Velas Vallarta Unit Sales?

Aug 08, 2012

We were just contacted by Priorities Management. They indicate that they want to buy 50 timeshare units at Velas Vallarta in Puerro Vallarta. They say that they will pay me $29,700 for our unit. The first step is that they will deposit half the sale price in an escrow account under my name and pay the balance to us on October 15th. Too good to be true? What we would have to do is put about $3,000 in the escrow account in order to move forward...They claim that the only was we can lose this money is if we pull out of the deal...Is this another scam where they run off with the escrow money?

Don't even think of going along with this scam. There's no timeshare on earth that an entity would pay $29,700 for when many people are giving their timeshares away for free, especially Mexico timeshares .... this should have raised a BIG RED flag with you. All they want is that $3000 then you'll never hear from them again.

Mexican timeshare sales is the new Nigerian lottery scam. When your money goes south of the border it disappears forever and so do the scam artists. It's a SCAM plain and simple.

I am soooo glad I found this post. We were also contacted by Priorities Management regarding our unit at Velas Vallarta. Claimed they sent an initial notice in April/May and we never received that. They have emailed us and now they are mailing us the information, so I'm very curious to see what it says. They didn't say anything about how many units they wanted but called it an impending inventory acquisition. Thanks for the 'heads up' although it took a lot of searching to find anything about this.
