Thanks bobby k... i don't speak spanish. Ronald artavia knew the person at scotia bank. So she may have been a party to the fraud. It seems i have no claim because i deposited the money into the 'escrow' account.
I put my trust in ronald artavia and he has since moved the money into another account according to the bank.
I have asked numerous people including the consulate. Embassy. Authorities in san jose. And jaco beach where the theft took place. Seems no one can help me!.
One lawyer wants $26,000 us. and i am certain the money is gone. I was told the country 'will protect their own'.
Although it looks pretty bleak for me... thank you for the suggestion..
