• Too good to be true: If anyone makes promises that are too good to be true-it most likely is. Many companies will make it sounds as if your timeshare is worth more than you paid. Some will promise to sell your timeshare within a certain timeframe. If anyone specifies a price or states that they can sell your within a certain amount time, this should be an immediate red-flag.
• Claims to Have a Buyer: Several companies will claim that they already have a buyer for your timeshare. It's important to know that no one can sell what is not yet for sale. When someone claims that they already have a buyer willing to pay for your timeshare, be wary of any upfront fees. Understand what these fees are for and what services are begin provided.
• Transfer Companies and Relief Companies: A new tactic is sending out notices to timeshare owners and enticing them with negative messages about their timeshare. For a price of around $3000 they will claims to transfer ownership out of your hands. While most companies never do transfer ownership, the ones that do transfer them into a "Viking Ship LLC" or a shell company that acts as a third-party closing company. Rather than paying maintenance fees, using the weeks or selling them, the Viking Ship will often file bankruptcy and creates a financial burden for the resort and other timeshare owners.
• Claims to be from Attorney General's Office: Other schemes involve companies pretending to be from the Attorney General's Office. The scammers will claim that they are from a Timeshare Advocacy Company/Bureau. They promise restitution for any moneys lost to resale companies or even the resort itself. This scam charged fees upwards of $400 to $4000 for "court fees" and/or "filing costs." After promising to repay victims from a non-existent "state restitution fund," the companies were never heard from again.
