You sound like someone that might be a former employee of that company. I purchased with this company bought with sunset harbor and have received checks thru PRL they have treated me with divinity and respect, done everything they said they would but I don't know all that you claim here so you sound like a disgruntled employee. Hope it works out for you

This is something that was written to me by one of the long list of people that was scammed. I got an email from a Brandon Jon back in October (12) that my wife didn't tell me about until today! What I find curious about this email is that they want to increase the difficulty of following their money trail by transferring the balance 10 days after it is posted. They say that there is a limit that is clearly less than the amount they expect you to transfer and not to worry about it. Hmmmmmm Sound shady yet? I'll attach the email contents to the end of this email. You can post what-ever you like from it to RedWeek forum. Notice the name of Brandon Jon? BJ! Another alias? Notice that they appear even less legit as all their emails are free and not from a registered domain. It's just too shady to believe!

I started thinking about other legal and PR nightmares that we can inflict upon these villains. First and foremost, I came up with the idea of flooding RCI and VSI with complaints against the SHR and demanding that they be taken out of their listings. Here's what we need to do according to a lady at RCI I just spoke with; Email to FeedBack@RCI.com

In the email, include dates, amounts, places they met, names of those involved, Companies and all the phone numbers related to them you can find. After 25 such emails, they begin an investigation. Within 60 days, they will be removed from their listings. You may need to also provide your RCI membership number so they know you are legit. However, they may accept it if you give them a way to contact you personally other than an email address. You might also make a point that they knew way too much information about people's personal RCI information for them to not be connected to RCI. Don't forget to mention that their phone calls still have a caller ID of RCI <several spaces> PRL or some such letters that don't fit on most phones. They further loosely and falsely ID themselves as either representing RCI or (that agency that is supposed to regulate the Time Share industry).

We too have been scammed by these people. Our story is the same as most all of others, contacted with info stating we needed an update for our existing Timeshare, met with Todd Miller @ O;Charlie's in Augusta, GA on 9/17/12. The rest is as stated in other post... Bombarded us with figures and statements of a new way to pay maintenance fees, have more vaca time and money in our pockets. Now we have a cc balance of $9,788.00, no deed, no PRL and VSI saying they know nothing about this. Sunset Harbor, PRL and VSI have to have knowledge of each other or they could not connect us/you with all three. Need any and all responses to help get out of this and to get these people out of business so they can not do this to other people.

We had the same experience with Todd Miller in Augusta, GA in Sept. He filled us with a mountain of lies and now cannot be contacted. Of course we didn't see all this info until after we had been scammed. How stupid can we be???

Looks like they talked a Sweet line to all of us. So join the rest of us Stupids.. Hey I have a list I am keeping of everyone around. If you want send me your names and address. Hazena@aol.com

I have exactly the same story as above. My credit card has been charged $8300.00 and I have received nothing. When I called PRI I was told they have gone into receivership. Sunset Harbor is not answering the phone nor is the sales man that sold us this package. I contacted Chase about the card charge and was told they can do nothing. I do not want a timeshare in Texas. After all these years I can’t believe I fell for this. The timeshare purchased in 1990 has worked out reasonably well. This looked like a way to use our extra points. HELP

We were called and told RCI had made some changes and they wanted to update us on this. Being an RCI member, I tho't OK. After a short time there TIMESHARE SALES PITCH came. Buy 10,000 in Sunset Harbor Resorts in Texas for approx.$8,500.00 for a studio. You will be able to deposit your existing timeshare points (100,000 max./yr) w/PRL and they will rent out and you will receive cash @ 8.5 cents /point 6 months after depositing points. You can use this to maintenance fees for existing timeshare, sunset harbor resort maintenance fees, PRL fees, etc. Sounded great, but almost too good to be true after we got home and tho't it over. Researched- VSI did apply to be accredited by BBB in Ohio. B rating, but elsewhere I found complaints against, ohio, had no complaints Tried to call the rep. we talked to, but has never returned call. Wondering if this is a SCAM Operation. From what i could find on VSI 4 people started it and just recently incorporated. Sunset Harbor based in Vegas, found very little on Could get someone on the phone, but you can't go to talk to them personally, I was told. PRL is sketchy too. Anyone else know anything on this company's legitimacy. \

Read through this thread of messages, you'll get your answer.

No...this company isn't legit at all, if you buy a timeshare...you bought it and will be paying for it along with annual maintenance fees. You won't get money for your so called points and the sales people will walk away with a fat commission for scamming you. Get out of this agreement if you can.

Take advantage of the cancellation clause and make sure you have a paper trail to show how to cancelled, if you have already bought in. They will not refund your money willingly, you'll have to either prove to your credit card compnay you cancelled the contract within the allocated time, so you can have your credit card refund your money. Read the thread...Beleive us....get out if you can!!!

I filed a report with the Plainfield Indiana police today. I will file a small claims with the county courts soon.

You also need to file a complaint with the Indiana attorney general .... you can google for contact info and file your complaint online.

Warren, What are the names of your "salesmen"?

The primary one was Andrew Lauer. I don't have any other names. We met at Chili's in Plainfield on the afternoon of 9-27-12.

That wasn't nice rocky .... I found hazena's post above humorous .... I even chuckled. What she meant is that PRL does their presentations at different restaurants and she deemed Shoney's below the other restaurants mentioned.

NOTE: I, myself, like Shoney's Restaurants.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing after reading the post above .... there are so many scams involving the timeshare industry that I wouldn't have time to list them all in a day.

jamesj, it IS what it IS ..... people have posted their personal testimonials concerning PRL ..... one more time, they couldn't be from the same person as the screen names are different.

I thought Hazena's post was funny too. Jamesj406 is either a shill or personally involved with PRL. He has posted in here many times defending BJ Cooke and his scam machine. He posed as a satisfied customer and also a former timeshare employee. He definitely has a motive to steer people to the scammers. Don't believe one word he says. He can't even remember the lies he's posted. Just scroll back and you will see his posts.

Well, don't feel too bad. My parents "got" to eat at Ryan's in Hammond, La. and it's definitely nothing to write home about. LOL I think I would rather Shoney's.

I believe this is a salesman james "Jim" jones out of the branson area who still sells for the company. he claims that he is a very christian moral guy who is a retired houston policeman but he is smart enough to know its a scam and fraudulently posed as an owner in another forum under his handle kujuboman. He even tries to sell the fact that he is honest. definitely a shill.

You know all of you must have worked for this resort or PRL your talking about and it sounds like you are mad because you were fired. Fact, the original post said you worked for them 2 years if I recall so we conclude you scammed everyone knowingly if what your saying is true and you did it without thought so what are we to think?
