We just received a phone call last night asking if we still had our timeshare on the market. If so Premier Timeshare Solutions would be glad to find a buyer for us. When I was hesitant and asked if any money was needed up front I was told no, not from her per se. She said that they get their money from the lending institution on the buyers loan and that they have qualified buyers that they work with that are looking for a time share. That seemed strange, but I gave her all the particulars on our time share and hung up. Within a couple of hours we got a call stating that they had a buyer for our time share that was offering 19,500.00. Now mind you, we had never told them what we were asking and it was double what we had put it on the market for. Of course we were thrilled and then thought. If it seems to good to be true it probably is. So, my husband continued with the conversation to find out that all we had to do was send a check for $1,500.00 to cover the cost of a title search and paperwork that would be covered by a listing agent. Since they were not agents this was necessary to collect and we would get it back at the close of escrow. We would get the full $19,500.00 at close of escrow, plus our check in the amount of $1,500.00 as well. My husband expressed his concern and asked the caller to send a copy of the contract. He told him that he wanted our attorney to look it over. We then received another call and I was still thinking it was probably a scam, but was hopefull that it wasn't. That money would come in very handy right now. That is when I decided to look up the company on line and found this site. I am so thankful that we didn't take this any further.in this ecomony I guess it is buyer as well as seller beware!
Not happy in California!
