Re: International Premier Resale (by Don P.):
Let's address the issue. There are more scams coming our of Mexico dealing with timeshares then anywhere else. Most timeshares have little or no value so if someone is promising you a large price for your property it is a scam. They lure you by baiting you with a large selling price. Once thay have you isolated they send official looking paperwork.
Then comes the scam. They claim that there is a " fee " that has to be paid before they can complete the sale. If you are dumb enough to send tham any money they then come up with yet another " fee " that has to be paid. They coninue to come up with " fees " if you keep giving them more money. Once you finally figure out that you've been scammed they disappear along with hard earned money.
It gets better. They put you on their " sucker list " and sell your name to other scammers. Somewhere down the road you will be contacted by someone claiming that they can get the money you lost to the scammers back. Guess what .... they claim that you must first pay a " fee " to get your money back. It's the scammers again.
If anyone believes Amye145 and wants to give this company a chance you have been warned . The first time they ask for a " fee " run as fast as you can. If they are a legitimate company they will take their " fee " out of the proceeds of the sale. Just remember the two basic rules of timeshare fraud.
#1 If it sounds too good to be true then it's " too good to be true ".
#2 NEVER pay anyone upfront money to sell or rent your timeshare.
Use those two rules and you will never get scammed. And remember not to sign any paperwork without having an attorney read it first.
