Re: TimeShare by Owners (by David D.):

If you were cold-called it's almost certainly a scam - I mean, how would they know you wanted to sell it?

They told you they could get you as much as $20,000 for your week? There isn't a timeshare in the world where you could expect to get $20K on a resale. If people are advertising at 10 per cent of that figure and getting no reponse to their advertisements years later, how do these guys expect to be able to get you so much? They can't - especially not in the current financial "crisis".

If they are asking hundreds of dollars "up front" - regardless of their excuses/reasons - you can be sure that, if you pay it, you'll never hear from them again. Why should they do anything whatsoever to sell your timeshare if they've already got your cash?

Reputable resalers take their commission from the proceeds of the sale.

Thousands of people have been conned out of their money by organisations like this, who change their names as often as I change my clothes. Don't become another victim.
