Vida Sales Putting Rental Brokers On The Phone To Trick Us (by Deb H.):

We're back.....sorry to bother you all with our sad story but we won't let Vida do what they did and just say ....too bad, so sad.

The bottom-line here is we kept saying no. Then they put us on the phone with a Rental Broker from a list they provide who proceeds to tell us he has tons people waiting to rent the type of unit they we're trying to sell us (how convenient) .....the broker literally begged us to buy so we could list weeks with them. He also guaranteed to resell our other timeshare. We believed and trusted what we were hearing based on the magnitude of the project, we couldn't imagine whoever built it would allow such deception. We were wrong!

Yes we know we are way past the 5 days. That's the beauty of their scam....you don't realize until it too late. What's even better Ownership/Corporate Mgmt backs up the pitch.

I almost forgot, after a year of not renting any weeks or reselling our other timeshare the broker who we listed with had the nerve to call us and ask for more money....this really happened!! They said "oh...you don't have our premium plan if you really want it taken care of give us another $150". We didn't find this broker on our own, as I said they were working hand-in-hand with Vida sales.

I am I the only one this has happened to? I doubt it!
