Types of Mexico timeshare frauds – Part I

There have been lots of Scammers that have been taking advantage of helpless travellers looking forward to have a good time in exotic locations. The most common one of these is Mexico timeshare fraud, which has been making headlines for quite sometime now, all because of the wrong reasons of course. I would now be talking about the most common types of frauds in a series of blog posts to illustrate just what all kinds of timeshare frauds in Mexico are experienced by travellers.

The first in the series is a fraud which has been the most popular one, or the most recurring one, if you may say so. The most common attack weapon of such fraudsters is the telephone. They acquire databases by unscrupulous methods and then call all the numbers searching for potential victims who will fall for their trap. These agents will call you and offer exciting timeshare (fraud) offers in Mexico, and will claim that the same is only for a limited period, which is why you need to book with them in advance, probably today or during the week itself. And make no mistake; this fee is often in the tune of several hundreds of dollars. And when after due consideration you finally decide to give in to the offer and give them your money, when it comes to redeeming the offer, 99 times out of 100 you would not be able to connect to the travel agency’s number, simply because it does not exist! And in the 1% event that you are able to contact someone from the agency, he will continue to give foolish excuses that the rooms aren’t available or that the scheme has expired, and will eventually run away with your money.
