Complaint Review: (((NAME(S) REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / CYBERSTALKING / CYBERBULLYING / REVENGE POST))) - Puerto vallarta Nationwide

EDITOR’S COMMENT(1/25/2021):  Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, especially when consumers are truthfully warning other consumers about potential frauds, scams, rip-offs or the like by shady individuals or businesses.  Ripoff Report is by consumers, for consumers…and we want to keep it that way!  Unfortunately this Report was posted and, upon additional information, appears to have been primarily for the purpose of bullying or harassment.  In many instances Ripoff Report will reach out to the author of the Report to obtain further information.  In other instances, enough information is provided to Ripoff Report to warrant redactions without reaching out to the author.  Ripoff Report is working to combat tactics that are perceived to be cyberharassment, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and/or what is generally considered a “revenge post” as we do not condone such behavior. 

The Report was brought to our attention and, upon review of compiled information (which will be done on a case by case basis without any obligation as resources allow), and at Ripoff Report’s sole discretion, information that did not conform to current policies and/or the identifying information relating to the individual(s) and/or business(es) named in this “Report” and any subsequent comments thereto have been editorially redacted as indicated by the following “(((REDACTED)))” or (((REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / REVENGE POST)))”.

CONSUMERS:  Be kind.  Keep it honest.  Keep it fair.  Stick to the facts.  Do your research.  Keep the dirty laundry in the laundry hamper…not on Ripoff Report.

PLEASED TO SEE SUCH EFFORTS?  YOU CAN HELP RIPOFF REPORT COMBAT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES:  Ripoff Report, as resources allow, is working towards combatting Cyberharassment, Cyberstalking, Cyberbullying and/or other problems such as what is generically called “revenge posts” that can be riddled with personal commentary and/or allegations that can be serious.   Ripoff Report would love to be able to timely address each and every review request we receive, however, this takes resources.  If you think this is a worth-while endeavor, we encourage you to make a donation so that we can expand the resources that we can devote to this project.  You can make a non-tax deductible donation by clicking HERE NOW or learn a little more by visiting our “Donate to our Efforts” page.  The more resources we have, the more resources we can devote to this project and other forward thinking and positive initiatives like it.

Thank you!

NOW TO THE EDITORIALLY REDACTED POSTING(S):

My husband and I visited Nuevo Vallarta last summer in hopes of purchasing a new property, as we had both recently retired. We checked out a handful of places before landing at (((REDACTED))). Prior research suggested this development struggled with legal problems and poor administration, so we were hesitant upon arrival. Though we found the units to be reasonably priced, the development as a whole was ran down and suffered from maintenance issues, so we quickly decided to leave.

As we were exiting, we were approached by (((REDACTED)))  who introduced himself as the owner of the development and he addressed us to (((REDACTED))) of (((REDACTED))) in Puerto Vallarta, He desperately tried to convince us to make a purchase by significantly knocking down the price for the unit that we were interested and we agree.

We went back to his office and made a provisional contract, in which we agreed to deposit $ 50,000 USD with the agreement that he would send the formal Purchase Agreement back to our home in Denver. After three months of unanswered phone calls and broken promises via email, we still had not received any paperwork, and decided to fly back to (((REDACTED))).

When we finally found him, he was clearly intoxicated, and claimed that the price of our unit had been raised by $42,000 USD.  When we asked for our money back, he harshly threatened that if we did not pay the difference, something bad was going to happen to us.

Terrified and unsure of what to do, we hired (((REDACTED))) , a local lawyer who promotes himself as a defender of investors who have been abused by the system. We agreed to a $8,000 USD retainer with the promise that our money would be returned in full within a month.

However we were never able to communicate with both of them  via email or phone again, and as we started to receive increasingly threatening phone calls from , we had no choice but to give up. 

Avoid the services (((REDACTED)))  and his company (((REDACTED))) and (((REDACTED))) both of them are crooks and they will steal your money.
