Can anything be done about protection from timeshare scammers? We’d like to report what we believe to be a fraud. In addition to the amount of money for their programs, now there are organizations that specialize in "Sell Backs" and civil suits with empty promises in exchange for more money.
We’d like to bring this to your attention. A communication with Absolute Private Services in New York, Abogados Vival Y Asociados in Mexico and other people that have contacted us as well.
Mr. Jerry Peterson, Office Investigator representing Absolute Private Services, 77 Water Street, 8th floor, Manhattan, New York, 10005 (Phone 646-760-5405), contacted us about a class action lawsuit against the owners of La Jolla, aka Punta Pacifico and Hotel Encanto Bahia, timeshare in Mazatlan, Mexico.
In ensuing phone and/or email conversations, we received various forms to fill out including forms from the Roberto Castellanos Garcia Lic, assigned to our case, Law firm ABOGADOS VIVAL Y ASOCIADOS, Fuente bella 3299, Piso 14, Ciudad de México, 14130.
Court award $59,158.63USD. We applied for temporary residency and a bank account. (EVERY communication included queries and reassurances by each involved parties that NO MONEY would be required from us.)
Correspondence followed with a "necessary fee" for $3,500 USD to activate a "Custodial account" through Alejandro Rodrigues Munoz, Ejecutivo de Finanzas, BBVA, in Mexico, (BBVA México S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Avenida Paseo de la Reforma 510 Cuauhtémoc Juárez, CDMX. México C.P 06600, [email protected]).
Correspondence followed with a "necessary fee" for SAT (Servicio de Admininistracion Tributaria, Lic. Manuel Florez Elizondo, Director de Registros, SAT Mexico regarding "Disbursement Guarantee of dividends withheld in account R00768.SHCP/SAT-0071315293 amount of $59,158.63USD, for payment of 16% fee in the amount of $9,465.38USD!
We offered to provide a promissory note to cover all the fees to be paid upon release of the funds. We don’t have the money to pay the fees, but we could if those fees were deducted from the disbursement amount! Catch 22… got money but can’t access it until we pay more money! What a silly way to run a civil law suit!!!
We feel that we are being taken advantage of by all concerned in this law suit.
P.S. And wouldn’t you know it… Now they want $3,495.98USD MORE MONEY to stop and quit the action!!!!
