I was just called by a company called Timeshare Sell Now? They called about the sale of my timeshare.?
I’ve paid companies in the past and am weary about paying anybody…Has anyone out there dealt with them or know who they are?
They have a B- on the BBB and have no complaints but one reason could be that they have only been in business since 9/9/2009 according to the BBB webpage. A company really needs to prove its worth in the marketplace especially the shark-infested timeshare resales industry. I’d be careful on this one.
We were scammed in Las Vegas in April 2012 by deceitful, misleading, fraudulent sales representatives of Wyndham Vacation Resorts! Has this happened to you?
Has Anyone Ever Taken One of Those Vacation Packages Where They Try To Sell A Timeshare?
Recently, I signed on for what seemed to be an excellent vacation package. Two nights stay at a Williamsburg, VA resort w/two adult tickets to Busch Gardens included – all for only $89. Additionally, they are claiming they will give me two more nights at another time – FREE of charge – to return.
Upon verifying this package, I realized it is a time share selling package. You get this rate – but you have to devote an hour and a half to them dragging you around the resort and attempting to sell you a timeshare in it. There’s no obligation to buy (supposedly) – but you have to at least take the tour and participate to get the rate and return package deal. The return trip doesn’t include the hour and a half tour again.
Has anyone ever done this? Did they make you sign anything? Is putting up with the tour and timeshare selling attempts worth it for the trip or is this a scam that will only inconvenience me and my family on our vacation?
You’ll leave with a timeshare! Don’t do it unless you really want a timeshare.
You can’t get the tickets to the attractions if you don’t go. My trip included a stay at a hotel, and a cruise and you couldn’t get the tickets to the cruise if you didn’t sit through the timeshare stuff. But it wasn’t as simple as touring the timeshare. You sit around until you basically either convince them you can’t afford it (which you can…they make sure of that) or you sign the papers and put the down payment on a timeshare.
Then your phone number is in the system and they call you over and over again until you sign up for another b/c now you’re a “hot” lead…someone’s that bought before. Or you are a warm lead because you’ve taken the package and you may take another one.
Good luck! They aren’t worth it if you ask me and I’ll never do it again…cruise or not!
