Still Going Strong in 2013?

Much time (5 years or so) has passed since the eBay Land Sales of Nova Scotia real estate that many have come to believe were nothing more than old fashioned Land Scams. It appears as if some of those players are "still going strong".
One, Carmen Blinn of Antigonish Nova Scotia, boasts of her real estate specialty of developing beautiful vacation acreage, and having developed approximately 40 subdivisions to date. And seems to be in the land selling business in Nova Scotia using some very familiar terminology.


(BEWARE: Is this the same Carmen Blinn that is discussed in those old posts and news articles? Where is Kevin Blinn or Kevin Layes ? Is this the same land that was described as so promising in the old eBay listings? Is Nova Scotia Land Sales now Nova Scotia Canada Property Sales? If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck it probably is a duck.)

The following comments from the Nova Scotia Canada Properties Sales website appear to be the complete opposite from the claims of previous buyers of land from Carmin Blinn through Nova Scotia Land Sales. Namely, there were no guarantees, no access and the properties were not suitable for the claims made in the sales pitches. In fact the properties sold became land investors nightmares!

"My team of Contractors, Nova Scotia Land Surveyors and Lawyers work on every property to guarantee the land I sell to be accessible, beautiful, free and clear of encumbrances, and suitable for the buyer's purpose!"

"I am dedicated to bringing each and every one of my customers added value. The property I sell is a land investor's dream."

But you can read about Carmen Blinn for yourself at her website.

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....

I've heard about the blog site but haven't a clue how to post anything; this is written to show support for Joyce Case Harlow and her attempts to bring about honesty in realty in Shelburne County. As I understand it, she and a reporter friend are fighting a fellow by the name of Kevin Blinn who apparently tried to sell wetland property in Barrington Municipality. She tried to get officials in the county and the province to step in to help stop this activity but no one was willing to step up to the plate.

The land continued to be sold on eBay. Ms. Harlow didn't give in: she continued to use an incredible amount of her own time and resources to search out the truth. She pursued this case along with the equally tenacious reporter. Last week, the reporter apparently discovered that the Blinn fellow may not be a Blinn afterall but rather another person; and this person may be involved in other lawsuits. The bottom line is that these two have accomplished what, perhaps, the officials should have done: seek out the truth
in order to preserve honestly in realty transactions in Shelburne County -- and Nova Scotia. Let's support her and those like her in their efforts to keep our province credible.

"Would The Real Kevin Please Stand Up" by MadJack via email

"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.

Nine lawsuits and counting for eBay land sales pair... Claims of fraud, slander and environmental calamity…

On and On and On!

New Lawsuits filed against Carmen Blinn and Kevin Blinn

New lawsuits have been filed against Carmen Blinn and Kevin Blinn, owner and operators of Nova Scotia Land Sales or Nova Scotia Property Sales. Nova Scotia Land Sales or Nova Scotia Property Sales or nspropertysales operate a eBay land sales site on the popular auction site. As of this writing Nova Scotia Property Sales or nspropertysales is still listing properties on the EBay auction site.

The new lawsuits were filed in Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. Please see ShelburneCountyToday website and follow links to The Bog for updates regarding this matter.

Suits and counter suits have marked the recent history of Nova Scotia Land Sales or Nova Scotia Property Sales and their listings and land sales on the popular eBay auction site. Charges of defamation, slander and misrepresentation have been bandied about. Carmen Blinn has maintained she stands behind her eBay listings and the descriptions included on the auction site and the negetive publicity surrounding her and her company is unfounded.

One thing is for sure, some explaining will need to be done regarding all these claims and it will be done in a public forum. Some people can't wait to hear it all.
