BNB LLC Insternational Collected wired money for a fake operation offering to broker resale of a Mexican timeshare Minneapolis Minnesota
Sophisticated operation for the resale of Mexican timeshares to a business client purchasing multiple properties for a 5% commission upon receipt of funds to be disbursed. Used CALL, C.W. as escrow company in Phoenix. Legal representation and payment facilitation used Asesores Legales Internacionales in Monterrey Mexico.
All corresponding individuals had working but fake emails and telephone numbers associated with three organizations and phoney websites (http://www.bnbllcinternational.com for BNB; https://condiewayne.com/ for CALL C.W; http://asesoreslegalesinternacionales.com/ for legal representatives). Wire transfers were to legitimate Banco Regional SA Institucion de Banca Multiple and a valid recipient account but fraudulently owned in the name of an individual or company (Gestionet) fronting for the scammers.
Incrementally required wire transfers for fees, taxes, bank insurance bonds, new account fees, etc. Each new requirement surfaced either on or just before a promisted disbursement date, or the disbursement had an error in the delivery account number.
Provided phoney contracts and other legal documents, forged statements from two large Mexican banks (Citibanamex and BBVA Bancomer), and forged Mexican tax agency receipts. Referenced and set up conference calls with individuals posing as legitimate Mexican tax officials or bank representatives. Forged bank statements included a working contact number that connected with representives posing and confirming account information.
Names of each organization were similar to or the same as a legitimate business but with addresses for properties that were closed or operating as a different business. Actual property owners confirmed that there were no such tenants. Key persons fraudulently used stolen names and license/registrations associated with legitimate (unassuming) persons so it appears that each is valid with no consumer complaints, but none of those legitimate persons were associated with the scam companies.
