I understand your frustration, you are a disgruntled victim of fraud and If it makes you feel better to vent in this forum, then do so freely, but the facts don't change. The only way to substantiate your claim is the following: 1.- Original or certified copy of the belaire/hotel U contract. (If notarized outside Mexico, it has to have an "Apostille", which is an additional certification. If you are unsure, you can ask an attorney or consult with the Mexican Consulate what "Apostille" or "legalization" means). 2.- Original or certified copy of Bank card statement, (only the one that shows the belaire purchase) or credit card receipt, or wire transfer or any document that proves that money changed hands. Also with "apostille or legalization" if certified copy. 3.- All Documents must be translated into spanish, the official language in Mexico. (Just like any foreign language document filed in a U.S. court would have to be translated into english). 4.- Letter of adherence to class action and ID. You do not have to come to Mexico, but It is much easier to get this done in Mexico because you don't need the additional apostille process, which has proven to be difficult to accomplish for some people, and you can have the documents translated by a certified translator in Mexico too. If you can get that done correctly, then you can do it from abroad, but like I said, it is much simpler to do it here, just as most plaintiffs have done. This is a public matter so you can also go directly to the Federal Courts in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, case number 320/2013 in the First District Court in Civil Matters in the State of Jalisco and file your individual claim yourself. You will still need to file the aforementioned documents with your claim, but if it makes you feel better, nobody else needs to be involved. There is a numerous group of plaintiffs already on board, so whether you want to participate or not is entirely up to you. Complaining on an online forum is very easy, however, we have been the only people who actually did anything about this case and invested significant time, money, and efforts to put the class action together. The end result is that this is your best chance of getting anything back, even if it is just a tax deduction for the amount lost, or whatever may come out of this. I also remind you that we did not take your money, it was actually a scam perpetrated by U.S. Citizens who posed as legitimate investors in a Tourist Development in Mexico.
