Timeshare Scams and Fraud

In 2009, my wife and I went to our first vacation since we had emigrated to US ten years before. This vacation was in Cancun, Mexico. Everything would have been perfect, but we were harshly lied by Royal Holiday salespersons. Abusing the fact that English is our second language they tide us into a 30 years contract instead of promising 5 years. Being close to retirement age and having a low paying job, we were paying for a two years. In 2012, my wife died of cancer. Since then I did not go to any vacation and try to cancel my account many time without any luck.

I even called a Royal Holiday headquarter and they offer to help resell our contract. They referred us to the Global Resort Services. I paid $599 for a service and after two years of exchanging calls this company disappea... Read More

My husband and I vacationed in Cancun in June, 2014. We were talked into going to a "presentation" with the Sunset Corporation. We ended up purchasing a Timeshare after a pressure sales presentation. (not sure how that happened....) That night I read over the contract and realized we had made a mistake. We called our rep and met with him the next morning to cancel and he told us we had waived our right to the 5 day cancellation period .

After the trip I began searching online and found Mexican Timeshare Solutions. I was very skeptical at first but they didn't require any payment upfront so decided we had nothing ... Read More

I received in inquiry on my timeshare which was listed on SellMyTimeshare.com The contact was Eileen Hayes who told me that she could not speak to me because she was hearing impaired.

She asked that I accept a $500 deposit as a "good faith deposit" and that she would also send me the fees to be sent to her agent who would handle the title transaction.

When she sent the check, I deposited it in my bank and waited a couple of days to make sure that the check cleared. I got a message yesterday from my bank saying that the check was fraudulent and not to send any funds on to anyone.

During our stay at the Occidental in Cozumel, we were constantly heckled by staff all over the resort about coming to the Occidental Club for breakfast but if we did to make sure we came back to them and not talk to anybody else. We ignored them the first day. That night our stay was horrible due to the AC not working in our room. The next morning we got up to rent a jeep for the day and used one of the people that stand around trying to get us to the occidental club. He said he had the best deal. We paid for this and realized the jeep we rented was horrible and really not in the best to feel safe to drive. There was a hole in the passenger side where the heat from engine came through. Being upset at the situations the first day. We spoke to management. They sent us to someone th... Read More
