This company advertises online and on AirBnB to provide high quality temporary housing and furnishings but when we arrived after purchasing a stay through this company, we discovered our temporary housing had rampant mold, extensively dirty floors with previous guests’ short curly hairs scattered about, many broken fixtures and furniture (including exposed electrical wiring), and inaccurate or deceptive written and photo descriptions of their facilities. Attempts to contact this business with these issues were met with minimal and inadequate responses — for example, the business came to clean our facility’s floors but neglected to clean the kitchen floor and also did not remove the mold. Also the business advertised a jacuzzi on premises but after we could not recoup our money, they said the jacuzzi was not heated.

a person called Gary Kahler Haward, contacted and showed interest in purchasing my time share membership.

the membership was canceled 10 years ago, but he still insisted that could get me $180k for it.

he claimed his office and company located in KS, but a simple domain lookup showed they are in MADRID Spain.

Time share scam

I was contacted and told that a prominent business man in Mexico (Carlos Hank Gonzales, represented by Alejandro Martin Calvillo) wanted to purchase Palace Premier VIP Club memberships. I was offered $1,200,000 for about 600 weeks. A lot went on; my attorney even spoke with their "legal department," and thought their explanations made sense. They needed $5250 wired to expedite the registration for me in order for the taxes, which were being paid by the buyer, to be tracked. I finally sent that. The money was to be wired to me; lots of legal contracts, copies of "bank statements" from Banorte bank showing that the money was being held in a trust account. I can give much more detail. When the money didn't come through, they said that Quinta Roo and other Mexican states have started imposing their own tax when timeshares or in this case, club membership weeks, are sold. They wanted me to wire $24,000. At that point, I hired an attorney who has an office in Texas and also Mexico, and who is of Mexican origin himself. He did research and determined it was a scam. David James, the "realtor," gave me his real estate broker number; it exists. I callled the office he was associated with from the web, and they assured me he would not be dealing with timeshares. The LLC is incorporated; does not have complaints filed against it, yet, when I researched it, although it lists a Fifth Ave address in the filings. It's a very slick operation. I even tried to contact Gonzales, who is the CEO I believe of Banorte, and he didn't respond.

What was the outcome of your situation? Were you able to recover the $5,250? And how were you able to dissolve the deal?

They have lied about what they could actually give to us...We made a 50th anniversary trip to Mexico and were really almost brainwashed by their kindness and promises. My husband is 77 and I am 76. We are trusting and trustworthy people. They said we would own 4 weeks and get $2500 per week guaranteed by Allianz when we turned in the weeks for them to re rent. And they lied. We do not own anything. They also told us we needed to own for a year to avoid capital gains and then they could resell it for our original investment plus 15%.

WE want other people to not be hoodwinked by these scammers. It all looks and sounds WONDERFUL but we have found from someone who knows that they are outright lying... Vallarta Gardens is also called a Boutique Residence Club. The people who serve there are attentive and wonderful and we want them protected too. They are being used to impress us. The marketing company is Allianz Marketing Strategies and they are unreachable at any of their contact numbers or emails and their website looks so Impressive. Put the word out there to save people please. This makes us feel very stupid. Thank you so very much.

We attended a sales presentation and was told that My Member Price was going to save us $1,000s if dollars on big ticket items and travel. None of which turns out to be true. I was in need of a set of tires and a new furnace and was told that those items would almost pay for the membership. I did purchase the tires and saved about $125, but could never get a price on my furnace. Guy kept saying I'll get you a price tomorrow several times. Tomorrow never came. Recently I tried to purchase a range/oven, but was unable to use my credits that were in my account. I had asked them for a full refund before this and was given a $750 credit instead of a refund. We were also told that when you booked airfare you would receive a $25 credit per person. Now I find out that there is a $250 limit on this earnings. I also tried to book a cruise and the only savings was using my $750 credit. In the sales pitch the claimed savings of 30%-50% savings. We were also told that if we used their timeshare/hotel booking service that we would only pay for the cleaning service. Not true, they wanted more for a weeks timeshare that what I could buy it for on my own.

This company is a complete fraud/scam

Womble & Crow and Tommy ******* the owner and broker are 100% Fraud and Scam!!! They promise you no money to be payed upfront for your timeshare and then they constantly harass you for money to pay for taxes upfront. All bank statements are forged as confirmed by the bank in Mexico they send you a statement from as I went to. There is no buyer!!! I had put in $30214.00 and they keep harassing for more money for another $35000 they claim for tax and will be reimbursed. They will not reimburse my $30214.00 after comfirmation of Fraud and forged bank statements and ask for more money instead. Even after written affidavits claiming they will reimburse the money.
