I wanted to submit this complaint so it may help others not to get caught up in the scam I did. I paid Timeshare Travels $1999.00 in Jan. Of 2009 to sell my timeshare in Myrtle Beach. I originally paid $12,000 for the week and a sales representative at Timeshare Travels said I could easily get $24,000 for the timeshare in 60 days. At the 60 day mark I had heard NOTHING from this company after repeated attempts to contact them. The person I spoke to initially had left the company and I was referred to customer service, etc... I took matters into my own hands and hired an investigator to find out more on this so called re-sale company. I was shocked to find out not only has this company changed names and is operating as Timeshare Depot Inc. (www.timesharedepotinc.com), but they have contacted me again trying to sell me a exchange membership and to advertise my Myrtle Beach timeshare to sell for $2000.00 fee. Furthermore, I was told that they also are not at the address listed on the website, but located on Federal Hwy.in Boca Raton less than a mile from the Timeshare Travels office location. The investigator also stated that Timeshare Travels had to pay a hefty fine to the State of Florida over $190,000. Also, the employees have to have a state commercial sales license and there are some people working "Under the Radar" without a sales license. I cannot believe the State of Florida is allowing scams like this to continue on a daily basis. I hope that if anyone is contacted by Timeshare Depot Inc. Will hang up the telephone immediately
