For future reference... (by KC):
The above constitute some unfortunate experiences and I certainly feel badly for those who were swindled. Experiences like these may very well have have had something to do with the following development:
Effective March 19, 2009 Wyndham has adopted a new policy, effectively PROHIBITING the transfer of Wyndham Points.
Since that date, ANY entity (whether known or unknown) cold calling "out the blue", seeking to acquire Wyndham points from a Wyndham owner is now, by definition, engaging in a fraudulent practice, since the transfer of Wyndham points is now flat out prohibited --- period. This won't help those folks already swindled, but it will seemingly make it impossible for it to happen again in the future to others.
It seems Wyndham points owners will now have to either use their points themselves, "pool" them in the Wyndham system BEFORE the "use year" even begins, or use their points to reserve week(s) to rent out their reserved week(s) to someone else --- directly, with no "middleman" involvement, acquiring a mandatory, hard copy "guest certificate" directly from Wyndham, identifying the guest in writing, in advance and thereby verifying the validity of any non-owner who shows up to use any owner--made reservation(s). The "transfer" of Wyndham points is simply no longer an option or a possibility.
