@Ty….The same exact thing happened to me!!! I also fell
for the sale, but even before I hung up I told them I wanted to
cancel the transaction. The manager “Josh Klein” refused to issue a
“refund” and told me that I had “buyers remorse”. I had been having
really bad feelings while on the phone with them…asking a lot of
questions….and I totally ignored my instincts. He was SO high
pressure and rude as well. I knew that no one who wants to sell you
anything treats their customers in this manner. I called my credit
card right away and they cancelled the card. They scammers had not
even tried to put the sale through yet. Their transaction did not
try to post for two days and of course it was declined!! I received
the call yesterday, a “courtesy” call from Josh before he turns me
over to collections! Did he think I would give out ANOTHER
number??? Anyways, I am waiting to see what happens.

I fell for this and when I got off the phone I had the worst feeling and then called my credit card company and told them to cancel the card because something was going to be charged that was fraudulent. This guy calls me tonight from the “processing dept.” named, “Justin”. Justin told me he was going to send me into collections since my card was canceled. I can’t believe people can do this. I was dumb enough to do this but glad I thought to cancel the card in time. I don’t see how they can send me to collections…I’m assuming that’s a scare tactic?

I am going through a similar situation right now with a company called Cancunvacancy. They also use the name of True Vacancy and they are based out of Orlando. I have started a blog about it at Cancunvacancy Scam and I am hoping to also get the word out to unsuspecting consumers.

it can be good and both bad. For $399pp you get to stay in a 4 or 5 star hotel with everything included. What they will ask is for vacation ownership. No harm done, if you’re not interested then the next one will be. Its not a bad deal for the price and for what you get while at the hotel. There are no charged upgrades and or hidden fees. If you want to save some money then go for it.

They now claim to be out of Mexico, but are still in Florida. They send misleading faxes from “Human Resources Dept.” Once you pay, they will never give you a refund and record you agreeing to pay using a “3rd Party” verification service. They now go under the name Choose Cancun. Avoid like the plague!

ChicagoScott, the letterwriter chose her hotel in October. She wasn’t going to Cancun in October.

Is anyone else aware that October is definitely NOT peak season in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico (which includes Cancun)? In fact it falls within hurricane season.

Ya know, there are alot of ways this could have been avoided, as J. Farrell indicates so well. Another tool available is looking up user reviews of the hotels available before selecting one. If 16 were available at time of initial booking, why did she wait so long to call back and actually pick one, then have no idea what she was getting? She could and should have looked up on websites like Trip Advisor. She would have seen alot of reviews and pictures of the hotels. I just checked and a recent guest at Maya Caribe put the title of his/her review as “It isn’t hell but should only be used as last resort!”. Another said “hell hole in Cancun”. While some reviews were not so bad, you get a good picture here. I think this whole thing is a huge lesson learned–no matter what the offer or how you hear of it, check everything out first. This is not the dark ages. There are alot of resources out there. Don’t read just one either. When the terms change, question them. And for goodness sake, get a confirmation number!
