My husband and I were trying to rent out our timeshare when this person contacted us saying she was interested and would send a certified check. We recieved a check that was more than what was owed and an email (shown below).in the email below, some of the information that was talked about was not consistent with what we had discussed in earlier emails and all of a sudden the person is a male instead of a female. The email made us suspicious and so we did some research and realized that it was a scam, in which we did not cash any check but only our time was wasted and we need to start over to rent our timeshare. I wanted to report this because I want other people to be aware of this scam so they do not become victims. Here is the last email that was sent to us.
