1. GRAND MIRAMAR: Hundreds of people get
scammed in Puerto Vallarta
In Puerto Vallarta, the American Mark Talon knew the market as well
as himself, where he moved like a fish in the ocean, he opened and
closed businesses at the same time he was associated with those
who were immersed in the timeshare industry. No one was
suspicious about him, but his personality betrayed him: he was very
ostentatious; he drove a big hummer and liked to wear expensive
jewelry. But his luck came to an end a few months ago, when agents
of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) arrested him to
response to some illegal drug trade acts occurred in the American
Union. The US government has been very hermetic about Mark
Talon, and didn’t report notice about his arrest.
In recent journalistic investigations, it was revealed that Mark Talon
was associated with Michael Diaz, who is son of the CPA Miguel
Diaz, and suddenly came back to Puerto Vallarta from Tijuana with
lots of money in his pockets, enough to put several businesses in
operation. Therefore, Michael Diaz has been in the spot light of the
Mexican authorities.
Grand Miramar - The Company
Mark Talon and Michael Diaz opened a sales company called
“Corporativo Integral” (Integral Corporate), and through this company
they sold almost all the timeshare properties at the resort “Grand
Miramar” but in this process hundreds of American customers got
defrauded. They told them that with their purchase they would acquire
a timeshare membership with which they would enter to a rent

2. system, and in a few months they would get their investment back
plus a profit.
In fact, the buyers were bamboozled with that rent system, they were
told it was an intelligent investment to buy a timeshare at Grand
Miramar, and this way the scammers kept asking for upfront
payments and took thousands of dollars out of the victim’s credit
cards, that money was transfer through the Bank of America.
Grand Miramar - The Hook
To hook the people – the Integral Corporate sellers – offered them a
financial plan with a low interest rate, but when the buyers came back
to the US, they noticed that their bank accounts were almost empty. It
was an authentic swindle, said other scam victims by Grand
Miramar like Steven, who was ripped off with 40 thousand dollars
when buying 3 timeshares, and which promised rent profits never were
delivered, even when he had to pay the VAT (IVA) in Mexico.
The costumers were also told that their timeshares were part of a high
range rent system, that is to say, other vacacionists would pay big
amounts of money and that money would be refund to the timeshare
owners. Other clients decided not to keep paying and received many
threatening phone calls, and when they came back to cancel the
contract, no one was able to solve their issue.
Gran Miramar - The Victims
Katherine Walsh, another victim, left her testimony in a website where
hundreds of complaints againstGran Miramar were posted. “I’ve paid
43,900 USD in total to the timeshare resort Grand Miramar. They
compromised to sell my timeshare at Playa del Sol Grand for 44,710
USD, but nothing happened. I tried to obtain a fax number and send
the cancelled contract, but I got nothing”
One more victim, Mark T. Wilgus, told his bad experience in Puerto
Vallarta with Grand Miramar. He said that on August 12th
, 2010; he
made a 5 hours tour in the resort. He was offered a 4 weeks a year
membership. He bought a property for 24,810 USD, and he was told
that he would get his money back in a short period, but the days went
by and he didn’t get anything.

3. In this fraud, the reputation of the Bank of America was damaged,
since they were the ones that should’ve known that Grand
Miramar was inducing the clients to buy a timeshare –through high
pressure sales tactics- with the use of credit cards to finance the
membership payment. The ones who got lucky were those who
attended the timeshare presentation without buying, but they left the
place very angry and upset, since the salespeople were very
aggressive to them.
