Carole Legare Frank Mata Offered work in Mexico ended up stealing all my personal info and used it to fabricate false paperwork. Puerto Vallarta Jalisco Mexico

I saw an internet posting with a job offer that required a real estate agent with residence and license to practice in California. Everything about the posting seemed extremely legitimate so I did not hesitate to send in my resume. Their reply to me was a phone call telling me they wanted to meet me before certainly hiring me so they flew up California and I met them. The meeting went well and they promised a great wage and amazing hours as well. They asked I fill out their "application form" so they could submit it to the head office for approval. In this form all my important info AKA house and mailing address, Social Insurance Number, Health insurance information, etc. was requested. Just like any other real job those fields are normally requested as well. Little did I know that Legare and Mata were actually scammers in Mexico and they had taken my info back to use for illigal purposes. 

I got a call from Mata saying that unfortunately head offices had covered the position they were looking for and that I was no longer going to be hired. A few weeks later a friend of mine in Puerto Vallarta called me and just casually during our conversation I told her about Mata and Legare.  Instantly she told me that something was definitely wrong and it sounded like a scam to her so she promised she would look into these people for me. Less then a week later I recieved an email from her telling me to cancel all my accounts and report to the FBI and IRS that my identity could possibly have been stolen and report my whole story because apparently the word of mouth in town was that Mata and Legare work together scamming with a group of people who call themselves "the cooks" because they claim that one is always in their kitchen. 

After the FBI investigated into the matter they found out that Legare and Mata used my name in a bogus lawsuit going on in Mexico involving a development called Acqua Flamingos. The FBI was extremely helpful in my protection and I feel that without their help the possibility of just flying down to Mexico one day and getting arrested going through customs would have become reality.
