The fact is you listened to the idea, had a chance to consider it, probably looked at the company info first, paid for the service, signed for it, and now you regret it so you're looking for someone to pin your frustrations on. You're frustrated that your resort won't help you, a realtor won't touch it and you can't sell it. You paid for someone to advertise something that's hard to sell and because they aren't bringing you the offers you want, you say you were scammed. No lawyer will say you have a case but good luck. Bottom line--Buyer's remorseI am so glad I found this. Omega has been hounding us for a month trying to get us to sign up. THe money up front has just felt wrong to me from the get go. These posts finally convinced me NOT to do it. Can someone tell the the best way to sell? Redweek? ETC?> We just need to do so ASAP. Thanks. Paula in Fla
Well Gary, I was told that Omega would sell my timeshare for $13,000. They also stated that they would have it sold in about 3 months. If this is the same scam your company uses to get the peoples money, just stay where you are, your clients will get around to you eventually.
I just Googled Omega Marketing Timeshares and came to these posts, which confirmed my suspsicions, which were based on: 1)they said they were responding to an email that I did not remember sending, but they said it had been some time ago, back in March. 2) The salesman claimed he had a e-scan of an international affidavit I signed when I bought the time share, but I had no copy in my paperwork, which I have all together. 3) The salesman claimed he could not copy, print, fax, or email me a copy of this document. 4) He wanted money up front, via my credit card # and was asking me for $1600 to do the title search, transfer, legal documents up front before actually selling the property. 5) He claimed he could sell it for over $4000 than I paid for it 3 yrs ago. 6) He used the typical sales technique (carrot on stick that will disappear within 24 hrs- you must act now) pressure that he had a buyer that he was going to speak with tonight, but that he had to get my paperwork/credit card # before this evening. 7) When I asked that he fax me the agreement that I would be signing so I could review it first without my credit card # on it, he could not do so, but could only offer sending me information, which he did. 8) When I asked if he understood why I would be hesitant to give out my credit card # before I reviewed an agreement, he assured me that my credit card protects me against fraud. 9 If something sounds too good to be true, it more often than not is too good to be true. 10) If the pressure to act /pay now is stronger than encouragement to investigate & review the business transaction, most likely a scam is involved. 11) If this business is legit, they need to act more legit.
