I received a call from a group, but I am unsure who they represent. They said that the timeshare is in violation of their bylaw by allowing rentals from those not part of the timeshare and that they can get your maintenance fee eliminated or returned to each timeshare owner. I assumed this was just a scam. So I am passing on this on as an alert

Not that is really matters as it sounds like a scam anyway but I read recently that the Mexican drug cartels have an organized operation that is scamming $M using a variety of methods related specifically to timeshares in Cancun/Cabo etc. This might just be one approach to 'hook' you.

This is definitely a scam.

Sadly many people don't research these scams before losing thousands or even over a million dollars.
