Regarding the person who wanted others to join him in a lawsuit against Banamex / Bancomer to recover money lost to Bayside Management and their scam:

I'm afraid Banamex / Bancomer probably are not involved in the scam. I think Bayside only used their letterhead. Give me 5 minutes with their letterhead and a good photo editor and I too can create a document which looks like it came from Banamex. It is not hard to do.

My wife and I were also approached by Bayside Managment, David Bishop, etc. When they asked us wire the money for the "taxes" the fine-tuned B.S. detector located on the front of my face woke me up and I started checking on these guys and their scam. I contacted the local Banamex bank - an American side of the Banamex Corp located in Anaheim, Ca, they asked me to forward any information I had to them and they would forward it on to Banamex in Mexico City. I faxed copies of all of the emails to and from Bayside, including the document which had the Banamex letterhead.

My wife and I searched the 'net using the search phrase "Bayside + timeshare + scam + tax" and found that there were many warnings out there from other people who were taken by Bayside. We are adding our voices to the others and also putting warnings out there.

I emailed David Bishop at Bayside and told him that I was onto his scam. The response from Bayside was that I could believe what I wanted, but that I had to complete my side of the "contract" - i.e. wire the supposed tax money to their cohorts in Mexico - or the "Buyer" could sue me. I told them to go ahead. Haven't heard a word from them since.

We filed a complaint against Bayside with the Better Business Bureau in San Francisco. They report that they have not had any luck getting Bayside to respond to their attempts to contact them and that the 333 Golden Gate Ave address is invalid. As of this morning there were 11 complaints filed with the BBB against Bayside.

The BBB suggested that we file a report also with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, which we did.

Good luck to the guy trying to recover his lost money. I wish him the best - but I don't think Banamex really was involved.
