Re: Re: Vallarta Gardens Timeshare Scam (by Patsy S):

We had exactly the same results as you but we're a little further along the Scam process than you. Here are the next set of emails you will probably receive.

After waiting the 24-72 BANKING hours, we contacted Allianz Marketing Strategies and they sent: "The transaction failed. We’re wiring the money back to you today. The IMAD for this transaction is 20221027 XXXXXX. It will reflect in a period of 24 to 72 banking hours." Note: this is an incomplete IMAD number. It is missing the Source Identifier. Also, there are 5 Banking hours (9am-2pm) in a business day. So 72 Banking hours is about 15 business days.,

We then waited 72 more BANKING hours with no payment made, contacted them, and received the following:

"The Mexican tax offices have notified us that they require a tax payment of 35% for your proceeds obtained in Mexico due to a duplicate disbursement of profits on a single transaction. According to our financial advisors, we can get this tax requirement waived according to the USMCA agreement and shall not take over 30 days. Remember that AMS is dealing with a situation created by a third party. We apologize for this inconvenience. Be informed that we are doing the corresponding work on this tax issue to solve it as soon as possible. We will keep you updated on any notification coming from the tax office."

30 days have passed and Allianz Marketing Strategies does not respond to my emails now.
