TDV Passports Jeff Berwick, Chris Martin, TDV Global Refused to delivery what was paid for and failed to return our money. Acapulco Internet

Me, my wife, brother & his fiancee, and mother paid Jeff Berwicks - TDV Passports in full to go through what we thought was the legal process of becoming residents of Paraguay. We went to Paraguay and went through what we thought were the steps to do just that. After about six months two out of the five of us received resident status, or so we thought. The remaining three of us had difficulty getting Jeff or his agent, employee, partner or whatever he is (Chris Martin) to respond to us with a status report a year later.

Then after some research it appears from two news articles from local news sources in Paraguay that the people Jeff had us meet there were total frauds. They were apparently arrested for producing fraudulent documents related to resident cards and passports. To top it off, now their associates in Paraguay can not be contacted because their phone numbers have been disconnected.

Jeff had the gaul to ask me if I had his peoples contact information in Paraguay so I could contact them directly instead of going through Chris Martin. I told Jeff that the numbers I had for his people no longer worked and could he provide good contact information. Jeff never responded back with any numbers for anyone who could help.

I thought I knew Jeff well enough and could trust him. I even wrote a guest blog for his site and he stayed at my house one night because it was close to a conference he was to speak at the next day. I believe now that I was wrong about him. In fact, now I firmly believe he is a scam artist. Still perhaps he's a decent writer of some of the unpleasant truths of the world, that doesn't change the fact that he and his company will not provide what we paid for or return the money we paid them. 

I would strongly advise against using his service or you will very likely end up like we did - defrauded out of our money with no positive result.

In Paraguay, the government gives a person going through the residency process a case number. That number allows the applicant the ability to know where he/she is in the process of residency and what agency and agent has the file. I have repeatedly asked for each of our case numbers which should be instantly available to TDV Passports (Chris and Jeff). Both Chris and Jeff have completely ignored that request and have continued the failure to provide our case numbers.

Chris and Jeff began sending me some vague weird email exchanges stating they are not frauds and everything is fine so don't worry, yet with nothing of substance in them, as though that would appease me. And not one of the emails they sent contained the pertainent information I requested and deserved, which should have been easy for them to obtain, since they should have had it on file already.  

As an example of the emails, here is one from Chris Martin on July 30th of this year:

Still no information almost two weeks after Chris sent the above email and no monies returned.

If TDV Passports responds to this site with some con-mans lie, which I fully expect, I will not respond. If anyone reading this has an interest in knowing the details in full, I would be happy to talk to you or email you all the insanely unprofessional correspondence and lack of follow through by TDV Passports. Simply call me: 318-xxx-xxxx or email me: (((REDACTED)))

I urge anyone who has been defrauded by TDV Passports to go to the resource, liberty, and financial conferences that Jeff attends or where the men he likes to interview on his podcast attend. Tell men like Doug Casey, Jim Rogers, Edward Griffen, Eric Sprott, and many other respectable real businessmen who are very approachable to be careful and warn them not to be associated with an obvious crook like Jeff Berwick or Chris Martin.

If, a big IF, Jeff and/or Chris provide us with our legitmate government case numbers and fulfill their obligation in a positive way, then I will update this complaint stating so IF that ever happens. Until then, which is unlikely at this point, they remain an unorganized motley crew of misfits. Hopefully they prove me wrong and follow through on their responsiblity. If so, I will applaud them for doing what they said they would do...
