I told him, why don't you go ahead and email me some things about you guys, all he wanted to talk about was the money. "how much can you come up with right now" "what can you afford'? "are you able to comp up with 3 to $400" i said to him that i didn't have the money right away that if he give me like 2 weeks from today, i might be able to, he got really mad and hang up the phone. with out asking me any information about my timeshare all he wanted was money.i am really happy i read all your reviews because as stupid as i can be sometimes, i would have fell for this.
thanks everyone for your reviewers, you saved someone today
SMTN is not actually a "scam", per se --- but they ARE completely worthless. Their gig is basically to charge money (upfront, of course) to place a useless "listing" that few people will ever see and fewer still will ever respond to. It's not "illegal" --- just useless. They don't actually "steal money and disappear" --- they have actually been around for quite a long time now and they certainly are not going away anytime soon. Nonetheless, they take upfront money and they provide absolutely nothing of any real use or value in return except for a worthless listing that no one will likely ever see. Not exactly a "scam" and not "illegal", but still a completely useless and worthless enterprise just the same.
