How Rosa Elena Alvarado Owner of Los Tucanes ripped me off royally "Rosa La Fraudista"

Please don't get me wrong. I adore Mexico, and don't regret a thing. But there's a learning curve when you do business for the first time in your adult life,

 

(REMEMBER? I WAS JUST A NURSE BEFORE)

You know, the loving new age hippie kind who lived in Hawaii and did triathalons

And tested guys and addicts for SIDA

And put in a million IUD's so women didn't have to get pregnant. Etc etc. etc.

 

But when I decided instead to be in business

and bring capitol to a third world country

Thanks, guys for the capitol, sorry you're gone forever...And Mom, thanks forever for taking us to Mexico starting 1962...

where people are poor,you are subject to what my maid has to remind me of almost daily:

 

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!!!

It happened to me lots of time, and I don't usually mind, since the money goes to good use: somebody's survival.

 

HOWEVER!!!!
When it GOT OUT OF HAND

Then I got "molestado"

In Mexico the crime is called "abuso de confianza."

(confidence game, a form of fraud)

 

I have two great stories over my years in Z. where a fascinating, highly intelligent woman capitalized -- excuse the double entendre -- HEAVILY on our friendship. One involves even "LOVE IN A MEXICAN JAIL" a screenplay that was of course never sold. My affection for this lady and her children is so deep that I only think back to those years with musement and amusement. The document, Love in a Mexican Jail, will someday be published on this site

The second lady I make no bones about, seeing as how I am in litigation with her.

The lady's name in question is ROSA ELENA ALVARADO, BUNGALOWS TUCANES

 

Rosa on Left at my condo at Villas San Sebastian

 

I met Rosa Elena Alvarado of Casa Tucanes while trying to build my business.

She had two humble units on La Ropa.

 

I helped her rent them for a year...and then

She obtained a loan from me

in order not to have her property foreclosed on by FIBASE

I paid for my lawyer

to call the governor to get her 25k interest payment forgiven

I then bought her a car! Which she still drives

 

Then took her family on their FIRST EVER vacation, to Valle de Bravo,

 

and helped set her up in the internet business. I referred to her innumerable clients. She built three new units at Casa Tucanes with my money...

She never paid back a penny.

She continued to buy another adjacent lot, and THEN BUILD A POOL,

 

and never paid me back a penny.

 

She stole my properties off the internet without permission from me or the property owners. Who knew what she told potential clients about said properties, since no one ever got a booking from Rosa Elena Alvarado of Casa Tucanes?

SHE NEVER EVEN REFFERRED TO ME A CLIENT!
