My wife and I were frauded out of $five figure sum of money by a broker entity claiming to be out of Chicago named Investment Group, Inc. This is related to the sale of a vacation club membership we entered into with UVC (Unlimited Vacation Club) in April 2015. Below is a timeline of the events as you requested:

-Purchase of Unlimited Vacation Club membership 4/15/15.

-Entered into contract to sell UVC membership with Investment Group.The escrow agent used in the transaction is a company named Transfer Title Co. and the representative from Transfer Title  we communicated with is named Katherine Garner.

-Over the next several weeks (early Nov 2015 through late Dec 2015) Investment Group required us to pay deposits totaling $5 figures. The title company had us send funds to a Mexican Bank named Banco Del Bajio SA.  

-Each time we sent a deposit we would follow up persistently to inquire when closing was going to take place. Several times my calls would not be returned by the either the title agent or Joseph Gordon (the broker agent with Investment Group). When they did call back it was to inform us of another fee/deposit that we had to send.

-I finally informed Joseph Gordon on Fri 2/19 that we wanted to cancel the contract and requested he release the $5-figure deposit back to us. He sent a letter on Wed 2/24 saying they would cancel the contract upon receipt of $1,500 cancellation fee. I emailed him back on Wed 2/24 and said that we would not pay the fee and to send us our money ASAP. I have not heard back from them since despite numerous attempts to call them.
