I made a terrible mistake by allowing myself to be conned into purchasing membership in Mayan Palace. The saleman told us many things that turned out to be untrue. We should do something against those crooks.

Are you still within your rescission period? If so, then follow the rescission instructions you received with your package.

If not, try contacting the resort and threaten to publicly post all the rotten details about your purchasing experience if they don't agree to rescind. It's a long shot but some of these Mexican timeshare resorts want to save face.

If that doesn't work, then you are now the not-so-proud owner of a timeshare. Your best bet is to learn how to use it. Just watch out for the blood-sniffing sharks out there in the timeshare world scamming timeshare owners.

You'll probably start getting uninvited phone calls from these sharks promising that they can sell your timeshare for money beyond your wildest dreams or they can get you out of your timeshare or perhaps sue the timeshare resort and/or salesperson if you pay them some outrageous, upfront fee.

Don't fall for any of these scams.
