Found this on another website, that might be of some help to you.
"Originally Posted by DeniseM @ tugbbs.com: If they are asking you for an upfront fee - RUN, don't walk away from this deal!
Here are some warnings signs with these kinds of companies:
1) Do they say that they already have a renter/buyer for your timeshare (or an established market like people attending conventions)? 2) Are they offering to rent/sell it for far more than the market value? 3) Do they want you to pay a large up front fee? 4) Are they refusing to send you a contract until you pay their fee?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then this is the usual scenario: Once you pay the fee and receive the contract, you discover that the company has only promised to advertise your resort, not to rent/sell it, and they don't mention the renter/buyer in the contract.
Then you won't hear anything from them for a long time and when you contact them, they will tell you that the renter/buyer backed out and they no longer have a renter/buyer, but they will advertise your timeshare on their over-priced website.
Finally, when you try to get your money back, they will point out that you signed a contract, and it's only for advertising. When you challenge it with your credit card company, they will tell you the same thing."
Good luck!
