Found a condo rental for Grand Mayan Nuevo Vallarta on Kijijji.
The price was too good to be true, but we were told that the father:Robert King was sick and they had decided to rent the condo as they could not go this winter.
We sent him a wire transfer close to $6,000. He then send us an email asking for another wire transfer for the tax that he had orginally forgot to charge us.
as we started asking questions, about the reservation number and confirmation letter, all communication broke down. We tried calling and emailing on multiple occasions, and the number has been disconnected and no emails replies.
we have open a police report, which will be given to the RCMP in Ottawa.
He goes under multiple names:
Norm King or,
Norman King or,
Robert King or
Robert Anthony King
** please beware, this guy is a total fraud..** I only wish that i would have seen all these blogs on him and would have then never enaged with this con... ***

I just want to thank you for posting this report. I am currently dealing with a Norman Anthony King about a rental in Puerto Vallarta. He has a different phone number and email address, but basically the same story as you have shared. Except, I have not sent him any money. I am familiar with how timeshares work and there was just something off about a couple of things he said. So...I decided to 'google' him and see what was out there. I came across your report and a couple others. I am sorry that you had this horrid experience, but want to thank you for saving me and my family the heartache.
Did you ever get any resolution? Once again, my heart goes out to you, but thank you very much for the 'heads up".
