American Advantage Tilte Stole thosands of dollars that they were holding in escrow San Antonio, Texas

This service promised to keep thousands of dollars in escrow and pay them out by a specific date. They provided us with an access number to "see" the funds. We checked on the site and the funds were there. The transfer date has come and gone with no funds having been transfered to us. Our phone calls and emails have gone unanswered and then became "unable to send". Now their website is gone. What is the legal recourse to keep these people accountable for their actions? Why should we have to suffer?
