Complaint Review: American Timeshare Marketing

Mid February 2008 I received a call from American Timeshare Marketing to sell my Timeshare. The man said they had a great company model that worked. For 2000 dollars I was basically assured to sell my timeshare, but I was skeptical. The redeeming factor was that he said he could take 300 up front and I could pay the rest when they sold it. In the beginning of March my wife received a call about the timeshare selling. We were so excited that we had no problem paying the company the rest of the money. But one and a half weeks later when I called to check on things, the answering machine on their phone was full. I held on to hope for another week, but then I knew it was all a scam. Jessica, the woman who said I had a buyer for my timeshare, her cell phone is now disconnected. It looks bad for me and my wife, who unfortunately made big plans for the money.
