Resort Equity Marketing Complaint - Don't Get Scammed Too - Timeshare Resales

Timeshare Resales - Complaint
Review by Kat418 on 2009-02-16
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!

Abstract from ORLANDO SENTINEL Dec 17, 2007

A local time-share resale company has agreed to pay nearly $100,000 to settle the state's investigation into a series of consumer complaints about its telemarketing practices, Florida legal officials said Monday. Altamonte Springs-based Equity Marketing Corp. -- doing business as Resort Equity Marketing -- will refund more than $50,000 to clients who complained that the company engaged in misleading telemarketing-sales pitches, according to the Office of Attorney General Bill McCollum.
