Re: Omega Marketing Solutions any one had dealings with them? (by Eric B.):
The only pattern I am seeing here is the fact that ALL people that got ripped off here really should have done some actual research before spending a dime on the lousy company. Instead they just trusted a persistent salesman's word. To all the people who spent money with this company did you...
1. Check the companies BBB report? 2. Did you go online acting like a buyer and use search engines to see if you can find this company? 3. Did you review the contract before you listed with the company? 4. Did you read independent reviews on like alexa.com?
I have a feeling if they did any of that research they wouldn't have spent a dime!
I will agree posting on cheap/free sites doesn't hurt, but that doesn't mean they are the most effective way to sell your timeshare.

He paid them $700+ (or twice that amount since he owned 2 weeks) for them to list his timeshares for rent.Again, never ever pay any company an upfront fee to sell or rent your timeshare. 99 out of 100 are outright scams.
Anyone can list their timeshare for sale or rent on Redweek and many other internet listing sites and have a much better chance of renting or selling than any upfront fee company.
The most popular internet sites such as Redweek, Ebay, Bidshares and others get a lot of exposure, and the good thing about internet listing sites is that you can edit your ad as many times as you wish to bring down the price or add details. I sold 9 timeshares via these internet sites, but I was realistic in my pricing. It's very easy to construct an ad, especially on Redweek.

They have not called me ONCE since I paid them the up front fee of 500.00!!!I wish I could alert EVERYONE to read all the negative feedback in regard to this CO. 500.00 and up for services that they apparently never intend to give!!! The REPRESENTATIVE who was supposedly handling my sale called me every day up untill I paid the fee, and then it was as though someone OR some CO.turned the lights off and closed up the shop!!!!! A 500.00 lesson has been well learned!!!!! aliceb47
