Of course any timeshare sale has selling involved. (duh) I said that PRL is sold as an add-on by resorts. PRL doesn't do any selling. resorts sell deeds that are points based and then THEY offer our services. That's all I'm saying. PRL doesn't have sales staff on site. Resorts do.

It's a lot of double talk to separate people from their money. I agree with Jay jay. Why would a big shot big company owner come in here and call people childish names. Doesn't sound like a company I would want to deal with. Let's see how Tina makes out. Let's see if BJ Cooke is all hot air or he will make Tina's parents whole. The world is watching.

So, what is your job in this scam .... when people buy into Sunset Harbor then they are scammed into buying more points from what I've read on TUG and elsewhere.

I was looking to relieve myself of the maintenance fees of my resort. So I listened to the Sunset Harbor pitch and to subscribe to the PRL system. I really thought that this was an answer to my prayers. Well, Sunset Harbor sales people misinformed me of the time frame to get a payout. In addition the Sunset Habor mislayed my info thus delaying my deed and a payout. Needless to say I thought that I had been scammed again. I have been scammed twice previously. Well I have been working with BJ Cooke on this and have now received my first payout. Awaiting a second one in 30 days. All I can say is have patience and it may work for you. I wasn't enthralled with Sunset Harbor's sale teams promises. They fell very short. Also having to deal with Bank oF America was unknown to me at the time. I do not deal with high interest rate banks. Don't need to.

I smell a shill. Sounds like what they want you to believe is that people really get paid. No one is going to give back more than you pay in. If it was really true they would cash it in themselves. Why give away the farm. If it sounds too good to be true than it is " too good to be true. ". Looks like they sent a shill in here to pose as a real customer.

Let's look at the timeline. Bj comes in here promoting his rip off scam and gets exposed. He then reverts to childish name calling. He acts like like a little kid instead of a company executive and gets called on it. All of sudden he disappears from sight. Out of the clear appears Donaldc215 singing the praises of BJ Cooke and his company. Gee..... I wonder how this could have happened. Am I the only one to see through this act of desperation. Good try BJ but I don't think anyone is going to fall for it. Anyone believing this scam derserves to lose their hard earned money. I can't wait to see his next attempt find another sucker to rip off.
Don P.
DonP, Your right. I made up his account 2-3 months ago and ripped on PRL calling it a scam just so that I could back go on 2-3 months later and say I got paid. Are you really that dense? Go back a couple pages and look when DonaldC called it a scam and said he wishes he wouldn't have done it and warned other buyers. You think I would want that on here? He just got a check for $5250 for 7 weeks of rental. The program works. As he said the resort misquoted the timeline but he still got paid just like everyone does. Just to be clear, do you think it was a made up account tearing apart PRL months ago? Think with your brain if that is an option for you. Is it that hard to believe that a non-timeshare owner would prefer to pay $1000 for a week in a 2 bed 2 bath condo instead of $60-$120 a night for a hotel. There is an obvious market for that but there are too many rental companies out there that are bad and don't really try to move inventory. We do it smart. We market instead of advertise. You could have pictures of the checks with a 70 year old pastor telling you how it has worked for him and you wouldn't believe it. That's your right. At this point people who would look at this that have an IQ over 30 would be able to interpret how it works and see the market for what we do. Thank god everyone isn't you. Enjoy them maintenance dues and exchange fees DonP. My people, who are intelligent, don't pay them.
Cordially, BJ Cooke

Yeah right .... do you really expect us to believe the nonsense above. I wouldn't pay $1000 for a week of timeshare when I can rent for far less than that. You've come to the wrong place to spout your scam and childish name calling. Maybe it's time you got a REAL job in the REAL world.

God is spelled with a capital G and it's not, "enjoy them maintenance dues" .... it's, "enjoy those maintenance dues". Talk about an IQ less than 30 ..... sheesh .... look in the mirror. It's evident that you're getting more and more desperate to sale your scam. Many people research before they sign on the dotted line and this thread will come up on all search engines .... you'd better quit while your behind.
R P.
I couldn't be more ahead jayjay. You really don't believe there is a market for time share weeks to non-timeshare owners? I try to write PRL and BJ Cooke in every post so this does come up on searches. I think you are looking at the wrong scoreboard. There has been no childish name calling. Calling an idiot and an imbecile an idiot and an imbecile isn't childish name calling but simply stating a fact. Enjoy THEM dues jayjay.

They way BJ Cooke and his band of thieves works is the way Tina described. They prey on vulnerable people. They bait them into their presentation and when they find a sucker they isolate them and take their money under false pretenses. I'll wait to hear from Tina and see if BJ makes her parents whole. The shills are sent in here to tell tales of getting money from a ponzi type scheme and look for greedy people thinking they can beat the system. There is no free lunch. If it sounds too good to be true then it is " too good to be true ". Anyone thinking about getting involved with the snake oil salesman has been warned. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Don P.
By the way BJ maybe you can explain your F rating with the BBB. I guess you can come up with a clever excuse. One problem you are going to have finding a sucker in here is that they come in here after they have already been ripped off or they do their homework first by coming in here to do some research. You'll have to do your business by baiting unsuspecting victims with your scam presentations at Perkins. I hope I get one of those notices to attend one of them. I would enjoy going to one to expose your scam.

Letters were sent from my parents' lawyer and emailed directly to BJ a week later. I checked the Bank of America credit card balances Saturday, which was one week after email to BJ, but the amounts due haven't changed. I really hope this will get settled without the lawyers having to take action. We did get a letter from the La. Attorney General's office, so they might be able to do something. I'll let you know.

Tina, I will really be curious as to how this turns out for your parents. Honestly, if it does work out, and you report that on this forum, will you be then labeled a "company shill". I must confess that I am still somewhat on the fence on this one .... Yes, we rescinded the contract and I am glad we did. But there seems to be a level of animosity here against what Cooke is saying that goes beyond a reasonable discussion. For what it is worth, I emailed Cooke last week to say that we were interested in discussing his offer to me (and subsequently to all of us) of trying the program out with no timeshare purchase required. I have not heard back from him which makes me uneasy (again) but it is possible that my email to him got stuck in his spam folder ...BJ, perhaps you could check your spam folder? And, Tina, I do hope you will keep us posted. From some of you, I can anticipate some strong reaction to my willingness to give Mr. Cooke an opportunity to present his offer to me. I think it is the equitable thing to do given the level of vitriol in some of these posts. Before writing to me to save me from my "folly", please understand that I will not commit to any "up front" money purchase and am only interested in discussing the offer he presented here. So, I don't really need posts chastising me for what I see as giving the gentleman a fair shot. OR posts calling ME a "company shill.". I think that has bothered me - that anyone who does not have the extreme animosity evidenced by " they who shall not be named" is discredited in this manner. Seriously, if every "positive" report is characterized as such, that is a bias that renders the whole discussion somewhat pointless. I am interested in both the positive and the negative experiences of other people.

I am sick and tired of hearing people coming into these forums and posting their stories of how they've been ripped off for thousands of dollars of hard earned money like Tina's parents. I do not get a financial gain by helping people avoid being scammed. BJ on the other hand makes his living selling snake oil. He seems to be proud of his " F " rating with the BBB, They don't give out " F " ratings to reputable companies.
If you want to look at name calling and childish behavior all you have to do is scroll back to some of BJ's rants. Not the behavior of a company president that I would do business with. I would also encourage you to google his name and you might get a wake up call about his character or lack there of.
If helping others avoid being scammed of their hard earned money is a negative trait to you then I'm guilty. I sleep well at night knowing I might have prevented someone from being scammed.

tina would be a company shill for what company? She is merely trying to help her parents that were scammed by PRL.

Speaking of company shills .... sheesh!
For one thing, ads are not permitted in the forums .... what you're doing is placing an ad here = shill. If you want to know how PRL works then call (don't email) Mr. Cooke.
