Re: Need Advice. Anyone dealt with The Villa Trader? They called me and said a buyer wants my timeshare. (by Rosemary W.):
Sounds too good to be true! Have you checked what others are selling their timeshares for on this and other websites? Anyone can set up a nice looking website.
One scam I've heard of is that the "buyer" sends you a check for more than your agreed price and asks you to write them a check for the difference. Their check bounces and they've got your money! It happens even with supposed cashiers' checks.
If you do decide to proceed, perhaps you should ask for the escrow to be conducted through a closing company of YOUR choice. (and then wait to see if the buyer is still interested..........)
