Vida Vacations & Grand Mayan lies (by Barbara D.):

How fortinate for you! We were "seduced" because they assured us that they would buy two timeshares we had for many years that the annual maintenance fees exceeded their worth. We added up five years' worth of these timeshare fees and decided to "invest $11,494. but emphasized that we DID NOT want an ownership at Grand Mayan! We were advised by their "legal" department that the time we were "purchasing" would be used by Grand Mayan for rental; thus, that would be how they could purchase our two timeshares. We signed a contract and no sooner were back home when we received an invoice for maintenance and paperwork to pay a different company $750. to sell our two timeshares. However, if this Equity sales company were unable to sell our timeshares, they would be returned to us. We went to the Mexican Embassy here in Denver; they referred us to the Mexican Embassy in El Paso, Texas. We hired a Mexican law firm who were also a scam so we never paid them. Our "case" was turned over to the Attorney General of Mexico and we have written several times to no avail - not even the courtesy of a reply. Perhaps the Mexican government is in on these scams of American senior citizens that are attempting to scale down???? Our next step will be to contact the US Attorney General and inquire if there is any possible way of retrieving our money. Taking advantage of people in their 80's who are trying to put their lives in order by telling them lies upon lies is probably tantamount to poisoning them towards our neighboring country, Mexico!!!! We are seeking advice as to whether we can tell our story to every major travel agency in the world as well as all travel magazines, travel sections of major newspapers, travel guide books, twitter, facebook, etc. - spread the word about this SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
