"If you are asked to sign a note that you are waiving the 5-day rescission (cancellation) period granted by Mexico (in case you change your mind about the purchase) that waiver is a fraud...."

Profeco brochure specific to timeshare purchase in Mexico: https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/montreal/images/pdf/documentacion/consumer.pdf

Here's a link to an English version of the Profeco site for consumers in general, not specific to timeshare sales, but might prove useful.

PROFECO INFORMATION:

SEE POST #262 IN THIS THREAD FOR UPDATED INFORMATION

The best protection of your rights and responsibilities on any contract is to take your time to completely read and fully understand all the provisions of the agreement. Do not rely on what a salesman tells you because only what is written in the contract will be enforceable. Don't be rushed or pressured to sign something you don't understand. If you feel you are being rushed or pressured to sign, that's a big clue to stop and walk away.

Added 4-24-15: Watch this tv report about a presentation in Puerto Vallarta:

TUG owner Brian Rogers is in this report, too.

The same Info for me The contract we signed was fraudulent contacted Profeco 0ne year later they closed my case with no concrete reason Also stating the company refuse arbitration which I am sure would have found Vidanta liable. Beware of Mexico and its affiliates Profeco is a Joke

I tried calling all of the numbers you’ve written with and without the country code and none of them went through. I’ve also used that email and it’s just sent back, mailer daemon it says. I hope you can help me to contact profeco. I’m already back to the United States and I can’t go back there. Supposed to go to their office yesterday before my flight but it’s a holiday.
Profeco is a joke GOOD LUCK
