The Perils of Selling Sunshine and Scams in Zapopan
Unravel the dark tale of Zapopan's vanished call center workers entangled in a timeshare scam controlled by the CJNG cartel. Discover a labyrinthine underworld that extends beyond drugs to everyday businesses.
In a sun-soaked corner of Zapopan, Jalisco, a story darker than a mezcal hangover has emerged. It's not your run-of-the-mill cartel tale, nope. This one is as twisted as a barbed wire margarita. A gang of eight call center workers disappeared, unraveling a scam so elaborate it would make a telenovela writer blush.
The stage? Call centers spread across Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit, Tijuana, and Cancun, with operators meticulously collecting debts from unsuspecting foreigners and peddling hotel timeshares. Think of them as the dark underbelly of the timeshare business, a perversion of the classic vacation escape. In reality, it was a deep, pulsating vein of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG), a gangster club notorious for their audacious criminal exploits.
