Dear sir/madam,
I am writing to you to report criminal activities / fraud by Realty Executives Escrow located at 119 East Lakeside Street, Madison, WI 53715 and All City Management Group located at 2144 Television Place, Kansas City, Missouri 64126.
I was contacted by Olivia Atkins of All City Management Group in November claimed to be located in Kansas City, MO, indicating his company was representing a corporate buyer and was interested in purchasing out my Time Share / vacation ownership in Porte Vallarta, MX. I asked her how they got my information and she mentioned that they are brokers and they have access to all vacation ownership properties information including owner name and phone number. She provided me with a sales proposal. I did the some research and found nothing out of the ordinary. I spoke with Olivia and expressed my concerns and she assured me that everything is taken care of and even if the buyer backs out, 50% of the offered price will be paid without claiming my property and she mentioned that there will be no upfront cost to me. Olivia said that once I sign the documents she sent to me the escrow agent handling the closings would be in touch. A few days later I received a call from Jordan Walkers at Realty Executives Escrow, located in Madison, WI. I spoke with Jordan on many occasions and he assured me that they are not one of those companies than SCAM people and he went on and on about their services. Jordan Walker informed me that there will a $3000 charge for their agent to get the ownership information from where I owned my property and the fact that I will be reimbursed and the fact that the escrow account was all set up and the fund is in the escrow and that the transfer would go forward and the closing would take place on January 6. He provided me with access to view the escrow funds that the seller had deposited with his company to show the funds are available and upon completion of the sale would be disbursed to me. A week or so I received a call from Olivia Atkins regarding the tax that will need to be paid to government of Mexico. I was very upset with her and asked why is that she knows about this before I was informed by Jordan Walker and she explained that this had never happened before and this is the new law and so on and that the Country of Mexico will not allow for the transfer until I pay the required transfer fees and income tax. Jordan Walkers provided me with very convincing documentation to support this requirement as well as notifying me that I also had to pay for a notary and transfer agent in Mexico to cover their expenses. I was to wire additional $4200 to a bank account in Mexico. I have all the supporting Documentation and everything that I sent to them if it needs to be shown. I was told that the buyer is not happy about this at all but they will reimburse me at the closing for those fees since they did not want to back down and certainly did not want to pay 50% of the original price of $30K as a penalty and he referred to the escrow which was updated to show the additional money I paid and the increase of funds in the account that the seller had already deposited. I was told due to this delay my closing will not happen until 1/27, but escrow balance sheet was not updated. When I asked them about the escrow balance sheet not being updated on their web site, I was told that everybody is working very hard to solve the problem that the government of Mexico had caused by asking for tax and all charges to be paid up front. Since January 6 was no longer the date they would fund my account, I e-mailed them and asked them about the new closing date and the informed me via e-mail that it would be January 27. I have contacted Realty Executives Escrow the day of January 27 and asked them to talk with Jordan Walkers and I was told that t he is in a meeting with the bank and they could answer any questions I may have and I asked them about the time that the funds would be deposited and they mentioned between 3 and 5 Pm on January 27. Since then, I have tried to contact Olivia Atkins and Jordan Walkers multiple times and left messages for them to return my call, but no answer. I also e-mailed them and asked them to provide explanation, but nothing happened.
I have been in contact with Scotiabank and they just informed me today (2/17) that:
“The transference made by Roshanak Aflatouni, to the account no. 0044578227000002722, corresponds to Scotiabank Mexico, to the name of Trubaesc Company, this was cancelled on December for having been involved in fraudulent operations affecting third parties.” But, no additional information was provided.
