Last month a representative called us saying excitedly "Congratulations! We've sold your timeshare!" Well, having been down this road before, I was very skeptical. They claimed to have a legitimate buyer and we would only have to pay $1792 for a title search and closing statements and all these costs would be recouped upon the finalization of the sale. Yeah, right! Like I said, we've been down this road before. I hung up on them. Moments later, the sales manager called and repeated the same spiel. I told her if there were a buyer, he should be paying those costs, not me. She claimed that they would send a certified letter within a few days as confirmation. I said that certified letter should contain the name of the escrow company and it should state in writing that there was a pending sale. Surprise, surprise. When the certified letter arrived 10 days later, it was, of course, a marketing contract, not a bill of sale. This after I had said repeatedly that we were not interested in any kind of marketing scam they were offering! It is outrageous that a company like this can continue to do business. Yet, I suppose there are enough people willing to believe the ridiculous notion that they have sold something they no longer want, and are willing to be duped out of their money. We are not on that list.
