The founder of OneMove, the firm that promised to pay subscribing agents’ weekly advertising costs to the tune of £50 million, appears to be flourishing in Canada.
Surrey-based OneMove took down its ‘television’ service and ‘parked’ its website earlier this summer, while phone callers are still being told the UK telephone number is temporarily unavailable. It is understood that the company has left unpaid debts in this country.
But now a blog has appeared online, called lifeaafteronemove, and is posted online by none other than founder Neil Patel. In it, he talks about days by the pool, playing golf, eating in the finest restaurant in Winnipeg, setting up new companies and “plotting my next millions”. He also talks about becoming a licensed realtor.
In his blog, Patel says he has had a ‘good start’ in his new life in Winipeg, Canada.
Choice excerpts (reproduced as they appear) include: “Well life after OneMove what a few years of a fantastic journey again met the good, bad and ugly. How much did i learn? that will only be seen when I launch the next business. The ideas are flowing and I have a new office thanks to my great father in law Adrian.
“A fancy glass desk and next week a new company will be formed which will create 5 new websites in different sectors with a social networking aspect to it. A flight to India to set up a team to develop my ideas and slowly start bringing some trusted previous friends into the fold if they want more pain that is no FUN! and make some MONEY!
“Got to tell you i am taking my realtor license exams oh my GOD! Back to school might even try an MBA next.”
Patel also ponders the possibility of writing a book on how to start a company for under £1,000.
One of his latest enterprises is called Property News Today, which features a video made in March on the credit crunch by OneMove television. Patel says the site has the potential to become the Facebook of property.
He goes on: “Keeping motivated is hard but i keep reminding myself that this is how i started last time and it quickly became a big team with a big company syndrome. This time a small team of exceptional talent on a low budget and make profit first … The plan is low low budget but high reward and test test test is my mantra."

he has put numerious people in to financial difficulities.
This Man who looks like a human has cheated his own mum and dad in leicester uk, he forgredley sighned their paperwork and took a remortgage on thei property his dad is 62 and mum about 60 and this scum has taken there life savings and made them virtually homless as he has take a loan in their names by a forged signiture.
his mum and dad who are very innocent people are going door to door now asking people for help as their son has put them in so much trouble.
now it is his mum and dads age to relax as they have worked honestley for over 35 years and he is making them cry...
so to understand this man if he is happy to put his own honest genuine mum and dad through hell who are all we.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE becarefull of this man he is so fake and convincing it is easy to get sucked in to him
only god will able to deal with this unhuman man who is in the form of a human.

Anyone please show me were you have made money rather than lost it with any of these scams from this idiot.
Winnipeg WAKE UP all Bullshit.
Time will get this bullshit artist. He ia a complete fraud who knows only enough to con people out of their money. You will mess with the wrong person eventually Neil and get yours. You are such a waste of our Canadian air, go home already. Con man, liar, thief.
"What happened to good old fashioned business principles of when you make a mistake or provide poor service or quality product then fix it?" - Neils Latest Tweet
He has done it again !!!
Neil is in Winnipeg,
Neil Patel: "Been awake planning the UK launch of Webidiotz learnt many things in the past few hours which will help the launch of our services." Amazed he can have a business in the UK after what he has done...
This guy is a clown. He knows nothing about the internet. Anyone who deals with him is a fool!
The last post sounds like something Neil would post himself. The great thing about Winnipeg is it is small and we in the business community talk. Your reputation will get out there Neil as it already is. You are a liar, con man and a bully. Who will not go far here.
OneMove was never a scam, www.onemovetech.com/. The investment was into a public company. Neil returned his shares www.cnw.ca/en/releases/archive/February2008/13/c9561.html?view=print and took on huge debts in the process, this actually saved the business in Canada. Not the actions of a scam.
Manitoba 1OOO and webidiotz are his latest scams. Manitoba 1000 is an identical scam to OneMove - PROMISING $millions etc. Embarrasing Neil Patel - can wait for life to get one over you...
He's burned us in Winnipeg also, not surprised to find this info on Neil it’s true to his shady character. Buyer beware with Neil and Webidiotz.
Neil Patel is still the same scam artist and liar he was in the UK. Know him in Winnipeg, starting to owe money here too. He is running a company called WebIdiotz fitting name for him, www.webidiotz.com.
If you need any furher infromation let me know.
well.well.well. it would appear that the wolves really are at his door.... he brief glimpse of reailty is forgone... his company is being liquidation and countless number of people and businesses are left in tatters... His registered office is his PERSONAL HOME ADDRESS, what an idiot... good job he's in Canada out of the way.. although I believe from other sources he does pop back from time to time.... another failed business attempt.... I know Neil lets think of someone else for you to rip off.... perhaps you could be the next Simon Cowell.. on Canadian Xfactor or know sorry they only have judges who've been succesfful but you coudl star in WANNABE factor..... yes thats right you WANNABE something that you clearly are not.... SUCCESSFUL..... DREAM ON NEIL..... I only hope that, that poor wife of yours sees sense and kicks your arse back over here...

Hi Neil!
I'm pleased you couldn't challenge me on anything I said about you. Is that because my opinion is shared by the majority of people you meet?
RUMORS ABOUT ME:
I was sacked from OneMove - the only time I've been sacked. So what? Your reason - Facebook. Ha ha! I was already looking for another job!
If you listened to my ideas for OneMove, the company would have made it's own money, not the figures you made up to con others out of their money.
This "very young girl" I met and fell in love with worked at OneMove. The same girl that laughed in your face when you flirted with her. By the way, we still live together, I'm 28 and she's 20. Does that make me a bad person in your eyes??
What did I sell Neil? Is it the same thing you buy and use? They say it makes you paranoid... YOU are the fool who lives the "high" life.
RUMORS ABOUT YOU?
You try to embarass me with your rumors about me. I CHALLENGE YOU! I am happy to confirm or deny any rumor about me - are you man enough to do the same???
Q. Is it true you've been to prison for trying to blackmail a supermarket with a suspect package?
Q. Is it true that you frequently use Class A drugs because you can't handle your drink?
Q. Is it true that you have repeatedly cheated on your wife and the mother of your children?
I know the answers but I'm looking forward to your replies.

Neil is a liar and and a crook. Do not trust him, he lives in his own imaginary make believe world. He actually said to me once that "I'm probably the largest company you supply", he was bosting thinking he was Richard Branson trying to make me feel small, guess what Neil I'm still in business and I don't owe anybody any money, you are so sad!
If it wasn't for the dozy plonker that worked as organisational head , there could have been a better chance of the company making a success or at least still be here today ,not saying everything else was right but when figures submitted are just plain cooked up you dont stand a chance !!! who really is to blame ?
I was another employee... Neil lied so much he didnt knoe what was reality in the end! He had his wife on payroll, was so dumb it was laughable (so much for the MBA!! LOL) He loved himself...but he shouldnt have. Had a look at the new 'site' NICE. Have to say there was a lot of us who have a drink the day we found out he FAILED.
Certainly do believe he needs to get in touch with reality. He took my life savings under false pretences. I dont hate the guy - I just feel sorry for him. Life is the great equaliser! What comes around goes around!
We've all suffered as a result of OneMove's demise, some more than other yes but I think we need to move on now, and not let ourselves be drawn into open conflict. Businesses fail all the time for numerous reasons and this one is really no exception from them in reality. No matter who was at the helm, OneMove wouldn't of survived in the current market, it just didn't have enough captial to survive.
What has this become?! Just dreadful!
is this the greg, who can't hold a job, down and lives in a box room with mummy and daddy. Is this the greg that if rumors are correct got sacked at OneMove after falling in love with a very young girl. Is this the greg who thought he was a good agent in chiswick.oh and the greg who sells cxxxxxx.
This man has an absolute nerve. I am sure I speak on behalf of many many francisees and business people he has worked with. He is a liar, a scammer and should face his problems he has caused and money he has cost people in the UK. If what comes around goes around then this man has what's coming to him. To all canadians - BEWARE.
I wonder how bad Cherry Matthews was stung? Patel is a pathetic excuse for a human and an incredible waste of space.
neil patel should come with a health warning i agree totally with the others comments posted. He lives in a dream world at everyone else's expense.. There is a queue of his ex business associates in the UK that would love to track this leach down and regain thousands of pounds he has wasted and taken under false pretences..Also interesting that he doesn't mention his prison record for blackmail, maybe he will when he writes his intended best seller..
He has not achieved anything in his life apart from setting up an estate agency (2 offices in the same town) and making some money while the housing market was booming in the UK. He declared bankruptcy on Maddsions and then moved into form OneMove UK with the help of OneMove Tech Plc in Canada. OneMove Tech invested heavily setting up the UK branch and neil patel excegerated the sales figures etc and only to realise that the operation never going to live up to his promises and decided full the flug off in early 2008. For his personal ego he decided to run the UK operation with a lot of promises. He played with borrowed money from the bank etc. he even got one of the OneMove employee to invest in the company (£50K for 2 % of the company). This poor lad invested in after looking at Neil’s exaggerated sales figures, only after 2 weeks of joining the company as marketing director.
As a former employee of Neil Patel and OneMove, I can testify to his vision, his achievements and his work ethic.
He sees himself as a global player, a CEO of the highest calibre, positioning himself amongst the ranks of Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Alan Sugar, etc. He is frustrated because this vision is not shared by those outside his household.
His achievements are legion, from his perspective. Whilst having started companies with great potential, none of these businesses have delivered, leaving a trail of broken promises and and burnt fingers.
In my opinion, he is a chancer of the highest order and should not be trusted.
