government machinery is ignoring it, and so-called innocent buyers are purchasing plots in such schemes. Unless people buying stolen property are penalised this business will not stop. Hence, not only in katraj mishap, but in all the special townships, N.A plot schemes where there are illegal things, charge sheets should be filled against all the concerned including buyers.
