Andrea Of Extremely pushy sales practices, they will take your money and you'll never hear from them

After an unsolicited phone call in August 07 to sell my timeshare I was repeatedly called every night by Andrea until I showed some interest. I was told several untruths (they had an A on Better Business Bureau, they were actually given a C shortly after I paid) in an effort to get me to sell with them.
Andrea told me that she was "a good Christian woman who would never rip someone off" (not that I cared but what a load of bull...) among other pushy sales jargon.
It was effective in the moment because I was keen to sell my timeshare and after I convinced her to halve their going rate I thought it might be worth it.
I have not had a single phone call or email offer from them in the 12 months that they have had my "listing". Their initial price recommendation was so high I have called them to lower it 3 times.
I think I was slightly lucky in that I did not pay the full amount they were charging to sell it ($600) however, I am out $300 of my money and a year of wasted time.
Do not sell, rent or take any offers of your timeshare or vacation share from these scammers.
A comment from another report shows that they have previously been listed in Florida under different Company names doing the same thing. They are scammers and I am an unlucky, taken in victim of their scam. DO NOT FALL TO THE SAME SCAM.
I have submitted them to the Better Business Bureau. They have a several complaints lodged there and a C rating.
