To Mike and Daniel, If you want to check the rental situation out, talk to them Coco (or whatever they are now). They will tell you they have no connection with any rental group (although it was set up by good old Cindy on the spot) and that nothing has been rented out unless we set it up ourselves. Also, if you haven't paid the $599 per week or whatever you are stuck with per unit, it isn't even able to be rented. Obviously we weren't told that and it isn't in the contract. We have 4 - 2 bedroom units for 1 week. Do the math. Bye bye retirement $$. We feel like idiots. Jinger

To everyone,
Did any of you use your sign on cruise from HSI? I have checked all other programs and it does look like you save between $500 - $800 per couple. The best deal is the Canada/ N. US coastline in a smaller ship.
Did anyone use this????

I too was offered an unbelievable amount for 3 of our timeshares. Believing it was a scam, I offered to sell one of the timeshares, however, stated that I wanted to use my own lawyer for the sale and escrow. There has been no reply to this. The scam may involve being asked for taxes, closing costs, or some other cost related to the sale. Once you pay this, say goodbye to your money.

Trust me, you cannot sell your Crimeshares. We have decided to walk away from our unit. We will not get one cent for it but I am done with this scam (Crimeshare). What a total idiot to buy into this . We have filled out a "Voluntary Surrender of Membership form" and we are done! This is a clause in our purchase agreement, Good luck to you all!

Daniel,
The only thing we have thought about doing is going down again in a couple of years and paying the $599 to use a unit for one week. We did meet a couple of Americans living there who run a restaurant. We thought we might do a little investigating. I haven't paid anything to them in almost 2 years and no one is bugging me except. HSI.

I offered to sell one of my timeshare weeks after receiving letters of intent for 3 of them. I also said that I wanted to use my own escrow company in Canada. I received a reply saying that the timeshare I offered to sell was no longer accepted but they said that they would buy my Mayan resort timeshare. However, I was advised that the escrow company could not be a Canadian company and had to be a US company that did escrow with Mexico. I found a US Escrow company that I trust that was willing to do the escrow. I have now emailed Deep Sky with my offer to sell one week of my Grand Luxx using MY escrow company. I am waiting their reply.

my father has been dealing with Deep Sky and their people in both St. Louis and the escrow Co. in Denver. We had an agreement that no funds would be transferred to them until we received the check for the rental of our Grand Bliss. They convinced my 89 yr old father to send them the $7500. for the 3 yrs of maintence fees, then the $1900. for the commission. They now want $5900 to pay the taxes the mexican govt. is requiring. I hit the roof when my father told me he had sent them the money. He has contacted the BBB and Chamber of Commerce in both states and neither have anything good to say about the co. Now the police in the city outside of St. Louis are investigating. Don't send $$$

My 89 year old father sent them $7500 for the 3 yrs of maintenance fees, and $1900. for their commission. They now want $5900. for taxes the Mexican govt. supposedly is requiring to be paid before they release the funds.Don't send them any $$. My father even went by the address that they have on their letterhead for the Denver Escrow office and it doesn't exist. He has contacted the city govt. outside of St. Louis where the Co. is supposedly located and they smell something fishy. The case has been referred to the police dept. in that town. I will update when we have more information.

The deal from Deep Sky sounded too good to be true for two of our timeshares, one at the Mayan in Nayaret, and our other in Cabo with Bel Aire. I had signed a letter of intent, and an agreement for the Mayan property. The one issue that kept bothering me was that we would need to send transfer fee funds to the Mayan prior to having the sale amount deposited into our account. They were claiming that they would reimburse us for any transfer fees, etc.

Confirmed this is a scam. I was interested in how they did it so I followed up on their offer. I was offered a substantial amount for 1 week of the Grand Luxx. I was also told that there would be no money up front. However, in our Grand Luxx contract it states that the penalty for selling our timeshare would be 5 weeks of maintenance fees ($8,100+) The purchaser apparently paid this amount to the escrow company (Titanium) in trust and I was to pay this amount to the escrow and then be reimbursed ! |Watch out for Alan Torres of Deep Sky and James Campbell of Titanium. I told them this was ridiculous and that no real estate company collected money they already had. I said it was the responsibility of the escrow trust to pay all costs and pay the seller the balance. Mr. Torres then went into a cock and bull story about how this was not a real estate transaction but the selling of a membership and according to law operated differently. Mr. Torres is a very fast talker and would not give direct responses to questions.
