Re: Omega Marketing Solutions any one had dealings with them? (by Pamela C.):
I currently have my Whistler timeshare listed with Vacation Register (I did have to pay a small upfront fee). Today I got a call on my cell phone from a man named "Chris" (was hoping it was an offer to buy my timeshare). He was talking so fast that I couldn't get a handle on what the call was about other than it was a company called Omega "Mortgage" and it was about my timeshare. He then transferred me to another man named "Chris Brooks". Chris told me that the company was Omega Timeshares and it was one of only two companies that were legally allowed to resell my timeshare. He said that when I bought my timeshare back in 2002 I signed an agreement to that effect (it was in the small print according to him) and that I also signed an agreement that when I listed it I had to pay $2,499. I asked him for a copy of that and he said that it was encripted and he couldn't fax it to me or mail it to me, but that I had the paperwork and it was there. He wanted me to pay the $2,499 right now but I refused and said I would go through my paperwork and get back to him tomorrow. I called Whiski Jack and they had never heard of Omega and said that I didn't have to pay any money up front in order to sell my timeshare and I could list it through anyone I wanted. Omega was pretty convincing to me and I'm glad I held my ground and wouldn't give them that money. What a scam, that's scary!!!!
