You could be one of those "scumbags" working for another company just trying to slander the competitor for all we know. I've given you all the tools you need to contact customers who have had their properties sold through our company, YOU chose not to use them. No matter how hard you try to be the hero of the day here, We continue to match BUYERS and SELLERS. Nothing you have to say is going to change that.And as far as the "what's our incentive" after we have their money question, our incentive is word of mouth advertising and a good reputation. It doesnt take a degree in business to figure that one out, as everybody knows word of mouth is the best/most inexpensive type of advertising you can get.
Everytime you post, you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper in that big black denial hole.
Do your homework and read ALL the negative testimonials in this thread and ALL other threads concerning upfront fee resale companies .... you can do a forum search .... and just see for yourself how many people have been scammed by companies like yours, and you're right concerning the concept of WORD OF MOUTH (forums) that's getting the word out about scam companies like yours and all upfront fee resale companies.
Go to www.tug2.net and see what they have to say about upfront fee resale parasites.
And there's one thing I'm sure of concerning the laws of the universe and that's "what goes around comes around". You or someone close to you will be scammed one day by a person or a company like yours. No misdeed goes unnoticed.
You should sit at my office for one day and listen to the people who have paid upfront fee companies such as IBD, Timeshares Only, Timeshare Adventures etc and have been lied to just to collect the almighty dollar. A lot of these people are older people who trust people and give them their last dollar in hopes of selling a Vistana unit for $22,000. We send these people a list of places they can advertise for free or under $50.00. Usually we can not help them in the resale but we are available for them if they have questions. There are so many Broker websites that have scam sections and this type of forum that someday maybe the public will be informed enough that the people who are not internet active will hear word of mouth that you don't have to pay upfront fees to sell your timeshare. And you don't have to pay a company $3000-$7000 to take it off your hands. The resorts should be making their Owners aware of these rip off companies. The rule is if you have to pay ahaed of time to sell your timeshare for ANY reason you should hang up on the person, you should throw away their mailer or if you are in person you should tell them exactly what they are.
