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?

They also use the name of True Vacancy and they are based out of Orlando. I have started a blog about it at <a href="http://CancunvacancyScam.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Cancunvacancy Scam</a> and I am hoping to also get the word out to unsuspecting consumers.

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. it can be good and both bad.
