Vallarta Gardens Scam
We traveled to Puerto Vallarta in late March 2015 and unfortunately also got involved with Vallarta Gardens. It appears the way their whole scam works is to suck you into signing a contract with them by having offering a contract with a marketing contract to bring to help offset your costs. Unfortunately the companies they use do not exist. In our case they told us the company they would be using was Berkshire Financial Group. We looked into this "company" and found out that the address given was a vacant lot, no information on CEO or the company itself showed up on a google search even though company was supposedly around since 2011, Oklahoma Secretary of State had no record of them, a search on their website domain showed the site went live on Jan. 27, 2015 which happens to be the timeframe when sales manager said they started using Berkshire. The search also showed that whoever started site went to extremes to hide where site was set up and operated from. It appears this May have been a front company started by Vallarta Gardens themselves. We tried to sign onto the website in early May and it was shut down and all phone numbers were disconnected. No surprise there!!! We looked into companies they have used in the past and found they don't exist either. My advice to anyone looking into Vallarta Gardens would be to run away as fast as you can. It would be nice if we could all get together for a class action suit against them. These people, especially sales manager Jeff Johnson should be in jail. We are in dispute process with our credit card company and are contacting Profeco and the US consulate. Does anyone know how to file a criminal complaint on them in Mexico?
