International Financial Partners, Inc Jack Ryan, Joshua Lawrence, Allison Black, Deborah McLauren, Carlos Sanchez, Craig Crofton, Chris Walker, Alex Castillo, Hector Timeshare Brokers using fraud location, names and scamming people out of money Diamond Bar California
International Financial Partners contacted me by phone, both home and cellphone. Deborah McLauren knew about my timeshare in Mexico. Had account number, my address and other information. Allison Black was the broker, nasty smoker's voice was to finish the contract and send the closing docs to Investment Capital Group in Burlingame, CA to do the escrow and transfer of title.
IFP stated that because the property was in Mexico I had to pay capital gains to Carlos Sanchez, director of SAT. Then, tax for the transfer and 10% good faith for part of the balance on the timeshare still owing. I paid, paid and paid.
Investment Capital Group sent me the email to transfer funds to Banamex Bank in Mexico to account held by Daniel Andrade Uscanga, the beneficary. 10% good faith went to Luis Gonzalez at the same bank. Craig Crofton was the escrow officer in charge and his manager was Chris Walker. Hector answered the phone. Which now the phone work, but go straight to voice mail.
$18K later, I am broke, have receipts from Banamex Bank with wire transfer information, but there was no money in the account to make the transfer. Lies, Lies, Lies......
I still have the timeshare, which I have contacted Palace Resorts to let them know my information was probably taken from an employee.
I sent someone to International Financial Partners in Diamond Bar, CA and talk to Jack Ryan or Josh Lawrence. He reported back they were nervous and said no one by that name worked here.
On Friday, April 3, 2015, Fedex a letter to Internation Financial Partners and according to the carrier the business is closed.
I also sent a letter to Investment Capital Group, which the owner called me and stated I was not the only one IFP scammed, but they were also using all there information, such as license, address and Craig Crofton. They have file a report with the FBI and every other agency, because these scammers are using his name.
Today, April 7, 2015, I received an email from Jack Ryan and Alex Castillo says there are sorry the took my money.
Where do I go from here? The email today has a new phone number and Alex Castillo is a new name. There website is still up and running, but the 800's does not work.
If anyone else has dealt with International Financial Partners, Inc. or Investment Capital Group.org, please contact the Burlingame police department or FBI.

I am the Broker of Record or a relatively new mortgage broker company called International Financial Partners, Inc.
We have been horrified as it has come to our attention that scammers have been using our business name and mailing address to scam other people. This is a very sneaky tactic to further deceive the victims of this scam. Because when someone tries to look up “International Financial Partners, Inc.” our name and NMLS and BRE license numbers comes up, making their scam sound more legitimate.
International Financial Partners, Inc. is a mortgage brokerage. We are a valid company and are licensed with NMLS and BRE. We are only licensed and work in California. In no way, do any of our business dealings have anything to do with any time shares in Mexico. None of the listed names are people who work for us.
As soon as we realized this was going on, we filed a report with the FBI, and the Better Business Bureau. As well, we have filed a police report regarding this issue, and if you feel you have been misled or scammed by these people, than we encourage you to do the same. The report we filed to our local police station in Walnut/Diamond Bar, California. 909-595-2264. Report # 91502528-2922-112
Because we are a new company, we have only recently gotten our website up and running. Our legitimate website is: http://www.internationalfinancialpartners.net. The scammers had a fake website under our name. The only information of ours that was listed on the website was the name: International Financial Partners, Inc, and our mailing address which was 402 S Prospectors Rd. Diamond Bar, C 91765. This site’s address is http://www.internationalpartnersinc.com/. This website was not ours, nor did it represent our services that we offer. Due to our efforts, this website has been taken down.
We have been extremely frustrated that these scammers have been using our name to steal money from innocent people. Not only are these poor people being misled and stolen from, but it has hurt our name and business in the process.
We are saddened that the name of Intnernational Financial Partners, Inc has been used in such a way that harm has come to others. We simply ask to be clearly separated from these scammers.
Thank you,
George Santana

An additional note: For reasons unrelated to this issue, we have recently moved form 402 S Prospectors R. Diamond Bar, CA 91765 to 1200 Diamond Bar Blvd. #205 Diamond Bar, CA 91765. This would explain why any recent mail may have not reached us, and why 402 S Prospectors Rd. address has been vacated.

April 7, 2015, Received an email from International Financial Partners. They are sorry they took my money.
Double check all phone numbers in the Ripoff Report. Two new names: Anthony Garcia and Alex Castillo @ 909-863-4177 and 866-978-7613. Also, 909-531-4022. Alison Black: 909-531-4022.
They are using Banamex Bank in Mexico under the name of Daniel Andrade Uscanga. Also, BBVA Bancomer SA under the name of: Luis Gonzalez (Probably Carlos Sanchez-SAT)
The Mexican logo on the SAT forms is not correct. That came from their flag, no the seal of the government.
The business in Diamond Bar on 402 S Prospectors Rd., Ste G is no longer there. We went there last month and each room had desk, chair, computer and phone. I do believe this was their location. But, they ran.
There website is still running...and the 909-863-4177 is still being used by Internation Financial Partnrs.
