A fraud disguised as paradise is what two Americans, Jennifer Lynn Hayes, from Melbourne, Florida, and Sally Roan, from Houston, Texas, ages 62 and 60 respectively, acquired.
They purchased a home in the Rancho San Lucas subdivision in Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos Municipality, through a trust with Prime Real Estate of Cabo S.A. de C.V. and Banca Mifel.
The foreign women invested their savings in a “retirement home” in Los Cabos; they intended to live there with their families and enjoy the beaches, but it all turned out to be a scam. Jennifer and Sally agreed that it is time to speak out and punish the fraudsters who prey on the foreign community, most of whom are senior citizens.
“We are being defrauded of millions of dollars. Jennifer and I have decided to be the catalyst to pursue these people and achieve justice, so that others can see they are not alone in this country. Without a doubt, this is the worst nightmare for all these people. Most in this community are over 50, many over 60. These are their life savings to have this retirement home and be able to retire with joy and excitement, instead of the nightmare they face daily because the house is falling apart,” lamented Sally Roan.
The attorney representing the foreign community, José Antonio González, revealed that this “village” is embroiled in a massive legal fraud, including the illegal sale and theft of public utilities, which are supplied to foreigners at their convenience, imposing their rates for unreliable electricity and contaminated “drinking” water.
“It’s a lawless land; they charge for everything, even electricity, when none of the houses have a single meter, they charge for water, even though the water isn’t potable, among other problems. We’ve already filed for an injunction, but we’ll also seek justice in the United States, because the crime of conspiracy is clear,” denounced José Antonio González.
