I agree that we should not use the forum in order to defame someone or a company unfairly but, sometimes, a forum is the only place where others can be warned about 'bad practitioners'. I handed over a substantial amount of money (over 10,000 euros) to a 'reputable agent' who convinced me that his assistant used to work at the local notary and would take my purchase tax to the relevant department while we signed the purchase contract with the notary. I subsequently found out that the agent kept the money for himself and hid my escritura (so that i couldnt see that the tax - obviously unstamped - forms had been destroyed), telling me that it was being updated by the town hall and would take a few months to be returned. I only realised that the tax had not been paid when the tax office threatened me with an ambargo on my house. when i finally managed to track the agent down, he simply admitted his crime but reminded me that his company was S.L. and was soon to go out of business. I would love to expose him to save others being conned by him but forum rules forbit it
