Re: Is BBVA Bancomer Facilitating Mexican timeshare scams? (by John A.):
This began as a Mexican timeshare sale with BNB LLC with an address of 1400 Park Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404. The senior broker is Lynn M. Knight. They used an escrow company, CAll, C.W. with Myra Abbas, the primary escrow officer. Their phone # 602-428-7302. Address listed as 4341 E. Thomas Rd., Phoenix AZ 85018. They sent contracts and all sort of official looking documents. Very smooth crap. Then the scam really began with wire transfer money to cover Certificate of Naturalization. Next request was for Tax Identification Number. Next as for State Tax. Next was for Legal Recording. Next was Customs Clearance.Next was a Bond to Citibanamex to insure all this money was not received due to illegal sources. All of this money was being shown as deposited into a Citibanamex including the purchase price of $28,800 US. If the bond money found a problem I was to get my money back and the deal cancelled. Before that happened, Citibanamex transferred the account to BBVA who wanted an additional $11,000+ bond to proceed. Of course, the escrow is out of contact with me and Lynn Knight wants more money. Citibank has washed their hands since they transferred the money to BBVA. There appears to be Mexican attorneys, at least in name & title , involved in this scam. Neither the states of MN or AZ could care less unless one of a resident of those states. Just beware to stay away from Citibanamex and BBVA in Mexico, they are enablers.
