This is an alert on the dvc site

That alert--or a similar one--has been posted for a couple of years now.

DVC ownership records are public. Many companies "mine" the real estate records to obtain demographic information on owners. It's not uncommon to receive mailers or phone calls from (seemingly) unscrupulous resale agents, other timeshares wanting to sell you ownership and fraudulent stuff similar to what is described on the website.

Good thing to stay on guard.
