Hey Folks, I just got news that they finally caught Antonio Copela and Jonathan J. Tomasello, http://miradainformativa.com/2013/1...ses-detenidos-por-cometer-un-presunto-fraude/, there is a lot of people that got wrapped up in there scam, sadly just like I did, A bunch of people and such as myself are organizing to take a collective action against them, we´re going to a law firm in Puerto Vallarta, called Connell & Associates http://www.mexicolaw.com.mx/es, they are all English spoken so there´s no problem in not knowing Spanish. So the more people we have the better, if you want to join get in contact with them and they’ll put you in the group. We are finally going to get justice done.

Apparently, Antonio Copela is out on bail and is at Puta Vista Signature Residences.........meeting with Belaire Members to shift them to the Signature Timeshare...maybe in hopes of clearing rights to the Belaire poroperty so it could be sold???? http://puntavistasignature.com/

Hi Daniela, We also were taken buy Belaire. Is it possible to still join your group at the law firm or have completed the action against the scammers? What were you quoted for fees from the law firm? Has anyone been contacted by Signature Club Premier with an offer to buy back Belaire membership?

Sorry to revive this ancient thread, but I couldn't find this news posted. John Aurelio Cuda, AKA Antonio Copella, is serving in US federal prison to the completion of the sentence from which he escaped before heading to PV with his brother and launching this magnificent scam. I would presume he will be remanded back to Mexican authorities when his sentence is completed in 2017.

Sorry to all of you who got scammed for considerable money.

Thanks for posting this information. It's good to know that the bad guys have been caught and punished. Hope they find the missing brother.

In PV at the Marina a few weeks ago. DW and I always make note of the steel frame skeleton that was supposed to be Bel-Air. I always smile when I think of how much it must have pained them to actually lay out money to get carry the scam at least that far.

Riding on the bus I remember commenting to some people who got on board near Velas Vallarta, near the Bel-Air. I commented about the Bel-Air scam, and it turned they had been victimized for about $500k, and they had recently received the "Hotel U" conversion offer, which would have required them to pony up a significant amount of additional money. And they were actually considering it.

I asked them how they knew that they weren't being scammed again, and they couldn't answer. Playing on their anger, I posed to them the thought that didn't it make perfect sense for scammers like the Copellas to concoct another scheme such as the Hotel U story to hit up their victims again? And it was like a light bulb went on in their heads.

Thanks for your post, Steve. I surely hope those folks you talked with on the bus didn't fall victim again to the scam.

I hope so too. We met one couple a few years ago who were also scammed and doubt that they got any money back. How awful!

I don't think they did. By the way, that conversation occurred about four or five years ago, not this last trip.

Belaire PV scam

Has anyone been contacted by Alberto Garcia from the Division Federal EAVE about getting your money back from the assets seized from the crooks?

 

[PamF]

Yes, my mother was contacted. Believe he is just another scammer. Talks about having to pay taxes on this piece of nothing. There is discussion on this in the forum redweek

With apologies to Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop:

This is the scam that doesn't end. It just goes on and on, my friend. Some people started the fraud, knowing that they could. And they'll continue scamming folks forever just because this is the scam that doesn't end. It just goes on and on my friend .....
