KEEPING YOU POSTED
Your Scambusters team wants to ensure you’re being
provided the most up-to-date information on the
latest scams targeting timeshare owners. We will
continue to support consumer protection legislation
and to inform you of scam that may affect you.
Proceed with EXTREME CAUTION
RENTAL SCAMS
The latest scam we’ve heard about targets those wanting to rent their timeshare.
Defrauding Travelers:
• Some companies are creating websites aimed at taking up-front money from travelers booking
vacations with the promise of a reservation at a timeshare resort. Unfortunately, the promised
reservation does not exist. A renter shows up at the resort, but there is no unit reserved or available.
• These companies keep the up-front money, don’t arrange alternative lodging for the renter, and do
not answer emails or phone calls.
Defrauding Timeshare Owners:
• Other timeshare rental companies have promised quick rental of your timeshare with the promise of
a high return.
• The companies offer too-good-to-be-true deals in the hopes of getting their hands on your
timeshare, your money, or both.
If you decide to rent from or with a third party timeshare company, please ensure you are dealing with
a reputable business. You don’t want to get mixed up in someone else’s fraudulent scheme.

JUSTICE PREVAILS
For several years, Wyndham
Vacation Ownership and

with the FBI in their criminal
investigation of one of the
largest scam companies in
the industry — the Vacation

Group). We’re pleased
to share that one of the
company’s principals, Adam
Lacerda, was sentenced to
27 years in prison for his role
in a $3 million conspiracy to
scam timeshare owners. His
wife, Ashley Lacerda, and
two other individuals were
also convicted. Thirteen other

OWNER TESTIMONIAL
WorldMark Estes Park
ESTES PARK, COLORADO
We grew up with John Denver music, so I always wondered about the
meaning of his famous song, “Rocky Mountain High.” We finally made
it to Worldmark Estes Park in the fall of 2012, and learned the answer.
The Rocky Mountain National Park reaches an elevation of over
12,000 feet, and visiting it gives you a sense of well-being and awe
that you never forget!
Before we even passed through the gate on our first visit to the
park, we encountered an entire herd of elk grazing just yards from
the side of the road, oblivious to the people watching them in quiet
wonder. Inside the park, we were greeted by quaking yellow aspen
alongside the roads, waving at us in their golden splendor, as if to
say “Welcome!” We had never seen a marmot before, and we were
delighted to see one at the summit playing peek-a-boo with us behind
the tundra. We were feeling that “Rocky Mountain High,” and it was
only our first day there!
As the sun was starting to set in the park, the elk were gathering
in large herds in the open fields, with the males bugling loudly as
they vied for affections of the ladies in the herd. We gazed on them
until our stomachs rumbled, and then returned to the resort. After
barbecuing against the backdrop of the snow-capped Rockies, we
relaxed in the hot tub under the starry sky planning our next day’s
adventure.

WorldMark Kihei
KIHEI, MAUI, HAWAI‘I
Hawai‘i has been on my list of must-see
places since I was young. I remember
how peaceful and happy my parents
were when they returned from their
trip with pictures full of beauty and
culture. Finally, in October of last year,
my husband and I ventured out on our
dream vacation to Maui!
We stayed at WorldMark Kihei in a
one-bedroom unit. The resort is in a
great location, within walking distance
of the beautiful clear blue beach.
The friendly staff greeted us and
recommended a great restaurant nearby,
Café O’Lei. The resort is also near other
Winter 2015
great food including the Kihei Café,
which we couldn’t get enough of.
We couldn’t have asked for better
weather for our six-hour snorkeling
excursion to Molokini Crater. The water
was transparent blue and you could
clearly see schools of vibrantly-colored
fish under the water. On the way back to
shore, a family of dolphins caught a ride
next to our boat!
Along with the memorable beauty came
some unforgettable excitement. As we
were packing for our flight, I noticed a
hurricane was moving near Hawai‘i at
that very moment! I thought to myself,
“I’m sure it will miss us …” To our surprise,
we received a notice on our door from
WorldMark letting us know which
precautions to take and what to expect.
I really appreciated the communication
from the resort. Luckily, Hurricane Ana
diverted the island. We couldn’t have
asked for a better experience overall.
