Re: Has anyone ever sold their timeshare to Despegar.com travel agency? (by Don P.):
First ask yourself why you would to put up any money when you are selling the timeshare . It's the buyer that needs to put the money in escrow. The no upfront money is a lie . They work hard on their scam but if you simply use common sense you can avoid all of them.
First: If it sounds too good to be true then it is.
Second: If they claim that there is no upfront fee then why are they asking you to send money.
Third: If they contacted you ask yourself how they got your information .
Like Lance stated you were smart to ask questions but unfortunately there must be enough people out there that don't and that's how they make their money.
