Yes. We hear of it constantly on timeshare forums like these. As JJ said, they are all scams. The real sad part is when people come on these boards asking about such operations after they have paid the scam artists.

For one thing, you do not own RCI Getaway/Bonus weeks. They are not yours to rent out. RCI Getaway/Bonus weeks are available to RCI members if they want an extra week to use for themselves (at a healthy cost, of course).

Secondly, never ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare. Even if you own a week to rent out, and agent that acts as a third party will take his commission out of the rental proceeds, you don't pay upfront.
