I, too, was approaached by Christopher Lido on behalf of Larken & Larken. I believe it is a fraudulent company trying to bilk us out of more money. I contacted Profeco, who do not believe Larken & Larken are legitimate. it was nice to think we might get our money back but not worth losing $1695 to try. Profeco said that under Mexican law, people have 1 year to pursue a fraudulent company. we bought in 2009 and nothing has been done at the site! It looks the same as we saw it in 2009! Stay away! They will just take more money. Hotel U is no better! [Q=ronaldk103] I RECEIVED NUMEROUS CALLS FROM A VOLUNTEER WORKING WITH LARKEN AND LARKEN, PROMISING THAT I WOULD RECEIVE MY MONEY BACK FROM THE BEL AIRE SCAM. I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF FILLING OUT FORMS AND SENDING A COPY OF MY DRIVERS LICENSE. I TOLD HIM THAT I WASN'T PAYING ANY UPFRONT MONEY TO GET THE FUNDS. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T REQUIRED, SO I WENT ALONG WITH THE PROCESS. A FEW DAYS LATER A DANNY MARTINEZ CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS APPROVED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAYA FILING FEE OF $1695. I TOLD HIM THAT I WANTED TO SEE HIS CREDENTIALS AND DRIVERS LICENSE FIRST. HE DENIED THE REQUEST AND SENT ME A REFERRAL NAME IN CALIFORNIA. I DIDN'T RESPOND AND HE LEFT ME A SCATHING REPLY ON VOICEMAIL, THAT IF I DIDN'T SEND THE FUNDS, HE WOULD REPORT ME TO I.R.S. BECAUSE I WAS ENTITLED TO THE MONEY AND WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAXES. GIVE ME A BREAK. THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO CONCIENCE AND WOULD HURT ANYONE FOR A BUCK.. STAY AWAY.[/Q]
