The United States is imposing sanctions on individuals involved in timeshare fraud schemes linked to Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), a notorious cartel in Mexico. The sanctions focus on CJNG leaders and an affiliate using a corporate network in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. CJNG operates call centers with English-speaking staff posing as brokers or officials to trick victims into paying advance fees. According to FBI data, Americans lost nearly $300 million to these fraud schemes from 2019 to 2023.
