These cold calls are always a SCAM. Do not continue to communicate with them, or you will be ID's as an easy mark and get lots more calls from scammers. Block them on your phone and emails.

Tafer doesn't rent out anything but developer weeks and definitely doesn't need your week. Here's a link from Tafer below outlining some of the fraud they know about. Tafer claims they don't give out their members phone numbers but for some reason many members report getting calls from Tafer and Tafer says it isn't them,lol.

Fake Partners

Studies have proven that we are more likely to trust someone when they are connected to a group, agency, or organization. It makes the entire transaction feel more professional. Nevertheless beware, as scammers have been known to claim to be part of our resort, partners of the resort, or to even work for the Mexican government! Remember, that We WILL NOT call you to buy, rent, or sell your vacation club membership! If someone calls you claiming to work for TAFER, The Villa Group, Resorts, or UVCI, make sure you ask questions and if in doubt, hang up and call us back. And never ever send money until you have done your due diligence.
