When you bought your timeshare at Villa del Palmar Cancun, the thought of reselling your timeshare was probably not on your mind. To be honest, for most timeshare members at Villa del Palmar Cancun, reselling is still far from their minds. However, the problem with timeshare resale scams is not so much that they target those looking to sell their timeshare (although owners looking to sell should also beware), it is that happy Villa del Palmar Cancun timeshare owners are targeted.
There have been many warnings recently about some disreputable timeshare resale companies contacting timeshare owners of some of the best timeshare brand, such as Villa del Palmar and offering them great prices to sell their timeshare. The way the scam works is that the resale company will say that they have a buyer interested in your timeshare unit willing to pay a high fee for it. Usually this offer is so good that, even happy timeshare owners may consider selling to make a great profit. The reality is that the buyer is most likely to be a fake and you will have to pay an introduction fee and a survey carried out by the resale company, all of which will cost you money. Nine times out of ten, the buyer pulls out at the last minute, leaving you out of pocket.
The easy way to avoid this type of resale scam is to beware any resale companies that contract you out of the blue, whether that be by telephone, email or traditional mail. If you have not solicited information, you can be sure there is some kind of scam involved. For those who are looking to sell their Villa del Palmar Cancun timeshare for a profit, the best avenue is to sell it privately or to work with an agent who charges commission rather than a joining fee.
The other danger related to resales at Villa del Palmar Cancun is when you are looking to buy a cheap timeshare resale.
