Have had a very similar experience and want desperately to get back over $11000.00 we have already paid into the company that we are apparently unable to go anywhere thru. HELP!!! Any suggestions, anybody get a resolution to this problem? Any way to get money back? We have stopped payments and have had the same response-NONE- to our many complaints and left messages-NONE!!! Only someone calling asking why we had not sent our payment, when I alreeady warned several people that until I had a call back to address my concerns I would not be paying another penny. Nothing!!

the e-mail address of one of them is rgoon@elcid.com.mx
We have been robbed too. there is no other expression for it. we paid 4000.-- us$ and will not pay another penny even if I have to relocate or do whatever it takes so they won't find me. after the 5 day period is up it seems there is little we can do. My credit card company would have reversed the charges if I could have shown to them that I cancelled within the 5 days. depending how much of an annoyance you can be for them some people appear to have been succesful to cancel but then they are not allowed to talk about it anymore. So I have no idea if they lost their original deposit in full or got some back. any ideas????

My family and I went on a cruise to Mexico last summer. After one of our excursions was cancelled, we were offered the 'free' food, use of pool, etc. for a 90 minute pitch. Having been unable to vacation as a family in a 'normal' capacity due to my disabled son (who passed away nearly 3 years before our trip...this was our first vacation without him) we were elated at the prospect of more vacations...and free!! Upon arriving home and looking on the REAL internet site, we discovered this must be a scam. Stopped payments immediately.
Now, I have a $15, 000.00 collection account on my credit report from these theif liars!
Any help with getting this removed and getting our down payment back would be appreciated!
Thank you,
P.Engle

I understand how you feel!

First, I tried to get my down payment back without success. I spent hundreds of dollars in calls to the customer service of the resort. I contacted the PROFECO, the consulate and again without success!
And then I contacted a mexico law firm, they canceled my contract and in 3 weeks they got my down payment!

Agree 100 percent. DO NOT TRUST MONTALBO FAMILY. Something needs to be done to jail that whole family of Montalbo. His name is Juan Carlos Montalbo (Mexican heritage not Philippine) and he goes by many aliases like Johnny etc. He and his family have no regard for what damage they do to others. It is a fact that they did a lot of damage to families in the following US cities in Texas: Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels, San Antonio and surrounding communities. This does not include the other states he has had similar scams in: Godsboro, North Carolina (and surrounding cities); N. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (and surrounding cities); and Dover, Delaware. He has used his business associate's and family and friends' names and account numbers to cover his scams, then he leaves town and them holding the bag of responsibility. It would not be a bad idea to contact the FBI who I hear has been following him for some time. Provide them with as much information as possible. They will pick him up when her comes back to the US and probably seize his assets and pay back some of the damages.
