You are a knowledgeable buyer of timeshare interests.
So ask yourself:
"Why would anyone pay me more than the price from the developer for the same floor plan??"
Answer is simple: They wouldn't!!
PAY LESS for the same contract....BUY FROM GRUPO VIDANTA!
Participate in CLASS ACTION Suit? Government agency collecting data?
So let's all do our part to help stamp out the scams: Only You Can Write the Check....So Don't Write It!
Remember, these people do not feel they are doing anything wrong.
- Do not send money or pay for ANYTHING.
- Do not send any documents by FAX.
- Do send by certified return receipt requested to the caller's listed address as a test document. If the test parcel arrives and the recipient reads to you the information you requested in the certified letter, then at least you know the address is not fake.
- Perform your due diligence carefully.
- If it seems too good to be true, then stay away!
- If it is legitimate, then all costs of the sale are paid from verified proceeds in a verified escrow account that you open and control - AFTER the sale closes.
- ONLY YOU CAN WRITE THAT CHECK! IF NO ONE SENDS SCAMMERS ANY MONEY, THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!
We love our timeshare with Grupo Vidanta. It provides us with facilities we would not otherwise be able to access with regularity. What all members don't care for are calls from unkown sources who have contract information that is not public. We all must be willing to say "no thank you" to these faceless, callers from cyberspace.
Following are articles about scams Aimfair members and others have described. Feel free to send us updates as you see the need.
