Ads being "RedWeek verified" simply means that the owner has paid an additional fee for RedWeek to independently confirm details of the ownership, week, unit, etc. Anyone placing an ad on RedWeek has first paid for a membership by a (traceable) method and has then also paid to place an ad. Scammers don't want to be identified or traced, so they much prefer anonymous (and free) venues like Craigslist instead. Even if an advertised week is not "RedWeek verified", you can always ask the advertiser for some information with which you can independently call the resort and verify the provided details for yourself. A resort will never actually [b]offer or provide[/b] any owner information to any inquiring non-owner (privacy laws and protection), but most (not all) resorts will at least [b]confirm[/b] information that you have already obtained on your own [b]before[/b] calling the resort for independent verification of details which have [b]already[/b] been provided to you directly by the owner. All things considered, I personally think that RedWeek is one of the best and safest venues available anywhere for being on [b]either[/b] side of a timeshare rental. The RedWeek site has consistently served me well in that regard for some years now. I greatly appreciate not having to deal with spammers and scammers and other parasites of ill intent, as I have absolutely no tolerance for such people.
