Don't know these particular entities, but if you're trying to sell your timeshare and these people ask for a huge upfront fee (hundreds of dollars) to list it, then they're a scam. These are called upfront fee resale scammers.
Another clue is if they tell you that they can get far above and beyond what your timeshare is worth in this down economy when many people are giving their timeshares away or selling them for pennies on the dollar .... some timeshares can't even be given away.
Or, they might be a postcard company that tells you they'll rid you of your timeshare ownership for $3000+, however many of the postcard companies don't bother to change ownership and you still remain the owner with owner obligations such as rising yearly maintenance fees.
In the timeshare world, if it sounds to good to be true then 99.9 percent of the time it is.
