Mar 16, 2021 Could not find anything on here, but found info on Tug. Continuum , Now say Continuum travel agency have changed it up since Jan 2021 post on Tug. Found BBB for 12 years, and in business 30 years, but no reviews. Big flag. They contact you with a huge amount for your timeshare, they say they have no up front fees. They say we have been hired by foreign investors who want to buy 90 different time shares for the purpose of tax write offs. They say this company is a construction company in Europe and Latin America. that has contracted them to deal with the timeshare owners and do the neg as the buyers dont have time to deal with it. That it does not matter to them how much they pay as its a tax write off.

They say you can take the contract to your lawyer ect so you can make an educated guess. This came out as I asked why would anyone pay what we paid for our timeshares. We all know they do not have great resale. I mentioned that i rent mine out and they said I dont prob get what I should and prob dont have the right clients. They say transfer fees are taken out of proceeds. I could not find any reviews on BBB and they said it cost money to belong. Had a good hunch this was a scam so did not agree to receiving the contract with the info on it as they said we could review and decide if to sign. They offered 45,000 for our4weeks at PB Sunset beach junior suite in the email after the 1st phone call. . A little big red flag there.

When I found the post on Tug for Jan 2021 which Sue on customer service from redweek here had not heard of them and suggested checking tug. I sent it to Continuum and they came back with we are a registered business with the state of Colorado and you can check it on line . And companies can find stuff on anyone. . They said it was up to us to decide and if this was not a good time that was all right, that we could contact them at a later date if we decide to move forward. Hello, SCAM,

Would be interested if many others have been contacted by them as they said 90 vacation resorts, were chosen. JUst curious how wide spread this is.

We are going the living hell with this company and sad to say after 6 months of lies and deceit they keep coming back for more money and we are already out a large sum and there is truly no end in sight. They have now threatened it will cost more to to get out of this mess to have our fund returned. If anyone knows who can represent the senior consumer and retract funds I would be so grateful. All we have now is Karma.

Don't shoot the messenger, but funds that you have paid to these parasites will not be "returned" in any scenario.

That said, I respectfully suggest that you pay no attention to any more lies, empty threats or requests for more money. All that can happen (besides the unfortunate loss of whatever money you have paid so far) is that your "relationship" with these thieving parasites will cease; that's actually a good thing. The sooner you cut all ties with these parasites, the sooner you will stop losing money. The unpleasant truth is that they are not going to do anything except continue to seek to extract more and more money from you until you just stop sending any more money to them.

If you believe that there was fraud involved in this matter, you can (and should) initiate formal complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's office of the state in which you conducted this transaction, but understand clearly that regretting unwise financial decisions is not a sufficient legal basis on which to successfully elicit government or law enforcement intervention, unless there was fraud involved.

Gidget, they have offered to buy your timeshare for a lot of money. Then a number of fees came up. You paid them. There are more fees cropping up and they still haven't finished the transaction. THEY WILL NOT. They are scammers. They won't stop until you stop sending money. They never wanted your timeshare. Just your money. If you want to "stop the transaction" you can just stop talking to them. They are crooks. They will not sue you because they are nothing but scammers. All their paperwork is baloney. You have lost a bunch of money. Don't loose anymore by continuing contact with them.

Hi, I'm Matt Brown Co Founder of Rental Trader. You may get a call, text, or flyer in the mail to say you've earned a vacation. Or maybe you see an ad online that promises free or low-cost vacations. Behind these offers are often scammers and dishonest people. You might end up paying hidden fees, or worse, after you pay, you might find out the whole thing was a scam.
