I was fortunate to read of this company on expats portugal's website who I believe are now being sued for posting a complaint about KBS from a forum user.

These are really dangerous people!
I have just met a couple to which they expelled from the hotel once KBS found they were not intending to buy a property upon the first visit.
They actually ended by leaving this couple in Lisbon, when the return flight and last night hotel was set to be down in the Algarve!
They ended by having to spend money on a taxi from Lisbon to Faro, when they were told that they would be assisted and there was no obligation to buy on the first visit.
It is a shame this happens!
My advice was for them to contact the Scotland Yard and the equivalent Police in Portugal. Policia Judiciaria!
If nobody moves hundreds of people will be passing by this experience!

Those who work or have worked for KBS Overseas Property & Mr Khes Smedley could all be tarnished with the same brush by mere association, but the truth is that even some of those who have worked for this company have also been ripped off or similar as KBS and
Khes Smedley do not care for anyone, even though they come across as the nicest people you have ever met..! why? Well because as soon as you start to show concern for anything you are not sure about or happy with they will and do turn on you and believe me I know all about this.
When you start to look at the facts and start to investigate this whole situation you will find that there are many people who are maybe too scared to say anything or even those who are not sure of what to do or where to go in order to stop this happening to anyone else in the future... For example their NEW NAME is KBS Internationalrealty or kbsinternationalrealty.com
If you want to know much much more then just ask, we are making progress in regards to bringing all the data together from many people and as you can appreciate this does take time and is not as fast as we would like it to be, so please pass this on to as many people as you can.
There day will come and in the not too distant future that this company and at least one or more of its associates will be held responsible for their actions and will have their date in court.

This is just an introduction for now, so more will come soon...

To whom it may concern, This is Khes Smedley, you see what is obviously apparent in these blogs, is that not one of you has the gaul to confront me with the truth, that everything is a complete fabrication which you write about me and my firm, neither do your postings have any foundation or truth, but more importantly you all have to remain anonymous. Guys, you not only disgust me, but you make me laugh., as you all have one thing in common, you hide behind a computer screen, but if the was a real problem surely you would come to see me personally, and divulge the facts upon the request of my legal advisors

These postings have been made by the following people:

1) Clients who have no intention to buy a property with our company, choose to abuse the privilege of the company housing them in a 5* hotel, our Company record all conversations between staff and clients, and subsequently when the client is then found out by the company and their clear intentions to free load, they feel their only way to hurt the firm or myself personally, is by blogging and writing damaging reports that can harm the business, very constructive may I add, as well as extremely mature.

2) Agents in the industry, unfortunately in this industry, other agents feel the need to spend more time focussing on what I am doing, or my company, rather than dedicating this valuable time to their own operations, they can't seem to realise why I am successful, but more importantly still have the ability to sell property in a climate where they cannot sell anything. They would rather I suffer like them, and therefore try their best to damage my firms reputation, get a grip, do you honestly think that you are going to stop me being successful in any industry...? Please..

3) ex associates, you see this is what makes me smile the most how these individuals who are considerable wealthy, again I don't need to embarrass people by stating names, but yet you know who you are, they feel the need to falsify information about me and my firm, In order to hurt me personally as well as financially, as they hate the fact that I am successful in a time and the same industry which my skills were born. However what this shows, is the weakness of these certain individuals, that they burn at the thought of my success. This shows a lot for their own character as individuals, one word "weak"

In relation to point 3 this whole blog was started by an individual whom I was associated with in the same industry

4) ex staff, I have nothing hide as a boss in my organisation, it is a sales industry in which I work in, and therefore in my firm, there is accountability for your results, something which certain individuals do not want to feel responsible for, therefore again feel the need to damage my company, by writing slanderous remarks, about myself and my firm. However what they seem to not write about is their complete lack of performance, and inadequacy in work ethic, as they want to put very little in and yet expect great pay. Well if you happen to work for me, if you don't perform and sell, you will not work for me, it is very simple.

In short all of the above have one thing in common, they all hate to see me doing well, and are extremely weak as individuals, but readers, I can assure you of one thing, you will never stop my success, as I am a lot stronger than that, to give in to your weak fabrications/ lies, as well as profound jealousy towards my success. However if you were actually in front of me as individual I very much doubt you would speak so openly about your hatred towards me, but choose to do this behind a keyboard. Get a life, not only are you pathetic but extremely sad, to spend time trying to defame my character rather than focussing in your own your business. To all, I wish you all the best in your hate towards me


Kind regards

Dear Mr. Smedley
My name is Karen Iles, I do have the gaul and I would love nothing more than to speak with you. I have been trying to contact you for weeks but you are the one that doesn't seem to want to speak with me!
Me and my husband are left in limbo after parting with a huge sum of money, no hope of obtaining our dream to own a property in the Algarve, paying for a furniture pack and air conditioning unit (with nowhere for it to go!!) and in debt with nothing to show for it.
We put our faith in your company, trusted your advice and gave in readily to your high pressure sales.
Please, please Mr. Smedley I'm begging you to contact me so that we can try and sort things out. You know who I am.

I also have spoken with this company previously and was considering an 'inspection trip' with them however after doing some reasearch found some very close link to MRI Overseas Property. Mr Smedley used to work for this company as a manager of sorts also another man named Mr Gregson who I believe to be his right hand man at KBS. My personal oponion (which I am very entitiled to) is simply stay away and remember those names as they may well spring up under another company. I do not think Mr Khes Smedley has done himself any favours with the way he has written the above post coming across as 'the big man' who likes blowing smoke up himself. Lets see if he now has the 'gaul' to reply to the above poster, yet another to loose money to this lot.

hi the above poster is right - i knew a lad who worked for kbs a while back and the names to steer clear of in this industry are khes smedley, marc gregson and also recently julie gregson these are all deeply involved in kbs but i believe you have nothing to fear now anyway as kbs property/ realty seem to have closed down but if in the future you see any of the above names of people trading or working as another real estate my suggestion is run for the hills and aviod at all costs!

To all out there who have fallen prey to KBS. If you want to see justice done, we need to speak out and band together. Why should we just let these people walk away with our hard earned cash. If all who have suffered at their hands group together, maybe we will be strong enough to fight them.

For Khes Smedley, Thanks for your email of 2 April. Obviously I have the right to reply to your comments but as all previous contacts have shut down, this appears to be the only way I can contact you. I appreciate what you are saying, it's a shame that the communication between you and your staff seems to be lacking. As you have said in a previous blog, you wish to be contacted directly with any client issues an you can't deny that I have had to result to this site in order to get some response from yourself.
Please Khes, you have all my contact details, lets just have a civilised telephone conversation.
I await your reply.

We also have lost a lot of money through this company and the solicitors that appear to be working hand in hand with.
It looks like they are now operating on the Silver Coast so to anyone out there who might be tempted to get involved with them PLEASE DON'T they are a bunch if very unpleasant and dangerous people.
We are taking legal action against them and the Solicitors that they introduced to us.
If anyone would like to get in touch with me to discuss please do...the more people who have been unfortunate enough to be scammed bt them that complain and fight for their money back the better. we are also conserving going to the TV show Watchdog.

There is information online showing Khes Barry Smedley & Alexander Easdon as directors of several companies KBS Property Investments, Find Your Home Alone, Europe Alarm Systems. There are address details showing these companies registered at 3 Bridgefield Mews, Bridgefield Drive, Bury BL9 7UE. and 3 Maclure Road, Rochdale OL11 1DN

There is also a Mr Raymond Smedley registered as director.

There seems to be a common theme to many of the online posts about Mr Smedley, going back to his time with MRI up to the present day with KBS.

Happy hunting people.

Mr Khes Barry Smedley took €14,000 from us for a furniture package in Vilamoura Portugal.
We did not complete on the property and asked for a money back months ago. We only just discovered that he is no longer trading. We tracked him down to RB Smedley Insurance Brokers run by his father RB Smedley. RB Smedley had told us he knew nothing about it but that clearly isn't the case. When we finally spoke with Khes Smedley he said he gave our money to a supplier in Portugal who also went bust but wouldn't give details.
We do not have any evidence that the money went to a third party.
We are pursuing this through the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.
He is trying to dissolve the company rather than liquidation. Anyone with evidence of money owed to them in the last 6 months can raise an objection to this by contacting Companies House and quoting Registration 6967114 to object to the striking off of the company.

Stealth of Funds

I wish I had seen this website prior to committing my funds to Mr. Smedley and his coterie of thieves.
I, too, have become the unwitting 'victim' of this, admittedly clever but absolutely amoral person who, as I see from the posting he has made above, considers himself 'a successful business man' - you wouldn't win any prizes on Dragon's Den Mr. Smedley - or against any other ethical organisation. I see quite clearly that he, Mr. and Mrs. Gregson, their so-called 'mortgage advisor', Maria Rosario Marinhos, and the Portuguese solicitors Nunes Melo Associates are all hiding behind a carefully constructed facade of near-truths and little publicised archaic Portuguese law. I was informed by their representative that the father of the head of Nunes Melo was solicitor to the King of Portugal. Portugal has been a republic for over 100 years and consequently has not had a king for a very long time!
You are not a successful businessman, Mr. Smedley. You are a con-artist who feeds off the dreams, and life-savings, of the honest, trusting people on whom you prey and then tread into the dust without compassion or a second thought.
