My wife got a message from these people. Thanks, jayjay, for the info. I'm telling her not to deal with these people. If it's the scam it looks like, perhaps we should report them to the attorney general's office--they told her they have a buyer. Recording someone's voice without permission is illegal in Florida (even the cops can't without a warrant), but I'd love to get them to agree to be recorded...heh, heh, heh...

Exactly, and I would go so far as to start a class action lawsuit against the scammers .... see my thread on that subject.

The problem is that you may get the class action law suit rolling, but these cochroaches just disband, shutdown and show up under another company name. This one company has from my estimation recreated itself 4X times over the years. State of Florida will do nothing because they can't find them.

That may be true but you, and others that's been scammed, need to stay on Attorneys General to shut ALL UPFRONT FEE RESALE COMPANIES across the board .... what they're doing is illegal.

Take action .... file a fraud complaint with the attorney general in the state the scammers are located .... I don;t understand people that's been scammed and do absolutely nothing about it except complain on an internet forum.

devon, my experience with this company has sucked...took alot of my money and then can't get ahold of the agent that sold it , phone disconnected. they won't call back and they have had my money for 8 months or so...and nothing. keep giving me the runaround. if you have any ideas . i just want my money back

I am still working with them, will let you know what happens. Who is the agent you are dealing with.

I call almost daily and was told they have 2-3 buyers and they will call be back. It's a lost cause......

my experience has sucked also. was told by bethany that they would take care of me, she had to do alot of promises and persaussion to get me to fork over alot of money. said she already had someone who might be interested and could sell for what we had in it if we wanted. said she could get back the points we lost in rci that we had banked and never could find a place and time to use them so we lost them . told me to check bbb and i did and told me her # was#tp11213 which is a agent # and i checked out this, but they only call when i call them and of course i cannot get ahold of her-even her cell phone number she gave me is disconnected. they say she is in training in another state, but don't tell me if she works there or not. runaround for me also and only call i had was to offer to pay us 1/4 for our timeshare and we didn't want to sell anyway. any suggestions let me know

I spoke with Amy and have left several messages with a "manager" but never got a call back. I have seen other posts to call the attorney general and file a complaint, not sure of the address or how to begin this process. Something needs to be done.

You can find a list of all state's Attorneys General below .... many times you can file your complain online depending on the state the scammers are located:

Did anyone actually sell a timeshare through this company?

If they are a scam, you are fully covered by your credit card company to receive a full refund.

Any positive thoughts would be good as i am looking to sell my timeshare. Thanks

Sigh !!! and for the millionth time, any resale company that charges a large upfront fee is a scam, period .... as far as your credit card company goes, you have to prove that it was a scam and you only have 60 days to do so.

Also, have you not read all the negative testimonials here concerning that company .... sheesh!

yeah, i read all the posts. I was asking if anyone actually sold a timeshare through them.

So can you recommend a company to sell my timeshare?

iCare told me they got my name from the state of Florida because the state shut Time Share Pro down for fraud. I told iCare that I did not want to sell my timeshare based on all of the comments in this thread. Today Time Share Pro called with a buyer from my original listing. Time Share Pro has changed their name to Timeshare Mega Media Marketing. They want to use my credit card to deposit $1996 in an escrow account that will be refunded when the sale is final. The timing is ironic.

As I posted earlier, they get shutdown and they show up the next day with a new name and its business as usual. ICARE will do it again I am sure. And the BS about an escrow account, is just that, BS. Their will be no account with money that won't dissapear.

They are all thieving cochroaches !!!

They haven't sold anything .... all they want is your credit card to charge you the upfront fee .... all of a sudden, the buyer will have backed out or couldn't get financing but they keep your upfront fee ..... don't bite.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE.. I HAVE TURNED MINE OVER TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO DEAL WITH THEM...CANNOT GET THEM TO ANSWER THE PHONE, JUST KEEP GETTING SWITCHBOARD. DID NOTHING THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD AND TOOK 1700.00 OF MY MONEY JUST TO HELP ME RENT OUT MY POINTS...BETHANY SAID SHE WAS FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE AT RCI AND WOULD GET BACK ALL THE BANKED POINTS THAT WE HAVE LOST ALSO, GAVE ME HER CELL PHONE NUMBER AND NOW IT IS DISCONNECTED AND HEARD NOTHING FROM RCI....DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM, I AM TOLD DON'T DEAL WITH ANYONE WHO WANTS UPFRONT MONEY

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?? THEN TELL THEM TO CALL ME BACK...IF THEY WERE LEGIT IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING THEY WOULD ANSWER THEIR PHONES...I CALLED 20 TIMES LAST WEEK AND FINALLY GOT THROUGH ONCE TO THE SALES DEPT AND THEY TRANSFERED ME TO THE SWITHBOARD AND I NEVER DID GET ANYONE BUT TO ANSWER THE SWITCHBOARD FROM THAT TIME FORWARD...THE GIRL THAT SIGNED ME UP IS NO LONGER THERE, THEY SAY SHE IS IN TRAINING AT ANOTHER SITE...IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION TO HELP ME . PLEASE DO ALL I WANT IS MY HARD EARNED MONEY BACK!!!!

About all you can do is report them to the attorney general in the state the scammers are located and stay in touch with the AG .... the AG in Florida has sued several upfront fee scam companies, but unless you report them your hands are tied.
