Hi everyone,
I want to get the message clear to all potential investors out there, please, please, please, save your time and hard earned money and stay as far away as you can from this scumbags. I’ve been burnt, went thru depression, lost my family and even contemplated suicide because of Zaki Ameer.
If you are interested, here’s a summary of what happened to me – a warning to you to stay clear.
As all other users have mentioned, none of the properties offered met our brief, plus these properties are also listed in any mainstream property websites such as Domain / RealEstate.com.
If they are, I wondered why am I contracting DDP when I can look up these properties myself. A change in our personal circumstance required us to pull out o f this contract less any cost incurred by DDP and offered us a refund of what I deem is a fair amount, agreed to it, and got it in writing from Zaki and his accountant – I’ve even agreed to receive the remaining cash back in instalments without interest.
Its been now an 18 month battle and still haven’t seen a single penny from DDP despite an NCAT order, a NSW judgement court order and a NSW notice of motion for Writ – Levy of Property notice for DDP – all have been blatantly ignored by DDP.
It is an ongoing battle, but I am not going to give until I receive every single penny of my refund back.
Here’s a chronology of events – a warning for all potential customers of DDP – stay away please.
Aug 2017 – Zaki Ameer agreed to refund my deposit less cost via email – I agreed to the amount.
Sep 2017 – no news / no calls answered / no emails replied
Oct 2017 – 1 email from Zaki – saying accounts dept will contact me for my bank details
Nov 2017 – accounts send me an email – saying they will bank in 10 instalments weekly (laughable for a company to claim to have millions in investment property) – and I said ok, whatever, as long as I get my agreed refund back….then…total silence
Feb – having not heard from anyone, I posted on DDP’s FB page – a negative comment
Feb 2018 – Immediately received email from Zaki that I posted something on DDP’s FB page and he’s asked me to take it down if I want my refund back!!
Mar 2018 – DDP removes my ability to comment on their page
Apr 2018 – I lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading – they advised me to go to NCAT
May 2018 – NCAT orders DDP to pay me the full agreed refund and additional costs
– DDP and Zaki completely ignores this
June 2018 – Lodged a case with NSW Local Courts – Local courts ordered DDP to pay me the full refund with costs
– DDP and Zaki completely ignores the Court Order (isn’t this a crime?)
Oct 2018 – Applied for Writ for the levy of property from Local Courts NSW
– Sherrifs turned up at Edgecliffe Centre – registed business address and found that no occupants / employees / associates of DDP were on site and that they are there only occasionally – left a calling card but DDP never called back.
