I have been scammed by Sierra Rentals and Sales or Sierra Club Rentals, a few different variations of the name have been used. I purchased a membership with them back in April/2008. This company was recommended to me by the resort where I purchased my fractional ownership - Velas Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. This is where my nightmare begins.

We too were accosted at the very entry way of the airport and totally scammed. All kinds of promises to rent weeks, never happened. Tried to sell and they keep it dragging on for months on end, and apparently now scammed us more for "taxes" that had to be paid to accommodate the "sale" and now phones ring busy continuously, e-mail returned undeliverable.

On May 4th, 2008, I purchased a timeshare from Velas Vallartas in Puerto Vallarta, MX for $10,900 which included 12 weeks. The representative, Chris Bailey, indicated that by using Sierra Rentals, I would be able to rent each week for $2240, which was a $26880 return on a $10,900 investment.

The scam starts the moment you walk through the door. The sales person will introduce them self to you and their name may be the last truthful thing you will hear from them.

Velas Vallarta - Timeshare Scam II

(This report was removed due settlement)

I fell for the 90 minute presentation and believed them when they gauranteed the sale of my time share weeks to offset the cost. The presentation lasted 5 hours and took away the relaxation and pleasure of the vacation.

We were accosted on the street by a young man who promised us two free tour packages for listening to a timeshare presentation for Velas Vallarta. "No pressure."

We went to the resort and were shown around by a very personable young woman, then the "big gun" came in. After sitting through his sales pitch and his price change initially from $45,000 down to $16,000 with many variations in what was offered. We consistently said,"NO" to each offer.
