Scammed!!
By -

Let me tell ya that when REM called my wife and I about our timeshare they gave us one heck of sales pitch and boy were we suckered. An agent of REM called us and told us that they wanted to rent out our time share for us. The deal seemed really good. They even told us that as soon as we paid them the $1195.00 one time fee we would get a check overnighted for the entire amount of the rental assuring us that REM cannot take any money from the rental fee for any reason do to it being against the law.

We were told that we would get the check regardless if the timeshare rented today or next month. They told us that we could split the $1195.00 into two payments. They asked for a credit card or debit card number to make the payment. We okay'd a debit payment for $500.00. Within about two days my wife found "My 3 Cents" and when I read the complaints on REM I just about had a cardiac.

We googled REM and found their phone number to be a home phone. My wife and I immediately contacted our bank to stop the transaction do to the payment transaction not having been completed yet (I Love My bank) because our bank was checking REM out as well. We were unable to stop the transaction however our bank told us that when REM completes the transaction they would take legal action against REM for fraud. Yeah Baby!! And they did. The bank refunded our $500.00 and filed fraud charges against REM. Finally something being done about the REM scam artist.

Timeshare Advertising Ripoff
By -

KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA -- Resort Equity Marketing contacted me and I fell for their tale. I paid $450. Initially they wanted $875.00. I then withdrew my account and asked for credit. They then did so and re-established it in April. They had already recredited my account and I have not yet received the second credit approval. I called them every month and no one wanted to answer the call and kept leaving messages. When the so called Customer service supervisor spoke to me check this out he claimed that REM was an exclusive club and that my membership was expired. What a load.

They never sent me any information on my timeshare showing on what other media it was posted just only the web site. They said that the would advertise until sold. They offer ticket to fly any place in the world but when you claim the vouchers they want you to rent the highest price and make money off you. They are a big scam. They never contact you unless they want more money. If you call them to keep track of your sale they flag you in order that they won't make a mistake and call you again.

But with me they did and I caught on when I told them that I had already listed. The scam is that they will be going this week end to the convention center and there will be thousand of persons to promote your timeshare with. Sales person **. The Customer service **. and they will not get back to you. That are closed on the most busiest days for sale in Orlando Saturday when they know that the owner might show up at their door.

REM Resort Equity Marketing SCAM ARTISTS
By -

I had a similar experience with this outfit. They assured me that they could sell my timeshare in a matter of a couple months. They talked about all the marketing and exposure they would be getting at the different conventions that came to town. But after about a year now and several price reductions of my unit, I have not received a single phone call or email. Now they tell my ad is expired since I did not renew it every three months. $650.00 in the gutter. These guys are nothing more than lying thieves. They took my money and did nothing. Total fraud and I will pursue this until I get some sort of result. Either my unit sold or a refund.

Resort Equity Marketing - Scam!
By -

ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- My wife and I had signed up with REM to rent out our timeshare in Orlando since we could not be there every year at the same time. REM calls us telling us that they GUARANTEE the rental. They send us some literature saying that they send info to corporations, attend travel shows, etc... After 4 months, I sent an e-mail to them saying that I want some sort of proof that they are doing anything other than having our property listed on their website. Of course, I get nothing, other than a call from one of their flunkies telling me that they are in fact doing these things, but they can't show proof. What a scam!

They charge you $600-$700 guaranteeing that they will rent the property, which will cover the fees and plus some. Well, it will be 6 months after the end of March, and nothing at all from them. They say that if they don't come through that we will get 2 airline tickets, but I am sure that that will be a lie also! Lousy customer service, lousy company, period!

Happy with REM
By -

It took REM 63 days from the day I signed up with them to sell my timeshare. I did read some of the bad things on the internet just like you have. I own my business and I have found out that ANYONE CAN WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU!!!! I have had terminated employees write things that have hurt my business. I was very happy with the way REM handled everything. I am now timeshare free! No more maintenance fees!! No more hoping I can get to use the timeshare (because they always seem to be booked!) Thank you REM!!! I have sent other people to you!!!!

It worked for me
By -

WINTER PARK, FLORIDA -- After ready a complaint I couldn't believe what I read. For starters if that person would have kept in contact they would have received results. I was afraid to pay upfront but took the risk. I owned a timeshare in New Smyrna Beach and thought yeah right you can sell that. well guess what they did to my surprise within 65 days I was rid of it, not saying it was a bad place but money wise I could have stayed elsewhere. Now I don't own and made a good, very good profit. As in anything you try to sell keep abreast of what you are doing and you get results, **.

Scam In The Working
By -

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FLORIDA -- All I can say is "crap" I am feeling like I stepped in it. I was called by REM to rent my timeshare for me for a fee of $ 899.00. I was told I would have plenty of "bids" on my timeshare to choose from within 30 days my timeshare would be rented out no problems. I was even told I could get my $ refunded to me no questions asked. Well it has been over 30 days no offers, no answers on the telephone, no returned messages. No one will talk to me. Now what am I supposed to do to get my money back? Does anyone know the steps to take now? It's not like I can afford to lose this much money especially to a scam. I am so stupid for not researching this ahead of time. Now what?

Don't Get Scammed Too
By -

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FLORIDA -- We really needed to sell our time share due to financial difficulties. We received a call from REM and they had a great sales pitch and said we'd get a $1000 shopping spree if it didn't sell in 180 days. They wanted $800 for their fee but when I said I couldn't afford that they lowered it to $299 so I said yes. After they charged my credit card I never heard another word from them.

When I called to at least get some kind of proof that they marketed our property they said they couldn't do that. I never received any offers, nor did I get the $1000 shopping spree. This is a SCAM. All they want is money from you, whatever they can get. They offer no proof of anything they do for you. DON'T GET SCAMMED TOO!

Avoid!
By -

FLORIDA -- We had a financial difficulty in paying our bills last summer and were trying to find a way out of our time share. Conveniently enough the Resort Equity Marketing company called us wanting to help us sell our time share and vacations. The sales representative very confidently assured me that most properties sell within 30-90 days but if by chance none of them sold or leased, they were going to pay us back by giving us a $1000 shopping spree because they were so confident it would sell before then. So we had nothing to loose.

I called after every 90 days that we didn't hear anything and they "generously" extended my contract without charging me anything. I was spoken to so disrespectfully that most times I had to hang up to get the steam from coming out of my ears. Since it had been 7 months and I never even got an offer on a vacation or the renting of the time share I finally got the shopping spree which comes to find out that if you want to use it, you end up paying almost $400 in s/h fees to get your "free" gifts.

That is not compensation. They refuse to provide me with any traffic information as to how any people they are even marketing my property to. Now because I am so upset with the results they have terminated my contract all together and are no longer even "marketing" it and so I am out $1099. AVOID because they make hasty claims the cannot fulfill.

Do Your Research - It Has Saved Me $799
By -

A seller representative from Resort Equity Marketing (REM) has contact my husband and I several times offering to rent our two rooms deluxe village at a Liki Tiki. He said that the village is in a “hot spot” and that they have pre-qualified clients interested in pay from $2,600 - $2,800 FOR A WEEK. I thought that this is a too good to be true offer, so I start doing my research.

All the info about REM I found on the web is negative, many people has been scammed by them. So I was afraid to loose my money. I asked them to write a letter explaining what they said about to refund my $799.00 if they don't rent the village in 90 days and they reject. All the posts in this forum and many other sites reviewing REM has been very helpful to decide not to pay for that “service”. Thank you to all of you. Regards.
