Anyone have any dealings with Innovative Timeshare Resorts or Innovative Resorts International (by Jennie B.):
Thanks to feedback and postings from this site, we quickly took action with IRI and were able to get credit card charges canceled within a few days. While my husband was on the phone with IRI, I googled them, read the reviews and realized this was a scam. Within 30 minutes he called the credit card company and $2,889 had already been charged to our account. I immediately wrote letters requesting charges be reversed and sent certified mail to both Jericho and Melville NY addresses. Also sent a fax to IRI-provided phone number (in Florida). And we closed that credit card account. I don't know which of these actions got results, but something worked. All this took place within 24 hours of initial contact from IRI and that's probably what saved us. We did receive their so-called contract by FedEx, but obviously won't be signing away money on this scam. Never provide ANY credit card information to IRI; they will use it to charge your account without your knowing it! Thanks for the warnings and keep up the good work.
