"The Villa Trader" is a timeshare related scam company and not affiliated in any way with Villa Trader - http://villatrader.com (by Dynn G.):
We have a timeshare in Mexico on a point based system that can be transferred to RCI points as well. I received a phone call from a company known as The Villa Trader ( I looked up the website www.thevillatrader.com ).
The lady already knew that I hadn't used my timeshare and she said she had a buyer who wanted it if I was willing to sell it. She knew all the information on the timeshare, location, usage, how many points... I asked her where she got the information and she simply said it was in the system (I'm going to call her tomorrow and dig more on how she got my info). I told her how much I would sell it for and she said her buyer would be willing to pay that price.
She said I did not have to pay for anything, that the buyer would pay for the fees. I asked how the transaction would be made, and she said it would be done online on their website.
If this is a trick or scam, what am I missing? I'm trying to find out how they might scam me but don't know. It seems legit and I would like to sell for the price we discussed. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
