Has anyone dealt with Resorts Nationwide Inc to rent their property

Why would you pay upfront fees for a company to do rental for you? Any legitimate company would do the rental, collect a fair commission for the work, then submit the remainder of the rental income to the owner.

Maybe because that's how they run their so called business!

Proof is in the pudding as far as I am concerned.

We don't live in a perfect world. That's what keep the lawyers in business.

To lindad1057 Contact the Flordia Agriculture & Consumers Services. They are handling the case, read the thread, a couple of people have got there money back.

Read the thread on Resorts Nationalwide to rent their property, contact Floridia Agriculture Consumer Services to file your situation and others have got there money back.

Ask any person that calls you saying that there is a high cost to sell your unit to take a 50% commission on the back end instead. You will find that nobody will accept this offer. They will say it is "illegal" or "they aren't allowed to structure the deal like that" - the truth is, they know it won't sell and they will never collect on the 50%. Don't pay up-front fees to resale companies.

They called me today. Everything I find says they are a scam company.

complain to your timeshare co. these scammers knew all my personal details and could only have got them from my timeshare co.

I think I will call them and ask some questions, then call DRI. I would not put it past Diamond Resorts International to sell me out to another scammer.

Another possibility is that they got it from someone at the exchange company like RCI. It might not be RCI as such but rather a renegade or ex-employee their selling timeshare owners' personal information on the side.

They contacted me today to rent my “extra vacations” with rci/vacation village at Parkway. Sounds to good to be true. Currently trying to find if they’re legit

Anyone who contacts you saying that he or that company can rent our your extra vacations with RCI is a scammer. You do not own any extra vacations to rent out. This is a popular scam that, sadly, many timeshare owners fall for.

RCI "Extra Vacations" are rentals of unclaimed weeks deposited for exchange. RCI members pay out of pocket for those EV's. Extra Vacations, once so acquired (and paid for) by an RCI member cannot be "sub-leased" by that RCI member to anyone else, per clearly stated RCI terms and conditions of membership.

Shorter response -- the "offer" is a scam. Period.

So it’s now August 2024 & it seems this company that called me today, promising I can rent out my RCI weeks for +/-$2000 a week after I only pay $400 a week for 3-6 weeks, is the same company all these reports are about. Only this scammer is called Nationwide Resorts & Travel and has a very legitimate-looking website: www.nationwidert.com The guy was so believable!! But I want so badly to scam this scammer! What do I do? Who do I call to catch this unsuspecting scammer before he takes advantage of one more innocent person (most likely it will be someone elderly!!)???

I think this co that called me today is the same scammer that called you. The name is just Nationwide Resorts & Travel! They seemed so legit, but I had a feeling it was a scam! I couldn’t put out $1200-2400 today even if I believed it was not a scam!!

My favorite part was when they told me I only put out the $1200 or $2400 ONCE! Then every year thereafter I don’t pay anything, yet they will rent my RCI weeks and I’ll make at least $2000 a week to help pay my maintenance fees!! Easy peasy!

Nope!! SCAMMERS!!!!

Yeah I got a call from such a company just today. Their name was different. It was owners accommodation Inc. 4 to 7 weeks, $400 per week, they won 2800 upfront. They were willing to give me two weeks free if I bought five. I wanted to believe it too. Thank you to this forum, for saving me two grand.

Can’t you just cancel or dispute the charges with your cc company if it’s not legit?

You can dispute it. It wouldn't hurt. But remember, the credit card company might side with the scammer if the scammer promised what was written in the contract it sent you as opposed to what the scammer might have said on the phone.

A popular ploy by these upfront fee scam companies is to tell you over the phone that they will sell or rent out your unit if you send them money. Then after you send them money, they will send you a contract that says they will merely advertise (not actually sell or rent out) your property. Then they post your unit for sale or rent on some obscure website. Then they can claim that they honored the contract and did what you paid them to do according to the contract. Thus, the cc company will likely side with the scammer.
