Beware of scams involving cancelled timeshares

Recently, new scam methods have emerged targeting those who once owned timeshares. A recurring case involves a person who, after having properly cancelled their timeshare and not receiving any charges from the resort for a long period, begins receiving messages via WhatsApp with the false promise of earning money by selling their supposed shares in the resort. These scams use deceptive and fraudulent tactics to obtain money from victims.

The story of a scam

Imagine that you have already cancelled your timeshare a while ago and haven't heard from the resort for months, even years. Suddenly, you receive a message from an unknown number on WhatsApp. The message informs you that your membership, which you had already cancelled, is active and they are contacting you to offer to sell your shares, promising you great profits.

Faced with the prospect of unexpected money, many fall into the trap and start communicating with these scammers. The next step in the scam usually involves the request to sign contracts and pay certain "fees" necessary to complete the sale of the shares. However, after several payments and not receiving the promised profits, the victim starts to have doubts and decides to complain. It is then that the scammers stop answering calls and emails, disappearing with the money.

How to protect yourself from these scams It is crucial to stay alert and follow these tips to avoid falling for this type of fraud:

• Be wary of unexpected offers: If you have already cancelled your membership and have not had contact with the resort for a long time, it is unlikely that there is any residual value in your shares.

• Do not sign anything without verifying: Before signing any document or contract, verify the authenticity of the offer. Consult with a professional or a trusted entity.

• Do not make advance payments: Legitimate companies will not ask for initial payments for procedures or sales management.

• Block suspicious numbers: If you receive messages or calls from unknown numbers that seem suspicious, block them and do not respond.

• Consult with experts: If you have doubts or need to cancel a timeshare, seek help from professionals in the field.
