Don't feel foolish. The scammers spend countless time and energy honing their skills to get your money. They prey upon the vulnerability of people who are desperate to get out of their financial obligations. Just remember how many intelligent victims were scammed by Bernie Madoff . Those people lost millions and I consider them to be intelligent. Learn from your experience and don't make the same mistake again. You will probably be contacted by more scammers down the road claiming they can recover the money you lost to the first scammer. It's just another scam to get more money. Two basic rules are #1... if it sounds too good to be true then it is " too good to be true ". #2.... NEVER pay anyone money upfront to rent or sell your timeshare. Use only licensed people and check their credentials. If they don't have an actual office and use a drop box run like hell. With the internet at your disposal you can verify the infromation they give you. Use google to search for the actual building they claim to have an office and google their company and research them thoroughly.
