Virginie Guerra-Mondragon and Andres Guerra-Mondragon, owners of Air Parcel Express, Inc., stole over $5,000 from me in September 2016. I was induced, by what I believe were fraudulent representations, to wire over $5,000 to them for shipping a container internationally.

Within minutes of me initiating the wire transaction, I was informed that I would have to pay several hundred dollars more if I wanted to actually have the container shipped to the intended destination. I told the Air Parcel Express that I would not pay anymore than what the quote represented. I told Air Parcel Express to reject the wire and to return my specifically earmarked funds immediately. Air Parcel Express agreed.

Air Parcel Express, however, did not reject the wire and did not return my money in September 2016. I called Virginie Guerra-Mondragon to discuss this fraud and theft. She first stated that I was subject to a 5% penalty because I was not going to ship my container with them. My attorney called her, and she agreed to drop the penalty because it was Virginie and Andres who were at fault in this case.

Then, Virginie represented she would repay my stolen funds with two installment payments in October 2016. She didn't make any payments to me in October 2016. I had to initiate contact with her regarding this continued theft and fraud. Virginie engaged in several misrepresentations over the next few months regarding non-payments on dates she scheduled in October and November 2016, such as: 1.

she company had no money to pay me (even though in January 2017, she admitted to my attorney that I was just not a priority and there was no need to BS me anymore on this point), 2. that someone hacked their bank account (who would want to *** a bank account with no money), and 3. accountant was sick (was the accountant sick every day?!). The list goes on.

Virginie proceeded to set up several payment dates between January and May 2017 but failed to make timely payments on each of the payment dates she scheduled. The only reason she has repaid any of my funds is because I threatened to sue her and her husband for civil theft in Florida; this would result in treble damages, court costs, and attorney's fees owed to me. I became somewhat of a priority on the date I sent that pre-suit notice for treble damages and she made a small payment to me. Because Virginie thought making that first payment negated my civil theft claims, it has been extremely hard to get additional payments from her.

My attorney has had to e-mail and call Virginie and Andy numerous times to get any payments from them. What Virginie doesn't understand is that there is no mitigation for her felonious intent to deprive me of my specifically earmarked funds in September 2016. At this point, Virginie Guerra-Mondragon and Andres Guerra-Mondragon have become non-responsive despite my reasonable efforts to settle with them out of court for much less than the treble damages amounts to which I am entitled. Case in point, they haven't even repaid almost 1/5 of the initial stolen funds to date, much less any interest and late fees.

Virginie and Andres have failed to provide any substantiation showing their inability to pay me in full. I have asked them for months to show me their financial statements (albeit redacted ones if necessary). They have refused. Virginie and Andres's last settlement proposal was ridiculous--to pay me $100 every two weeks with no additional interest or late fees assessments.

This would take a year to pay off the prior settlement amount to which we agreed. Andres Guerra-Mondragon just represented a few weeks ago that their financial state was much improved. Yet, Virginie and Andres are still playing games with me and not making payments of which they are capable. Virginie and Andres have made many intentional misrepresentations over the past ten months.

Their intentional misrepresentations over the last ten months regarding their inability to pay me have been more than frustrating. I have three young children that have had to go without many things due to the theft and fraud perpetrated on me. I have endured interest and late fee charges of my own due to their intentional non-payment of significant amounts over long-periods of time. I implore anyone looking to ship anything--whether domestically or internationally--to stay away from Virginie Guerra-Mondragon, Andres Guerra-Mondragon, and Air Parcel Express, Inc.

You don't have to look at just my review. There are many reviews on the internet showing what kind of nasty people they truly are. They state that integrity, honesty, and reliability are the cornerstones of their business.

But, I have never been treated in this manner by them. I have only ever been the victim of theft and fraud at their hands.

Reason of review: Theft and Fraud.

Monetary Loss: $15000.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
