Verawoods Early Reservation

I saw the ads on Verawoods. I asked my my broker if we can have a tripping to Verawoods. She agreed that we will see it and she rented a car. She was not honest to tell that the project was not yet launched. She brought us to Royal Palm and offered the last 2 units there. She pressured us telling that she rented a car for that tripping and we should make a reservation. We wanted Verawood since it would be pre-selling. She got my 20k as a reservation for Verawood and promised to give the receipt the next day. Until now no receipts were given. I confirmed if the money is with DMCI and she said it's already with DMCI. We called DMCI and they told we cannot make any reservations before the launching of the project. I confirmed it again and she said it is really with DMCI. I saw an RFO condo and I decided to buy it and I asked her to give back my 20k. She told me that it's with DMCI already. I told her that I'll just get it directly from DMCI since the project was not yet launched. She suddenly told that she will check if her dept head had an OR of it and it would be hard to get it back. She deposited my 20k to Royal Palm as a downpayment so I wont be able to get it anymore. I signed the reservation indicating that it's for Verawood. I'm wondering now how she reserved it for Royal Palm. I will be informing DMCI of what she did and I hope to get my 20k back. Be careful of dealing with MARIA LAYA "LALAI" EBASAN. She is petite and has pig-like attitude.
