We were contacted by Susie Quintero, IAP Sales Representative on Dec 11 to purchase our timeshare with Krystal International Vacation Club in Cancun, Mexico. We signed and returned the documents to International Adventure Properties.
We then were contacted by Enzo Montana and were sent Resale Contract documents (Agreement: IAP-97227) to sign and return indicating our desire to use an Escrow Company assigned by the buyer.
This company is Group Seven Title Company, 1201 Walnut Street, Suite 208 Kansas City, Missouri 64106. The Escrow agent is Arthur Mendez.
We received a call and an email from Arthur Mendez on Dec 18. This agent advised us to wire transfer $2090.00 US to a bank in Mexico. This transaction was done on Dec 20.
We then received an email saying that the wire transfer was received.
On Dec 24 we received a telephone call from Arthur Mendez saying that before the monies paid out to us for the resale, we needed to wire $3,344.00 US for Mexican tax.
We decided at this point not to proceed with this resale and sent a letter off to Enzo Montana (International Adventure Properties) and Arthur Mendz (Group Seven Title Company) indicating our decision to cancel this contract and wished to have our money retured to us immediately.
Two attempts of wire transfer of the said money were made, but to this day, we have not received a wire transfer at our bank and both companies are now unreachable by telephone or email.
This is a big scam!
