MANUEL, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF HOW MANY
PEOPLE YOU HAVE CHEATED & DEFRAUDED!
PEOPLE YOU HAVE CHEATED & DEFRAUDED!
We have been Cheated out of our Investments that we made back 04 June, 2005.
We invested in 8 weeks of Fractional Ownership floating unit at fixed weeks, #'s 49,50.51,52,01,02,03,04
Then we made another contract in Oct. 2005, for Six Months, fixed months, NOV. DEC. JAN.FEB.MAR.APRIL in a Fixed unit # 49.
We also invest in a Private Partnership with Manuel Cristerna to build (5) five homes.
I gave him $80,000 on Dec. 15, 2005, and a 2ND check for $80,000 dollars to be invested on March 15, 2006.
Manuel and Ubaldo canceled our contract because we asked to many questions. But that was not true.
They found other people to invest in the same deal we had. On Feb 14, 2006, Manuel Cristerna and Ubaldo Rojas Ortiz canceled our Private Contract to build five homes, and they said that my money would be sent by electronic transfer to our bank.
Manuel and Ubaldo was to pay back my $80,000 plus interest of $8,500.
The total I was to receive was $88,500. Manuel and Ubaldo only sent to my bank $58,800. The Balance of $29,700 was to pay in full our Villa # 49.
We found out they did not own Villa # 49. They keep my $29,700.
They have built and sold all five homes that I was to profit in. I never wanted to cancel any contracts ever. Manuel & Ubaldo done this to others, the fraud is in the millions. PROFECO, in Mexico City has had our case for over two years now, and they always tell me that they cannot find the people.
I gave them Phone #'s email and contact information, but still PROFECO's reply was that they could not locate them.
I have a law firm in Mazatlan LLAUSAS AZCONA working for us.
So to sum up I have nothing but nothing. I am sure there are many more to come.
We are fractional owners of home #34 from Cannon Beach, OR. We purchased in Feb 2007. Supposedly the house was to be completed by Nov or Dec of 2007 as there was to be this BIG GRAND OPENING celebration that we were to be notified and invited to in December 2007. Never happened! When we went to Mazatlan in June 2007 to check why we were not getting any kind of response back from Manual Cristerna, or his "PR Man" Federico Medrano Barros, we showed up and chased them down. We had a meeting with Federico and he assured us that our home would be ready before we arrived in Feb 2008. Federico said that he would email us pictures to show us of the progress being made on our place. In Feb 2008, when we arrived, our house was not even close to being completed. They had to put us up in another house for our month. In the house that they put us in, it was tastefully furnished but there was still no satellite tv, phone or many of the things that were listed in the contract that we signed. We had to fix the pool ourselves because it did not work. Again, they promised by the next year Feb 2009 that our house would be completed and we would not have to worry about anything. While we were there in 2008, the construction on our home was making progress but when we showed up in Nov 2008, unannounced, no further progress had been made. Obviously, everything just stopped once we left. In Feb 2009 when we arrived, we were given the keys to yet a different house that had no pool, no yard, no dock access, many things in the house were not completed, furnishings had been taken from the Villas and were soiled and ripped. Again, no satellite tv and electricity was actually being wired from the house next door. Additionally, our house #34 was stuffed full of furniture from the Villas. When we asked Federico why our house was being used to store the stolen property, he got very nervous and just laughed, like he always does and said "no no not stolen". But all the furnishings that were being stored at our house were removed within two days. But no work resumed on our house. We were inconvenienced by running out of propane and it took two days for us to get our problem taken care of, when everyone knows that you get service usually within an hour. No one at the office had any cash to pay for it. When we complained about being ripped off, they threatened to have the police throw us out. Manuel trades vehicles with his relatives when he is at the isla because doesn't want anyone knowing when he is there for fear he will be arrested again. Have no idea what Feb 2010 will bring when we arrive for our scheduled visit. Anyone else who has been scammed, please feel free to contact us.
