well chances are you've been approached on vacation to attend a timeshare presentation but one California couple says the salespeople took it too far kcal 9s curtis mean tonight traveled to mexico investigating how far some resorts are going to get your signature taking in the beauty vacationing in puerto vallarta pete suzie high of auburn say they were offered 450 bucks to sit through a 90 minute timeshare presentation shuttled north of town to the luxurious porto bahia villas and spa that was the start of the nightmare that 90 minutes they say turned into eight excruciating out of rotate and relentless salespeople questioning them and they were persuasive and they kept pushing us and pushing us and we'd say no and they'd say something else why did you leave we were waiting to get what they promised us 450 bucks 5,000 pesos right then the couple says without asking a glass of red wine showed up for home and it's already cracked open can of beer for him how do you drink it I drink it why'd you drink it I was thirsty six hours at this point we're sitting there both say soon after sipping on those drinks they started feeling funny I felt sick and then and he just was like in a trance he's just sitting there like glassy just next thing they knew they were initialing page after page agreeing to open up credit cards for the nearly $22,000 down payment I cannot look at myself in the mirror anymore Rafael cachet sold time shares at Puerta Bahia I feel dirty and ashamed this is his home video the bottom sales room where they qualify people and pictures of sales meetings where he says they were instructed to tell customers anything to close the deal you do whatever it is you need to do to get the sale he didn't sell to Pete and Susie but says booze was rightly brought to the negotiation table without people asking here after four hours of not drinking not eating half a beer you're starting to feel bust he even recalls salespeople pretending to be buyers staging a signing as part of the fake celebration he says champagne was passed out to everybody in the room even non-drinkers they purposely use alcohol to get people to a point where they can't think straight anymore that tired exhausted can't think straight that's when you zero in like a vulture and take advantage of them it's the Wild West out there Brian Rogers runs a website that claims it provides the truth about timeshares people have posted similar stories online about other presentations in Mexico some even claiming they were drugged like this person who said the room spun a little and everything became vague and kind of numb or zombie life people have claimed that they you know felt lightheaded or about squeazy or felt otherwise intoxicated we hopped a plane to Mexico to investigate and learn Mexico has a consumer protection agency called pro feko how aggressive are these salespeople very aggressive Gabriela Cervantes with profe echo spends her days fielding timeshare complaints but claims she has never heard of people being given alcohol or getting drugged during negotiations does that surprise you yes you've never heard of that before no the morning after signing all of this paper Pete and Susie say they called their credit card company to cancel those cars they also came here to the profes where to buy Arta that's where they learned under Mexican law they had five days to cancel their contract the couple hand-delivered to Puerta Bahia this cancellation letter profes co-wrote for them in Spanish once they got home the dozens of collection calls started threatening legal action if they didn't pay pro fecals Gabriela admits she's heard quite a few complaints about Porto Bahia is the process for a cancer in my experience is not that easy with them so I took the 30-minute cambro I ignored the part of Ayrton up a hill to Puerto Bahia two workers escort me on a golf cart into the resort which is tucked in the jungle overlooking the Pacific do you normally serve alcohol during these presentations I know that I know sales person Elizabeth Rocha told me alcohol is only served once people sign up as a celebration do you ever try to get people drunk no they sign no no do you think these people are making this up hey Jesus I'm not an airhead I can no dance reproduce we showed her the cancellation letter delivered to them way back in 2013 why wouldn't that have happened by now it's been more than a year it's more than I don't know but reminding her of the cancellation law in Mexico I pressed her to fix it now that we brought this to your attention will you help these people absolutely yes you did more in two weeks and we were able to get done in 17 months relief the same feeling Rafael got leaving his job at Porta Bahia after just one month I feel dirty that I even participated and if I could go to all the different people that I sold timeshares I would love to apologize to them Pete and Susie say they will return to Puerto Vallarta but won't sit through another timeshare presentation although they did walk away with what initially got them to Puerta Bahia in the first place they did give you the 450 bucks was it worth it no Curtis Bing kcal 9 News
