CNC Timeshares LLC C & C Global Enterprises LLC Fraud and Deception from CNC Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
This is one big rotten scam of a company and it needs to be stopped.
The company contacts anyone that owns a timeshare and says they can sell it for a fee. They charge as much as $2500 or as little as $400. The fee is not to sell anything it is supposedly to market and advertise your timeshare, until it sells.
If they were honest and told clients or would be clients the success ratio that their marketing and advertising program has not one person would fall prey to thier fast talking thieves/telemarketers.
If you take the time to really look into the company you will wonder how they are perpetrating the degree of fraud they are perpetrating. It is all smoke and mirrors. First of all they have not been in business in the Ft. lauderdale area for almost 4 years. They have been in business in Ft. lauderdale for less than 2 years. The don't even have a telemarketing license to operate out of Ft. lauderdale. I was valid out of Port Orange Florida as of March 2010.
They claim to have only eleven complaints with over 10,000 clients. Why don't they count the complaints that C&C Global Enterprises LLC had before they started doing business in Ft. lauderdale 2 years ago. The BBB is allowing them to claim only 11 complaints in the last 36 months. That is what they have had since being open in Ft. lauderdale.
If you look into the company you will see that they operate out of a little warehouse type office across the street from the old Florida Stockade/jail on powerline rd.
The events that they are involved with to market peoples timeshares are business networking events and have no relevance to marketing timeshare to qualified buyers. That is because they are almost all with the South East Florida Chamber and the Broward County Chamber. Those are the same chambers that they give as referals to trick people that own timeshare into trusting them and paying ridiculous fees to advertise at those events!
Why don't they have a list of peoples properties that were rented or sold through their marketing. They don't, because there are none. Ask them for a list of people that have sold or rented their property through their marketing efforts. They know better then to push the envelope because that is something that can be legally proven or disproven. There is no way they want to be exposed.
Martin P. is their advertising executive and says that when someone signs up for a free timeshare drawing that they are a buyer inquirie! Thats right at the events they hold they have a raffle for a free cruise or a free timeshare. If a person signs up for the raffle they count that as a verifiable buyer inquirie!
Look at the fact that they have only been accredited by the bbb since 2009 in South Florida and the carribean. If they were really in business since august 2006 why did they wait until 2009 to finally get accredited. Why are all of the positive reviews in the last year and a half as well. Don't be suprised at what you will find out regarding this firm when you do a little digging. Go to cnctimesharescam.com to find out more.

Stating the Facts
#2UPDATE Employee
Wed, July 28, 2010
First of all I wish to identify myself as the Marketing Director of CNC Timeshares. I wish to take this opportunity to respond to the allegations made in this "Rip Off" report. I would like to clarify that the individual making these allegations is not a client of CNC Timeshares so therefore I do not believe he has any standing to file a report. In fact he is a former employee that was terminated for unethical conduct. His business practices did not live up to the standards that we hold our agents to. As a result of his termination he promised to "ruin the company". After he was terminated he broke into our office and attacked our 70 year old woman receptionist and threatened to strangle a co-worker. He is currently incarcerated in the Broward County Jail charged with Felony Battery on the Elderly.
In response to his unsubstantiated allegations, we in fact have executive office space in the Powerline Business Center. Yes, we are proud members of several Chambers of Commerce and take our social responsibility very seriously. Does anyone really believe that major Chambers of Commerce would lie or put their reputations in jeopardy for any member organization? I don't think so. We are very active in all of their events. As a matter of fact our association with those Chambers and participation in their events has in fact yielded a great number of highly qualified prospective renters and buyers of timeshare. We not only attend these events but also have participated in various Travel Expos around the country. At these events we do offer incentives for people to consider timeshare. That's marketing 101. However, at these live events we do have an opportunity to engage these prospective renters and buyers face to face. We have an opportunity to qualify each prospect. As of today we are currently processing 1009 inquiries which we have recently received from our Call Center, Live Events and Online submissions. As of today we have processed roughly 1/3 of those inquiries and have successfully matched over 140 inquires with timeshare owners in our inventory. This information was not available to the person making these allegations.
We have a comprehensive multimedia advertising & marketing program. We are on Clear Channel Radio AM/FM. We are currently producing a new cable television ad to be aired starting in August 2010. We have both regional and national events throughout the year, both Chamber and non-chamber events. We focus our ads to reach the traveling public and we are receiving a good response. Even in today's difficult economy it more important than ever to advertise and market your timeshare to get the maximum exposure to the most qualified prospective renters and buyers.
In fact we are licensed and bonded with the State of Florida at our office in Fort Lauderdale.
All of these facts are accurate and verifiable. Yes it is a matter of public record that we have a total of 11 complaints with the BBB, all of which have been successfully resolved. When you consider that we have had over 11,000 clients that equates to a 99.9% satisfaction ratio. It's very unfortunate that one disgruntled employee is allowed to make unsubstantiated allegations with no supporting documentation.
