Vacationing in Mexico can be a great experience, but this experience can become terrible if you are not aware of the timeshare scams that are being committed in this beautiful country. Timeshare scams in Mexico are the order of the day, every year, according to PROFECO(Mexico’s Consumer Protection Agency); there are thousands of cases of people who were cheated by fraudulent timeshare salespeople.
Vacationers are approached everywhere to be invited to a free breakfast, which is actually an invitation to attend a timeshare sales presentation. Timeshare presentations can be long-lasting and very high-pressure. During the sales pitch, people who already own a holiday ownership are told that in case they don’t want their old timeshare anymore, they could easily rent it or sell it, to support this affirmation, most resorts work together with some timeshare resale companies, andPlatinum Resort Services is one of them.

Complaints about the company
Most timeshare resale companies ask for an upfront fee to sell your timeshare, and Platinum Resort Services is not an exception. They charge an initial fee of $900 USD, but they do not guarantee that your timeshare will be sold.
Some Platinum Resort Services consumers have reported that the company does not respect the terms of the established contract, and that they do not receive the payments promised, or such payments are delayed.
Being that their old timeshare was never sold, most timeshare owners who have used the services of this company end up owning two shared properties, which means they have to pay more timeshare maintenance fees.

Tips to avoid being scammed:
- It is very important that you know your timeshare cancellation rights before purchasing a timeshare in Mexico.
- We highly recommend that if you don’t have the intention to buy a timeshare, do not attend timeshare presentations, since they can be very high pressure.
- Never pay an upfront fee in an effort to get rid of your timeshare.
- During the presentation, asks as many questions as possible.
- Do not provide your credit card information.
