Mexican Time Share Took Hundreds Of Millions, Says Class

LOS ANGELES (CN) - A federal class action complaint accuses El Grupo Mayan Palace of bilking U.S. citizens of "hundreds of millions of dollars" in Mayan Resorts timeshares, using "high-pressure fraudulent sales tactics that are comparable to the worst tactics ever employed by used car salesmen in a Hollywood movie."

The complaint states that the "defendants earn hundreds of millions each year from such sales by systematically misrepresenting in sales presentations and documents the value of the timeshares they are selling. Defendants as part of their scheme also have misled Plaintiffs as to their rights under Mexican law."

Plaintiffs are represented by Boies Schiller & Flexner of Oakland.

Here are the defendants: Desarollo Marina Vallarta SA de CV, El Grupo Mayan Palace, Daniel Chavez Moran, Daniel Omar Chavez, Scott Erikson, Casey Jon Owens, Canamere Inc., Huffsmith-Kohrville Inc., Preferred Vacations Inc., Premium Travel Services Inc., Resort Solutions Inc., Seven Oceans US Inc., AZM Marketing LLC, Resort Quality Controls Inc., Resort Condominiums International LLC, and Resorts International Marketing Corp.
