Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
Mr.Jonathan Abbinante with Realty Growth Investors (supposedly a UTAH Corp) hounded us about our Mayan timeshare (Jonathan Abbinante stating NO up-front money, offered $36,989) Then we were required to pay $5775.00 to Mayan for release of property and $4058.78 for registering us as a required Mexican Foreign Investor. Funds were sent to Mexico where their "attorney" was handling things on that end. Receipts indicate Robles Gonzalez & Asociados. All funds were to be reimbursed to us at closing. The company in New Jersey, Escrow Accounts Services, LLC (EASLLC), very much involved in this scam, doing most of the work and supposedly holding the funds in escrow. We actually had a pin number where we could see the "non-refundable escrow funds from the buyer to us". They are registered with the NJ Secretary of State. There where many threatening calls from them when we tried to back out of the "contract".
