Residence Club La Jolla took $8,950 in cash and promised to sell our timeshare for $36,612. They never Delivered but kept our Cash over a year agoe.
Today, La Jolla still owes us $1,950 having paid $7,000 in $500 increments, they just have not paid the balance.
Can any one trust them? IT IS BEST TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM

Timeshares are never a good purchase, and timeshare owners need to be cautious about this. There are lots of timeshare scams. I recommend you to visit timesharescam.com/blog/, there is good information about timeshare issues.

I went to a timeshare presentation at LaJolla Nuevo Mazatlan. An agent named Alfredo Marcq made the presentation to me and at the end I told him that I was not interested in purchasing a timeshare because I own a condo at Pueblo Bonito. He, then, said that his company was not licensed to rent their units out, they could only sell timeshares, so they were looking at units that they could rent to "pre-qualified" people from the states.
He said that his company had done research and found that they only sold timeshares to about 15% of the people off the street and to about 40% to people who were invited to come and stay "Free of Charge" for 3-4 days. One of their requirements was that those coming had to attend their presentation. He went on to say that he knew my condo and the manager, and that he thought Premier Vacations would agree to rent my unit for $2,000 per week. They would actually agree to pay more during the Winter months.
He went and asked the Premier staff and they agreed that they could rent it and would agree to send me a check for $20,000 within 60 days. Alfredo said that he would be responsible for the coming and going of the pre-qualified families. I told him that I would be willing to rent it out, Alfredo then went on to say that in order for them to Lease my property, I would have to buy one of their timeshares. I agreed to do it on the basis on his agreement that I would receive a check for $20,000 within 60 days. Now, I find myself out of the $15,000.

The La Jolla timeshare resort is run by dishonest individuals. We bought in and returned the next day for a refund because we realized we were scammed. We had to fight to get in. We were lied to again when we were assured that we should check out VIP vacations. Give it a chance and then they would promise to refund all our money. No questions asked. The manager shook our hands. Gave us his promise and word. He said we could trust in the situation. We believed again. So stupid. I guess we really wanted to see the best in the situation. We checked out VIP. It was all fake. So we asked for our money back. We were told yes and then we waited and waited. After a dozen calls....still no money. And nothing to show for what we invested. A total scam. They got us once, but never again.
