GRAND MIRAMAR Timeshare Complaints

I just got contacted today by William Lopez from Royal Trip and Event Planners offering the same buyout deal with their 8% fee. I too tried Profecto but had no luck. Grand Miramar is such a scam and I am always hesitate when I get any calls about this company. I got screwed but have definitely learned from that.

I was scammed by that Richard Bounds in person, now he is in Cancun and under a new company, calling to offer to buy my timeshares what a shame of a human being, his new company is vacationpropertyshop.com VACATION PROPERTY SHOP, do not do business with them someone needs to stop him, I lost all my savings and still he wants more, please be very AWARE

Enough is enough. So we have also been through the whole Grand Miramar/ Legacy Centurion nightmare as well. Did the resale, paid the penalty for DMG not doing their job, invited for the buyback, had our money in an investment for 1 year and then called down to be paid out. We went so far as paying the taxes but after consulting an expert in tax law we were able to fight that loss as Legacy not fulfilling the service they offered and we did get that back from Credit Card within 45 days. Still a significant loss. They are very good at what they do. Inexcusable that this scam has been going on in it's various forms for so long. What I would give to get these guys held accountable......
Anyway here is the updated scoop . ROYAL EVENT PLANNERS IS A SCAM. Whatever they offer or promise don't be tempted. Questionable if they are even registered to do legitimate business. Very easy to set up a number and call forward it through to a nice office in Mexico. even easier to set up a web site that looks legitimate ( Legacy Centurion, need I say more) . Even though they say no fees until you are paid I know of 2 people now who have gone through their process , paid lawyers fees and then were told they needed to pay the 8% for these crooks upfront when their contract indicates the opposite. No one has posted any successful outcome with them. Not a penny paid out to anyone I communicate with. They will send a bank statement showing your money in trust and tossed in a couple other names and amounts to reassure you. The bank would never release that information in that fashion and certainly not other individual's information as well. Our lawyer said the whole thing is extremely suspect. In addition the real Mr, Edward Hughes, who actually is a Alabama realtor with NO Mexican accent , was very upset to hear someone is using his name and credentials and there is an investigation underway in Alabama. We actually had another individual first contact us and the next day his boss called to say he was let go because of drug use and Edward would be handling our inquiry. What business communicates something like that? Furthermore Mr. Mendoza is obviously involved as well. He is more then happy to negotiate his fees with you. Some people actually even secured an offer where he agreed to waive 1/2 his fees if you paid it upfront right then. In what world does any lawyer offer a discount on legitimate services? Just the Vultures swooping in to pick the bones clean and the last straw for me. I will be donating a significant amount of effort and my organizing and social expertise to this out of principle now.
LEGACY/GRAND MIRAMAR BUYBACK IS A SCAM. Don't give them any more money. If anyone runs into Richard please post his whereabouts. If you didn't know I have it from a reliable source that, surprise , surprise Vivienne is Richard's wife. Miranda Slater, Sonia Levi and Alberto are others we have had the misfortune of running into and all equally culpable. Same thing if you spot them let us all know where they are operating from. Rumour has it Richard may be in Cabo. As you all know by now Legacy has shut down and they are now called GILDED ROSE ROYAL. Pull them up. They didn't even bother re designing their web site. We have a group of about 30 so far from Canada and the US and will be looking to pursue this further and happy to add more people. An advertising campaign letting the locals know of the risk to their livelihood is in order and releasing a web site to further expose this and put more publicity on the scam and those involved is the next step.
There are some pretty frustrated people in our group united by a common cause. Time to get even more together. I think most of us, at this stage, would be equally satisfied with getting these people locked up vs getting our money back.. This may be a bit beyond what Mexican Timeshare Solutions can help us with but it is great they provide a forum such as these to advise others.

Richard Bounds should be drawn and quartered.....such a scammer....there was also a fellow by the name of Javier, who was a very nice guy but anyone associated with Richard should be considered unscrupulous.....we need to move forward with a class action suit and get our investment back....everyone stay in touch...

I have been contacted by Mr Mendoza through Royal Trips claiming if I pay
$12,000 he will resell my Grand Miramar Timeshare for $195,000. I am also to
pay 8% commission to Royal Trips after I receive my money. I told him I
would not front any money so he said the deals off. The id he sent is fake
and stolen. Don't give any money up front. Richard Bounds is behind this too

Do not do business with Royal Events and Planners. I found out that they are not registered to do broker time share transactions in Alabama and although there is a real person with a real brokers number authorized to do broker business in Alabama it is not the gentlemen from Royal! I talked to the real one! Authorities in Alabama have been notified. Beware they know all about the GM/LC/Diamond Management info background scam and personal details. Also contacted by the Mexican Lawyer, who may or may not be legit but they are connected with Royal, so ask lots of questions!!

I was contacted by Royal Trip and then by Mendoza they claim I have all my money in a trust in the Bancomr Bank in the marina at PV once I Pay $12000 in fess to the Mexican Government the money will be wired. I told Mendoza to deduct the tax and of course he said the money had to be paid first. Does the scam ever end

I got a contract from Royal trips and they want 8%up front I told them that I had 398.00 in my savings account and they where welcome to that and that they should go ask Richard and Vivien Lewis for the rest haven't heard from them since' People Beware' also I contacted the attorney general in Alabama and she never heard of this people. STAY SAFE AND KEEP YOUR MONEY

Do NOT engage with or do business Royal Trips and Event Planners; they are a scam. They will want a percentage of what they claim they will buy your "timeshare" for. They will want that money at "closing" before they send you any money. And trust me, they will never send you any money. There are no timeshares at Miramar, it's a scam that is allowed operate in the resort to make it look legit. Richard Bounds is running the criminal show.

Richard Bounds sold a big bunch of lies to us as well. We kept moving along with this guaranteed buyout and their lies about paying taxes and now all their emails are not working and we still don't have our money back after almost 2 years of crap. Its the same old story that I see in these other complaints. Richard is their number 1 scammer and we have all fell for it. Not much to be done as far as I can see.
