Australian Scammers In Ecuador - John & Dixie Davey Walker


In the last BLOG, I asked and answered the question: “The Walkers – Pathetic or What?” We all know the answer by now. I have asked if the Walker’s will have redemption in 2011. So far, they have ignored that question as they have for the past year.

The Walkers still refuse to answer these basic questions to anyone they scammed (or to the world for that matter):
  • Where did all the money you received go?
  • What was it spent on that related to your “Ayampe Project”?
  • What  specifically was the money spent on???? By whom specifically????

The Walkers have continued to avoid their responsibility to the people that placed “TRUST” in them. I have asked them and pleaded with them to give us our money back. Instead they have:
  • Personally threatened me (see Email from John Walker);
  • Cursed me and called me names;
  • Called others they scammed names.
  • Repeatedly claimed that their Ecuadorian partner is the real person that scammed people (They have said all of this without ever providing one shred of evidence to prove their claim).
  • Went on a campaign to have some websites pull my BLOGs and comments because they are afraid of the world knowing the truth about them.
The Walkers say that they will SUE anyone that they claim defames them. Then why have they not done that? Why have they not sued me since they claim I am defaming them?

I say to the Walkers …. SUE ME!!! Prove me wrong. Prove DEFAMATION! Either in a USA court or Ecuadorian court. Please, please SUE ME! Take me to court with your “evidence” vs. my “evidence”! The truth is the Walkers try to intimidate anyone that speaks the truth about them. They know they have no chance in a court of law!

Dixie Davey Walker likes to very smugly state “get your facts right”. So I have and I will continue to expose the Walkers to the world. I have and I will continue to show the Walkers as what they are: liars, con artist and thieves!

Ironically, in his attempt to accuse me of not telling the truth, John Walker so boldly stated that this, “… I now intend to raise funds from our subscribers to fight you and Ruy. To make claims against us without a Court Order is a serious offense – at least in the USA where you have published your claims. The maximum sentence is 10 years jail – plus damages. It is also a serious offence in Ecuador.”

Once again, I say to the Walkers, SUE ME!!!!

In a further attempt to deceive their innocent subscribers and intimidate their victims, Dixie Davey Walker makes this statement in her January 23, 2011, newsletter:

“Important note to all readers:
All Newsletters and content on the website www.retire-in-ecuador.com are copyright and use of photos or any other material taken from my website without permission shall be deemed as an infringement of the copyright laws.”

Does she even know what the copyright laws are? Does Dixie Davey Walker even know what constitutes a copyright? Given that she and John reword copy from other websites and information sources, what are they “deeming” as infringement?

Now back to the Walkers scam setup. Here is the ACTUAL BLOG the Walker’s published on January 29, 2009. They wrote this when they were writing and telephoning me constantly to invest with them. They actually referred me to their website as “proof” of how BIG their Ayampe project was. As you can read, they even published promises about how the money would be refunded if either of the stated conditions were not met. From their own website on January 29, 2009:

Retire in Ecuador -
Beach front Opportunity
January 29, 2009 Hola All
Beach Front Opportunity

The deal is going fast, so don’t wait too long to make a decision.
It has now only been four days since John came up with this idea of selling 10 large lots at Ayampe for an average of only US$65,000 – and to also include a 300 square meter house and swimming pool etc.
Six (6) lots have already been spoken for.
So if you want one of the once-in-a lifetime opportunities, please get in quick. The way things are going, the deal will be sold-out within the next 7-10 days. One person is even thinking about taking more than one lot.
Another incentive idea
Another person has also said that he doesn’t want to wait for us to build his 300m2 house, and that he would prefer to build at his own expense and then we reimburse him at a later date – at an agreed amount and milestone.
That is perfectly acceptable. In fact we will even pay a share of the selling budget for the first three people who make this same decision. These houses will be like display homes, so it would help the project substantially if some of these front houses are built in advance.  We only request that we have access to the house for showing potential buyers of other properties. The incentive will be the greatest for the first person who commits to such a decision. The rebate could be as high as $50,000 for the first person – paid as a percentage of all sales after the house has been completed.
So make a decision quickly. We are asking for a 10% deposit (US$6,500) payable on a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or bank transfer and the balance as soon as the legal trust is established (within two weeks). This purchase price is 100% refundable if (1) you do not get legal title to your selected lot, or (2) the 10 lots are not sold.
Ciao for now
Dixie and John

Note that the Walkers both signed this newsletter. Does the above sound unclear? Does their article not “represent” that a “trust will be established in two weeks? Now then, how does it now go to being untrue when I ask for my money back????

Then on March 15, 2009, Dixie Davey Walker wrote this on her BLOG: 

     “ … The other reason we have not written is that the last couple of weeks we have been extremely busy and not always in range of good internet services to upload photos etc. We spent a week in Quito at the International Living Conference and met some wonderful people.  A few have also followed us to Cuenca and many have also been keen to see our Ayampe coastal development.  Our new website is now up and running with more information about the Ayampe development www.eco-ecuador-living.com.
Unfortunately we received some bad publicity at Quito from an insecure and jealous expat who claims himself a “Guru” of Ecuador.  All I can say at present is that he did not realize who he was dealing with. He thought it was expats that he could badmouth, and did not realize that the principals are our Ecuadorian partners. The matter is now in the hands of our partner’s lawyers. It is a serious offense in Ecuador to make false statements about someone.
John and I work very closely with our Ecuadorian partners and we do not claim to know the Ecuadorian rules and regulations.  Our choice is to have Ecuadorian partners and we all work very well together. Our opinion is that they know a lot more about Ecuador than any expat. They are both very well educated and have long and very credible family histories in this country…

So two years ago the Walkers admitted that they do not claim to know the Ecuadorian rules and regulations. Now the Walkers have gone to advising people about Ecuadorian “LAW”! (Their newsletter dated January 9, 2011.)

How did they get so “knowledgeable” in two years? Have they gotten a “LAW DEGREE” in Ecuador? Or are they now trying to cover their tracks from the Ayampe scam they ran?

The Walkers have removed or altered both of these posts (as well as other post) from their “Back Issues” page. No need to worry, though, as I said, I have them ALL in the ORIGINAL formats and I will offer them as proof and evidence in my exposure of these two predators. Can you trust these people? Read ALL of my BLOGs and make your own decision.

The Walkers have totally “misrepresented” the truth and the facts. What other reason do they have for removing and altering the ORIGINAL posts on their website concerning the promotion of their Ayampe Project? According to Dictionary.com, misrepresentation is defined as follows:

Misrepresentation
Function: noun
An intentionally or sometimes negligently false representation made verbally, by conduct, or sometimes by nondisclosure or concealment and often for the purpose of deceiving, defrauding, or causing another to rely on it detrimentally; also: an act or instance of making such a representation.

The FACTS about the Walkers remain simple:

FACT: The Walkers misrepresented the use of investment funds in their so-called Ayampe Project.

FACT: The Walkers have NEVER accounted for the spending of the over $100,000 they are known to have collected from investors.

FACT: The Walkers had the last known investor send her funds to an account in Panama when all other funds were sent to John Walker’s personal account in Ecuador. This last known deposit occurred in September 2009 when all lots were supposedly sold by March 2009. HMMMMMM!

FACT: The Walkers reported constantly for nearly a year that the Project was progressing “on target” and that all was well.

FACT: The Walkers have deleted or altered all of their BLOGS that reference their Ayampe scam from their “Back Issues” pages. The pages they originally posted in 2009 have ALL been changed or altered. But, as I said, no need to worry. I have EVERY deleted/altered issue in its ORIGINAL format! If the Walkers are soooo innocent as they claim, why would they need to delete or alter their own posts?????

FACT: The Walkers ran an advertisement on their website on October 31, 2009, looking for new investors to invest a $10,000 deposit for “the LAST TWO LOTS” … when they knew already the project was defunct. How many of these “LAST TWO LOTS” did they sell????

Now, I may eventually get shot down because the Walkers have all the money they stole from us and the other investors. They know I have only so much money to keep chasing them.

NONETHELESS, I WILL KEEP EXPOSING THEM! SAVING OTHERS FROM THESE CROOKS!

I cannot emphasize this enough … Stay away from these crooks! If you do not believe me, do your own litmus test with them.

P.S. The following shows you the REAL mindset of the Walkers. In his cursing-laced tirade to me, John Walker states this, “Maybe one day I might use my inheritance to fight you. Wouldn’t it be a shame to use funds to fight you instead of repaying your investment?”

That simple statement sums up the Walkers in a nutshell. In his great love for his mother who he said paid for his detox [big medical bill - over $25,000, so he says]. John Walker cares more about his mother dying and getting her money than he cares about her well-being. That is truly sad!

P.P.S. Just a reminder for those of our “generation” … the Walkers need to remember the song by Nazareth, “The Hair of The Dog”!

Look at their faces!

Recognize their faces!

KNOW their lies!

THE WALKERS ARE RUNNING RIGHT NOW!
BUT THET CANNOT HIDE!!!!

  1. Well said Cedric ! Walkers should know that you are not alone in the pursuit of these low life thieving scum. Every day more and more people around the world are learning about them and passing on the word. Soon Dixie Walkers attempts at tour guiding and pursuit of more suckers will shrivel up, and John Walker can only now hide behind her. She is always going on about how cheap medical treatment is in Ecuador, and suddenly John Walker announces that his hospitalisation cost $25,000. "get your facts right". Its either cheap, or its not.!

  2. I live in Cuenca. Have been here for 7 months.. it is odd I have never seen her, only her posts. I have heard this story, and the one that they are passing is that THEY were defrauded by the partner. I wish you luck. I remember reading this article when it first came out and my husband said WHAT? Wait until they build it..glad I did. Sorry you got caught up in this scam. Good Luck.

  3. Karen and Anon thank you for your comments and support. Please tell everyone you know to read the story of these two and the scam and harm they have done in Ecuador.

    Kim your husband was VERY smart. I wished I had not listened to the lies these two told. But, the story you report of the "version" they are giving is why I am writing this BLOG. The truth about these two has to be told so they cannot keep swindling and deceiving innocent people!

  4. It is a fact that Walkers kept on selling land after it was apparent that things had gone wrong. How many times did they knowingly sell the same blocks? Is the stolen money in a Panamanian bank?. Buy land get a free house ?
    I think not ... South America is a dangerous place.
