Type of a scam Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

the called originally identifying as RCI the Timeshare thing then as we got more into conversation they switched to the villa and vacation rentals. Then the nice sales person asked for a credit card which I gave she said contract would be drawn up and they were on contract they wanted more up front money they were guaranteeing a 10,000 payout on using my RCI property which I did have it turns out. Called RCI and spoke to three diferent people who all said it is a known scam that goes away and comes back under different name but RCI reminded me that I didn't have any vacation property to have them buy and the purchase of the vacation property was in violation of terms and conditions anyway . They said 3 time DO NO PAY ANY MONEY

Type of a scam Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

I received a call from someone with an offer to Rent out 4-6 weeks of my Extra RCI Vacation Weeks. All I had to do was pay the $399/wk activation fee to open up those weeks, then I would be guaranteed $1800/wk within 180 days, but told that average time to book these weeks would be 60-90 days. Essentially, if I pay $1,596 to activate 4 weeks of RCI getaways, I was guaranteed $7,200 back within 180 days, or $2,394 // $10,800 for 6 weeks. He said his name is Jeremiah Michell and his direct call back number was 786-772-7746. He followed up with an email (Yes, I gave him my email address) which had a link to their website - villasandvacationrentals.com. He was a very smooth operator, giving me a bunch of information, encouraging me to write it all down and discuss it with my husband.

The red flags - 1) The website seemed suspiciously designed to reassure those who may suspect a scam and to illicit a sense of Act Now or Miss Out! 2) There was little to no online footprint for this company that he claims does this year after year. 3) No information on ScamPulse.com or DNB indicating this was a legit company. When I searched the address on DNB, I found a different company name altogether.

My husband found a Facebook Group that discussed this type of scam. Fortunately I did my research before falling for this very convincing scam!

Total money lost $4,000
Type of a scam Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Our complaint is the same as the other listed. Company called with an invitation to rent our unused timeshare vacation weeks. We paid $4,000 upfront. Since, doing so they have been hard to reach only returning calls every now and then. The initially stated we would have our weeks used or rented within the first 30/45 days. It has now been 7 to 8 months and those weeks have still gone unrented. After approximately 10 to 12 months of them now securing any renters, all monies will be lost. At this point there is no one answering calls and only a VM can be left. They were using an outsourced phone answering company to answer calls and basically when you were able to reach someone you were always told the "marketing department" was all busy and unable to answer any calls at this time. This company should and will be reported to the state's Attorney Generals office.
