I received a call from a Justin Wyrick who stated that he had a buyer for my timeshare. I was immediately skeptical since I had no idea how this company knew I wanted to sell my timeshare or how they had already found a buyer before my first conversation with them. Mr. Wyrick stated that the buyers were an "older couple" who were willing to pay several thousand more than what I originally paid for the timeshare. Anyway, I specifically asked if there was any fee involved and he said "no", not until the buyer had signed the paperwork locking them into the offer. Mr. Wyrick then told me that I would need to pay $1,350 at that time. I asked several questions including what the fee covered and what if the buyers backed out of the deal. The fee was said to cover the title search (significantly more than what this usually cost), and that in his experience no buyer had ever backed out of a deal. Mr. Wyrick could not give an answer as to what would happen if the buyers backed out. Mr. Wyrick stated that he would call the buyers to see if they would accept the offer. Within the hour Mr. Wyrick returned my call and stated that the buyers accepted and had already paid $2,800 which was placed in escrow. Still skeptical, I told him that I would need to discuss it with my husband and get back to him. We later decided that we wanted to see some documentation stating that the buyers had agreed to the sale and we were told that he could not get this to us until we paid the $1,350 with our credit card. When we said that we would not do that, Mr. Wyrick became irate and hung up on us. Just a word of advice... Don't send money to someone who contacts you offering a deal that sounds too good to be true.
