Description

I am purchasing a condo in La Paz Mexico and was looking for a loan. I joined the La Paz Facebook group and there are lenders as well as realtors, and US & Canadian citizens moving to La Paz in that group. I saw Isabel's post re. loans and relocation assistance. I reached out to her with the intention to obtain a loan, and paid a loan application fee of US$1000. Then she asked for US$1800 to apply for Mexico residency. I have yet to receive a loan contract and residency application updates or status even though I've been asking for updates. Shortly after, Isabel said the company (Yax International) needed money to help Mexican immigrants, she sent me loan documents stating the purpose and the amounts. She asked for US$550, then US$2500, then US$8000. She continued to ask for more and bigger loans to which I replied these outstanding loans need to be repaid first. She asked me for my bank info to wire the funds to me - the wire never arrived. She said she'd check with the bank. There was one excuse after another - the bank is closed, the bank doesn't open till 10am etc. I never got an answer about the wire. Then she lied that she was at the consulate and asked if she could call me because they had questions for her. She never called. I asked for loan docs and contracts, I never got them. She promised payments week after week....nothing has been received.
