Hey buddy, want to sell your timeshare fast?
This is the typical expression used by the telemarketers to hook people into another fraud: the Timeshare resale companies.
Lots of people are getting ripped off, and not just by the timeshare companies but also by the timeshare resale scam companies.
The reason why this happens is that many people who own a timeshare are desperate to give it away, since they’re not able to keep paying the high costs of maintenance because of the economic downturn.
Also, some of them were practically pushed into buying the property due to the high-pressured timeshare presentations, and others have just outlived the timeshare’s usefulness.
Whichever the reason is, anyone who finds himself in those kinds of situations becomes an easy target for the timeshare resale scam companies.
Timeshare Resale Scam Companies: How They Operate
These companies are also known as “Resale Service Providers”. They contact people, especially through phone calls.
The telemarketers claim to the person on the other side of the phone that the resales market is “hot”, and that selling their timeshare will be an easy job.
All they ask for is an upfront fee of about $300 to $700, which varies depending on the location and size of the unit.
After that, they promise to sell your timeshare for an equal price to your purchase cost, or even greater, so you can also generate profits, and that they count on an exclusive customer portfolio full of potential buyers who are interested in getting your timeshare.
Finally, In order to further entice the person, they guarantee to give them the money back in case they can’t sell the timeshare within a certain period.
That’s how the timeshare resale scam companies operate, described in a concrete manner.
Timeshare Resale Scam Companies: How to Avoid Them
There are 5 signs that will let you know you’re being a victim of a Timeshare Resale Scam Company:
- Unsolicited phone calls
- Upfront fees
- No real estate license
- Unrealistic pricing
- Inflated closing costs
If you notice any of those signs, you’re surely getting scammed. We give you the following tips to be prepared:
- Hang Up. If the company reaches you by phone, and you don’t ask for their services, there’s a huge possibility they’re trying to scam you.
- In case you decide not to hang up and hear what they have to say, never ever give your credit card numbers when they ask for the upfront fee.
- Do research on the company, since a large percentage of them turn out to be fraudulent.
- In no way trust a company that offers an unrealistic pricing, if it’s too good to be true, it’s not real.
- Be suspicious of any offers you receive to resell your timeshare. Check on the web to find out if the costs are realistic.
By following the last advice, you’re protecting yourself from the frauds made by the Timeshare Resale Scam Companies.

They must wait for so long then when the customer is desperate, they make the scam offer.
I signed on with a company called TIMESHARE CONCEPTS 2 years ago. I recently received a call they have it sold if I mail$ 800.00 thru wal mart first! I could not verify that it is legitimate so did not send the money, luckily for me. so they must have a long list of people and when desperate enough, call and do the scam !! lucky for me the wal mart clerks warned me of all the scams that occur.
