Vidanta Deals To good To Be True

[MoPops]

Ok. Thanks. I’m 99% sure I would have noticed that addendum if it was there. I think our first contract was 2008, and I don’t remember there any mention of them in that agreement. Oh well..
We just got home, beating a snow storm that’s coming in, and then falling temps into single digits for the week. Meanwhile my sunburn already is itching. We had a great week in RM.

FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD


Has anyone received an offer from Paradise Vacation Luxury Properties, Atlanta Georgia, to sell you Vidanta Timeshare? The person who called said her name was Leah Kirkwood, a licensed real estate agent. She told us that she had a buyer for our timeshare from a large software company in California. They were looking for a tax write off. The offer was for about 3 times what we paid for the unit. A so called trust account was set up with a Palmetto Finance and Trust in Charleston, West Virginia. I was supposed to pay off the balance due on the unit and wire funds to an account in Mexico. Upon checking with Vidanta's paperwork we received at the time of purchase, the recipients name and bank didn't match. So no deal. This whole thing ended up taking over a month.

You are correct - offers like this are from SCAMMERS .
They are regular new names posted on TUG / the story is always the same

They contacted you = SCAM .

Vidanta is a reputable timeshare developer (with a a hard sell sales reputation- like many) . Vidanta runs quality resorts and we enjoy our vacation time
at their properties in Mexico .

Vidanta has recently sent me , as a Mayan Palace owner: 2 emails and a regular mail warning letter about these type of scams .

FYI - once one scammer has your contact information - " they all do "
you will be contacted again - 100% guaranteed

This thread is about 3rd party scammers making offers to folks who have owned and used their Vidanta Membership. Those scammers goal is to have you make a payment to them for a tax or fee and steal your money .

** If you recently bought and are past the 5 day rescission period - you need to discuss your concerns with Vidanta Member Services .

There are examples in this forum of folks who came to a resolution using this process . Some continued their ownership / some may have walked away from a $$ deposit and been released from further obligation by VMS.

If you put payment on a credit card - contact the card company as well and explain your issue.
