Report

Same as previous complaints - trying to purchase our Vidanta timeshare contract.

Additional information:

- The Mexican phone number and Linkedin profile didn’t match to show Vidanta

- They didn’t have the correct Vidanta contract number. If Carlos works for Vidanta Corporate, he should have been able to find our correct contract numbers.

- Carlos didn’t know that Vidanta had a Mayan Palace location at the Puerto Vallarta Marina

- Vidanta always accepts payment by credit card

- The Santander bank statement was prepared by the same person as the J and B contract, according to the Properties of the PDF.

- Vidanta Member Services confirmed that this is a scam.

Hola,

Hope that all is well.

I just received this email from a Carlos Marin. He claims to work for Vidanta Corporate.

It looks like a scam to me.

Can you please confirm if it is a scam, or a legitimate email from Vidanta Corporate.

Gracias

Hi Carlos

Why does your phone number show up on the internet as “Puerto Vallarta Tours”, and your Linkedin profile shows up as “Puerto Aventuras” – and not Vidanta?

Contacted via phone by someone named Jimmy Flores who already knew a lot of information about a Vidanta time share that my mother purchased and purportedly is working on behalf of the resort to repurchase it for their business. He emailed a purchase Letter of Intent for $63,570. Their business website is confusing, and appears to be for a collections agency in Mexico, but also providing brokerage and title and closing services for REITs and other real estate related transactions. Oddly it also references a physical address in Denver with additional phone numbers. Contact Us text from the website is copied below.

I received phone calls and emails from John Robertson regarding selling several of my Hard Rock timeshare weeks. He indicated he was a closing attorney acting on behalf of Fund Rise, the company that originally contacted me about purchasing my time share weeks. All conversations are documented via email. I was informed that I need to pay the balance on my time share in order to proceed with a sale at $98k. I paid the funds to pay off the time share. There was a man posing as a representative for Hard Rock who received the funds. I found out that the money I sent was never used to pay off the time share balance and that this was a scam. It became a red flag when I was asked to pay Mexican taxes upfront before they could proceed with the sale. I refused, cancelled the sale and asked for my money back. I was told a manager would get back to me and no one ever did, which confirmed it was a scam.

I received a phone call from the named business . A man named John Robertson he said he was representing his client who wanted to purchase my time share in Cancun Mexico. The client is Valentin A. Ponce who is a rep for the buyer. The offered me 43,650.00 for a timeshare I paid 16,000.00 for. Then a rep from Tafer Resorts contacted

me saying i would have to pay a commission to her for handling the sale and transfer of ownership. 2500.00 that would be paid after i received the money for the sale. Prior to paying the commission there would be a administrative transfer fee of 3950.00 I would have to pay out of pocket before I got paid for the sale. The tafer reps name is Liliana Avila her email is [email protected] she was in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. They sent me all the necessary paperwork to complete the sale. I contacted Tafer Resorts on my own to verify all this information her name was Marina Mendez in Cancun. She informed me that there was no such transaction in the works

to sell my membership to anyone and furthermore my membership could not be sold because I have a balance on the mortgage. I cannot sell it until I own it outright meaning mortgage must be paid in full. That it was a scam. So i spoke to John and Liliana and told them they were fake and I am not doing business with them unless they purchase the timeshare by paying me first then I would pay off mortgage and then give them there bogus fees and commission well they said we can't do it that way. I said you are a scam and ended all communication with them.
