I suspect that this lady may be involved in the scam and then takes a cut of any money wired to the supposed lender. 

Lots of scams there too, especially in the resort areas.Also the property laws there are very different to here.

Be very careful of these fake on line lenders.. its a huge scam these days.. while 100% exists in the market place its only for well established long term repeat clients.

A friend did it and so far doesn't look like a total scam, but I guess a month in, he also hasn't started cash-flowing yet

No body wants to see someone scammed.

How is that good for any family.if you had 20K in the Bank would you allow the Bank to Keep the $20,000.00 if you Died why is the insurance company allowed to keep your savings if you DIE honestly it is a scam.....

The white collar criminals have became true professionals at this scam.

Its definitely not a scam but like most training, much of the info has been posted elsewhere for free and its not cheap.

This is surely a scam but I can't figure out the angle.  

As explained in a previous reply, my intention with the questions I posted was since it is known in the past few years there’s been an increase in real estate investing in Lisbon by US investors I wanted to know if the ones who do invest here were on this platform.No fishy or scam business on this side.Thank you for your answer.
