Description

Same as previous complaints - trying to purchase our Vidanta timeshare contract. Additional information: - The Mexican phone number and Linkedin profile didn’t match to show Vidanta - They didn’t have the correct Vidanta contract number. If Carlos works for Vidanta Corporate, he should have been able to find our correct contract numbers. - Carlos didn’t know that Vidanta had a Mayan Palace location at the Puerto Vallarta Marina - Vidanta always accepts payment by credit card - The Santander bank statement was prepared by the same person as the J and B contract, according to the Properties of the PDF. - Vidanta Member Services confirmed that this is a scam. See email exchanges below: From: @vidavacations.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 1, 2023 4:30 PM Subject: Re: ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT It is a scam. Please don't send any information. I will forward these letters to our corporate team. ________________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, November 1, 2023 12:34:33 PM Subject: FW: ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT Hola, Hope that all is well. I just received this email from a Carlos Marin. He claims to work for Vidanta Corporate. It looks like a scam to me.
