Is there any information on IBE, (International Business Events)? They claim to be a rental company for special events and want to rent timeshares. There address is 777 Tower South Figueroa, Los Angeles, CA. They are not listed with the BBB. Arlene174

Their website was created on March 4th of this year.

They are not registered as a corporation, LLC or even a DBA in California. They claim to be a not-for-profit organization, but they didn't show up in the California non profit registry search either.

I'm sure they will have clever excuses for all of those things, but if it were me I would avoid them. Most quality not-for-profit organizations that are on the up and up are very proud and transparent, and it won't be hard to find their licensing.

Also, you can't just be located at 777 Tower South Figueroa, Los Angeles, CA. It's a 52 story 1.25 million square foot building, so the fact that they don't give a suite number or floor is also strange.

Thank you for the info on International Business Events. I did google the address which did exist so that's why I checked with RedWeek. Sometimes I think I have "TURNIP" written on my forehead.

Thanks again Arlene174
