650 acres gone overnight!... U.S. owner claims Barrington, Nova Scotia land stolen from her... In a peculiar twist in an already twisted tale, Lisa Deltorchio of Gloucester Massachusetts claims she and her husband are the rightful owners of more than 680 acres of land which has been for sale on eBay by Carmen & Kevin Blinn, an Antigonish couple enmeshed in at least six law suits regarding their eBay land sales practices in Shelburne, Yarmouth and Victoria Counties. "We have a warranty deed from 1959 when my father-on-law bought it and a warranty deed from 2003 when he gave it to us," insists Mrs. Deltorchio, referring to a large tract of land straddling Port LaTour Road in Port Clyde, Shelburne County....

"WOULD THE REAL KEVIN PLEASE STAND UP"

One doesn't expect to walk into a soap opera in Shelburne County, at least not this kind; not an every day occurrence around there ; but there they are, smack dab in the middle of land scams, fraud convictions, lies, deceit's, numerous law suits, and dope smoking hippies chasing extra terrestrials as COMMANDER CHI with Chi Media on "you tube" , unbelievable you say !! , stay with me, it gets better.

Someday this will make a great book.

So here we have the Blinns ,a couple of swampland developers scavenging unsuspecting buyers on eBay ( and now have been kicked off ) using false advertising of supposed "Family Lands" left to them (when in actual fact their mostly tax sales) to entice other persons into signing very questionable land contracts for money. Now why would you do that? Well , let's see...... What if you weren't Kevin Blinn let's say.... someone else ; like this guy Kevin Layes who's all over the news, and lets say he was currently in Halifax court suing a large corporation for 200 million plus, and other persons for 5 billion plus, and lets say he started those law suit's in 95/96 but he don't have no money and he don't have a job (nor does the little woman) because he lost the job he had working for a pharmaceutical company , why you ask , well maybe because during the 9 months he was employed with the company he defrauded them of 75k plus and was convicted of that and had to pay it back, no job, big lawsuit looming with a potential pot of gold even a normal man couldn't resist, now what would you do?

Well most people would call it a day because most people can see the light at the end of a tunnel , but not these two, no way, he and the girl friend need money to pull this one off, a lot of money. I wonder where and what the easiest way would be to do that, well ; one way is to sell worthless Nova Scotia land any where from large to small lots, on eBay , a LOT of worthless lots, say 250 plus or so , cheap lots because pretty well everybody can afford cheap, right? $500 us down $250 a month for five years, A court case could take that long ; mightn't it ?

BUT ; and here's the kicker, you can't defraud people while on probation for fraud now can you ? don't think so, not in Nova Scotia !, so what do you do ? I know, you could use another name, and defraud people , who would know ? Daaa.

Very easy to do, just not that smart, but if you were pathological about some things might not matter. If your stupid enough to think you won't get caught, why not? The next curtain goes up at the Supreme Court here in Halifax.

As sent to me via email- swampthing.

To Continue this venue seems important

My intention was to let others continue this venue and discuss what is happening with real estate and Internet sales.

It has become clear to me that when "new" buyers purchase land and then feel as if they have been mislead, many resort to doing searches on the Internet to put the missing pieces together.

And herein lies(no pun) the value of a venue like this and the sole reason for keeping it going and updated.

Recently I have been made aware of another buyer of property from Kevin and Carmen Blinn of Nova Scotia who feel that they have purchased land vastly different from the description in the sales literature. (Night and Day is not to far fetched!)

Certainly there are others out there who have not come to realize the situation in which they are involved- and they have land in Nova Scotia, the U.S and likely elsewhere- and have been the victim of land fraud too.

So I hope this blog is useful to others when they start their searches to right injustices.

Post your view, Complain, Disclose the identity of the fraudsters, Explain what you are doing and what you are up against. I know it's helping others.

Ready for some new $1 million eBay land sales in Clyde River?... Looks like the success of Carmen and Kevin Blinn in their eBay land sales operation in Port Clyde has caught the eye of one of thier pals. Seems Long Island-based Peter Chiofolo, who is cited in a recent Supreme Court fraud and defamation suit involving the Blinns for supplying questionable, over-the-top, customer-pleasing "feedback" on the Blinn's web site under a couple of eBay aliases, has bought into the Canadian lands sales dream Chiofolo (aka, autopartsweb, etc) just bought 100+ acres of land off hiway 103 near Goose Lake, just a stone's throw from the Blinn's large piece near the non-existant Judas River. If Chiofolo uses the same sales, pricing, and financing plan as the Blinn's, selling small plots sight unseen to folks from far away, he could see a $933,000 profit from his $17,000 investment. Somewhere, PT Barnum is smiling his devilish grin.

Comment on NovaScotiaBusinessJournal.com

Clearly something is amiss in Port Clyde, Municipality of Barrington, Nova Scotia. The comments posted here overwhelmingly question, if not outright refute, the claims C. Blinn has made in describing the properties she has sold in Barrington. Her comments about J. Harlow have also met with opposition.

The Building Inspector for the Municipality of Barrington says "they are selling lots that don't exist on street names that don't exist". The folks who have commented have pointed out the apparent misrepresentations between C. Blinns descriptions of everything from the names of towns, their sizes, their distances from other places, the condition of the land sold etc. etc. and their particular knowledge of the area. C. Blinn states "I did not know that Harlow and Gillespie were the people in charge of Shelburne County!".

This comment begs the question of when the elected officials of the Municipality of Barrington will weigh in on this matter. Upon viewing the Municipality of Barrington website it is clear to me that the general populace and the local officials both care for and cherish their home towns and the quality of life it affords them.

Both, I assume, also care deeply about the image the Municipality of Barrington depicts to the world. The growing and far reaching situation of eBay land sales in your municipality by Nova Scotia Land Sales, and possibly other internet companies, needs to be thoroughly researched, immediately, by Council and Committee Members as they have been absent from this situation thus far.

For clearly something is amiss in Port Clyde, Municipality of Barrington, Nova Scotia.
