Re: Has anyone purchased from Vallart Gardens? (by Virginia G.):

Hi, We bought last Sept and within 2wks of purchasing we got an email from Dan Sauer with a terrific offer – we could get the remaining balance on the property paid for by letting the BVI Management Company rent out our place. Wow, sounded great – all we had to do was pay $2400 to Samuel Diaz at UVC. Does anyone know this company? Universal Vacation Company Then we received an email from UVC that since our place didn’t exist until 2014, the deal couldn’t go through. Now Dan knew that the condo wasn’t build, why would he even refer us… lies, lies lies!!! Samuel said we could get our $2400 back but when we asked for it, tried to reach him through emails and phone calls, NADA, ZIP , Zilch!!!

However, Jason Wilkey assured us it was all legit but the Deputy Director of Legal Enforcement of the British Virgin Islands emailed me that BVI Financial was a fraud. At that point I stopped making the $800 payments to VG. All phone calls to VG have gone unanswered, all emails have gone unanswered.

I’ve alerted Chase Bank of the fraud but they’re hands are tied. The wire transfer is just a straight shot to another place. We own 3 timeshares in PV and have for 15 yrs. WE love them and they are all legit. WE were very stupid and got taken. So what can we do at this point???

By the way, my sister –in law also bought when we did --- she’s also stopped paying and also got screwed by Dan. I cannot believe that our salesman didn’t know what a scam this all was.

Here’s some email addresses in case anyone wants to bug these guys:
