Sean O'Neal Reviews

We told you Sean was a hero

Well, here it is 2 years after these slanderous remarks regarding Sean were written and as always time has told us a lot. Richard Houghton and Susan Sidwell were in Cahoots and needed a fall guy. Houghton has embezzled millions and stole from Sean and his only out was to make up ridiculous stories. Sean is being hailed as a hero in Mexico and is continually receiving thanks for many people who almost fell in Richard Houghton and his pet stripper's web of fraud and lies.

Sean is a Hero

Sean has exposed Richard Houghton and his accomplice Allison Zaner from Florida as having committed the largest land fraud in the history of Cancun and the Riviera Maya.

He has saved countless people through his awareness program of the horrible crimes that Richard Houghton has committed against society and still is. Just Google Richard Houghton scam or Investment Properties Mexico scam and you be the judge.

Sean O’Neal, of O’Neal Strategy Group, has been charged with fraud of a client, a 66 year old retired woman, from whom he took her entire life savings ($375,000 USD) and on 3 separate occasions had her deposit the money into his old son O’Neal’s US bank account (with a small amount handed to him in cash as well).

Over the course of a year, in three separate transactions, Sean O’Neal defrauds the victim with 3 fictitious sales and investments. (copies of payments below)

1. A cashier’s check for $140,000 USD, made out to his son O’Neal, is given to Sean supposedly for an investment that he promised would return her 12% annually.

2. Victim wires $145,000 USD to Sean O’Neal’s son O’Neal’s US Bank account supposedly to buy a 1 bedroom condo.

The offer to purchase was never presented to the owners of the condo, they never sold the condo to the victim, were never aware such a “sale” was made by Sean and never received any funds from this supposed sale.

3. A check for $76,000 USD, again made out to his son O’Neal is given to Sean along with $14,000 USD cash. The victim had decided that she did not like the 1 bedroom condo so Sean O’Neal fictitiously sells her another condo owned by same condo owners (the condo owners were friends of his and he had keys to the condo as well as knew when they would be out of town). This money was supposedly for the difference in price between the 2 condos. Again the sale was never discussed with the condo owners, they never sold the condo to the victim and never received any funds for said sale.

Five months after the victim supposedly had bought the 2nd condo, the property manager of her “new condo” writes her to say “I’m really surprised with your email, the condo is not listed because the real owners of the condo showed up, and explain that the transaction didn’t happened.” The victim begins to investigate after she is unable to get any answers from Sean and slowly discovers the depth of the fraud that he had committed.

Sean leaves the country in a “midnight move”, moving his wife and 3 children in the middle of the night leaving their 4 staff members at their house wondering what happened and suddenly without jobs or severance pay.

Over a year later, Sean has his wife, Ana O’Neal, send fraudulent and back-dated documents to the victim to try to cover his tracks.

A criminal law suit has been filed by the victim against Sean O’Neal for fraud and arrest warrants are in process.

It has since come out that charges have also been filed against Sean O’Neal in Mexico for rape and statutory rape by a Mexican girl that he had gotten pregnant when she was 17 years old in 2013.

Sean O’Neal is currently residing in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA doing business as O’Neal Strategy Group with an office in Rolling Hills Estates, CA. .onealstrategygroup.org

Sean o’neal committed fraud and defrauded me $375,000 for condos that he never actually sold to me and an investment that he never actually registered. He lied to me for years and hid the fact that the condo owners never sold the condos to me, he just took the money for himself that i had deposited in his son dylan o’neal’s bank account, always telling me “don’t worry”, “you are 100% safe with me”, “you are family”, “we love you” and more, all complete bu**s***.

Sean o’neal is a fraud and a great liar. Beware!!! He uses his wife ana aguilar o’neal to send fraudulent documents and receive fraudulent money in her bank account and his preschool son accounts.

Here is the “quick” version of what happened:

April 23rd 2013. I send sean o’neal a cashiers check for $140,000 usd made out to his preschool son to be deposited in account in california. $20,000 was supposedly to purchase land and $120,000 to invest at 12%. (i find out later this was never registered with any company, and the transactions never happened, sean o’neal just took the money for himself and never transferred it to the company that the investment was supposed to be with).

August 1st 2013. I wired $145,000 usd to sean o’neal to his preschool son account in california to purchase a 1 bedroom condo in a development called belmar unit b1 on the lagoon in puerto aventuras (i find out later the owners of this condo never sold the condo to me, and never received any of the money).

February 27th 2014. I sent sean o’neal $90,000 with a check for $76,000 usd made out to his son , and i also gave him $14,000 usd in cash. I had decided that i did not like the 1 bedroom belmar condo, so sean told me i could just give him this money and he could transfer the sale to a different condo (supposedly this was the difference in price). (i find out later that i was never sold this condo when the owners showed up and changed the locks on me). (i also found out later that sean o’neal instead used this $90k to pay back 2 other people he had taken personal loans with, one of whom said that sean o’neal told him to “not tell his business partner rich about the loan, he didn’t want him to know, he needed the money to pay for an abortion for a girl he had gotten pregnant”, who was obviously not his wife).

February 27th 2014. Sean o’neal gave me a fraudulent receipt signed by himself that i have purchased and am owner of chac hal lal h-101. I am the sole owner, a balance of $14,000 is still owed so as to avoid closing costs which are 10%. The property is 100% owed by me and all rental income is mine and sean is not entitled to any financial gain. He also gave me letter that i am owed $6,000 usd by sean for interest accrued at 12% since august 2013.

So, i come down to mexico and move all of my stuff into “my” new condo and setup a rental program with the property manager for all the time i am not there. (i find out later sean was friends with the owners and knew when they were out of town so he gave me the keys pretending it was mine while they were out of town and didn’t know what was happening).

July 17th 2014. I find out the condo is not mine. Debbie the property manager at the chac hal al condo emails me “i’m really surprised with your email, the condo is not listed because the real owners of the condo showed up, and explain that the transaction didn’t happened.”

July 19th 2014 sean tells me “we are still in control of the money so you really have 0 to worry about amiga.” (what a complete lie)

July 20th 2014 sean o’neal tells me via email “hi there. I thought you understood. No, they do not have your money [the condo owners]. They were never clear on their end where they wanted the money sent too. They do not have a dime of your money. It is with the company here in mexico.” (but 17 days later he tells me actually no, the money is not with the company)

August 6th 2014. Sean o’neal texts to me “please don’t say anything to richard. You did good. The reason being is we were running this not through our company per se so as to avoid commissions.” (so he admits the money never went to the company nor the condo owners)

September 13th 2014 sean emails me “you will not lose a penny with me involved and move here with us. Plenty of room and we love and adore you!!!”

October 2nd 2014 sean emails me “the entire 360k is earning you 12% until you decide to pull it. Hope that gives you some comfort until we can speak.” (but i didn’t sign up for 12% interest, i bought land and 2 condos…. He hadn’t invested any of the money in any of the condos or investments as he has just admitted on august 6).

March 27th 2015 after not getting an answer from sean for months and months, i posted a negative review on the company’s facebook page.

March 28th 2015 richard, the owner of the company, called me puzzled because his company had never done any business with me so he cannot understand why i would

Have posted the negative review? So i proceed to tell him the entire story for the next 2 hours.

April 29th 2015 sean o’neal called me and admitted that he defrauded me.

May 14th 2015 sean o’neal has his wife ana aguilar o’neal send me a fraudulent contract signed by sean via fed ex on company letterhead back dated 18 months to january 2nd 2014 for $370,000 usd at 12% interest. (so he sends me a fraudulent contract for something completely different than what he told me i was buying —- and on the date of the fraudulent contract, i hadn’t even given him $370k yet, i had only given him $285k, what a joke!).

Sean o’neal is bad news and a complete fraud. Do not do any business with sean o’neal ever. He will lie to you to get every drop of money he can. He uses his poor family as accomplices in his crimes. He is an excellent liar. Beware! Sean o’neal is a fraud and a great liar. Beware!!! He uses his wife ana aguilar o’neal to send fraudulent documents and receive fraudulent money in her bank account and his preschool son accounts.
