CFT Sales

At what point of the transaction sale would CFT collect its $600? If it's upfront, then that is a scam. If it is out of the proceeds of the sale, then it might be legitimate. However, most legitimate companies that do this charge a minimum $1000.
How did you come to find out about this company? Was it a telemarketing call? Is this company telling you it can fetch you tens of thousands of dollars for the sale of your unit? If so, then this is a scam.

Their website is full of poor grammar and could have been written by a 5th grader. No specifics about what they do except this: "CFT SALES will advertise to millions of people for you..." Sounds like a listing site with little chance of success. If you want to know the value of your timeshare, go to Ebay and look at closed sales. If they don't want a fee upfront, what the heck - give it a try. But, I think that is wishful thinking.

That sounds good on paper but what a lot of these scam artists do is emphasize "No upfront fee!" to bait the owners. Then, the scam people come back to the owner and say that they found a buyer and that everything is in place for the sale and transfer. Then, when the owner is licking his chops at the thought of the huge amount of money allegedly coming his way and not thinking rationally about any thing else, the scammers say that they just need a fee or tax for this or that and that it has to be paid by the owner/seller before the sale and transfer can be finalized.

That's probably because they have recently resurfaced under a new name with the same, old scam. That's what these scam companies do when they get exposed or have the authorities on their tail.
