True Vacations and Timeshare Title Services (by KC):

Has anyone had dealings with either of these companies - looking for the good, bad and ugly. I'm very weary of starting the process, though so far documents look legitimate...Help, please!
If not, and you received this call from "out of the blue", then it is absolutely a scam. If this is the case, you will be soon be asked for some money for some fabricated, bogus purpose (title search, escrow, appraisal, or some other such nonsense --- which you would never be paying as the seller in the first place in a legitimate transaction). After you pay up on this bogus fee, the "buyer" (who never actually existed in the first place) will suddenly disappear, change his mind, die, be captured by Martians, or some such other lame story). You'll then never hear from the thieves again.
The first time you, as seller, are asked for ANY "upfront" money in the transaction, you'll immediately know it's a scam. You as a seller should not have to PAY out of your pocket to SELL what you own.
Be smart and be careful.
