Grand Weeks VIP / Essential Resorts Scam

I was scammed in Cabo at Cabo Viejo. I bought a Grand Weeks VIP vacation package for several thousand dollars and received NOTHING in return. I am having the charges on my credit card reversed.
Also they asked me to us Essential resorts ltd to buy my timeshare. I keep finding posts that it is a scam also. Does anyone know about them?

The Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) has downgraded Grand Weeks/Servicios Vacacionales to a C rating, Essential Resorts to an F, and Financial Services Int’l. to an F. It’s progress. Grand Weeks should get an F too, so please report your experience to the BBB.

I have been looking into Grand weeks VIP for my parents. I can’t find anything positive about them on them. Everything I find is negative. I hope others are not ripped off like my folks were.

We bought into Grand Weeks. Paid into them over $7,000.00., and have like all others received NOTHING…….having trouble getting charges reversed on our charge card. Any helpful hints with this would be greatly appreciated. I also paid for a return trip to Cabo San Lucas for 1,000.10…..and unable to retrieve. The individual that we dealt with over the phone and emails is Raul Mendez……this in one word is PATHETIC…..how many more of us out there.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY. Finally after 9 months we just got our 7,000.00 back from the scammed GRAND WEEKS. It was a long process but if you paid by credit card. DON’T GIVE UP. Keep all correspondence and keep contacting them. I have a file that is quite thick. At times it seemed hopeless……..lesson learned….IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS…………
