Vacation Club International

[rpennisi]

Has anybody heard of or dealt with Vacation Club International?

Some recent buyers of Mayan Palace that I met in Mexico have received an offer of $32200 minus 8% commission for giving them 10 MP weeks after they pay 10 X $900 to Vidanta for MFs.

Vacation Club International claims they sell weeks on Expedia, where I found there were no Vidanta weeks offered.

To me, and I have advised them so, this sounds like another TS scam.

AGREE - likely a scam .

So - was the guy making the offer a former salesperson at Vallarta Gardens ? ( see TUG thread started in 2014 )
Where did these folks hear of this "offer " ?

We all know Vidanta controls their weeks and if they get low on inventory they just build another building .
So if xxx / Expedia needs "product " why not deal directly with the developer .

This sounds like a "mirror image " scam of buy more weeks and rent them .

I would invest my $9K elsewhere.

I don't know where they got the offer from. However, interesting that you should mention Vallarta Gardens, because they were going to do a presentation there, and I warned them about their notorious reputation.

Got an email from the folks I was mentioning above, and they had it confirmed to them by Vida that the Vacation Club International rental proposal was a scam. No big surprise there.
