Andrea Of Escape To Paradise Extremely pushy sales practices, they will take your money and you'll never hear from them Newport Beach California
After an unsolicited phone call in August 07 to sell my timeshare I was repeatedly called every night by Andrea until I showed some interest. I was told several untruths (they had an A on Better Business Bureau, they were actually given a C shortly after I paid) in an effort to get me to sell with them.
Andrea told me that she was "a good Christian woman who would never rip someone off" (not that I cared but what a load of bull....) among other pushy sales jargon.
It was effective in the moment because I was keen to sell my timeshare and after I convinced her to halve their going rate I thought it might be worth it.
I have not had a single phone call or email offer from them in the 12 months that they have had my "listing". Their initial price recommendation was so high I have called them to lower it 3 times.
I think I was slightly lucky in that I did not pay the full amount they were charging to sell it ($600) however, I am out $300 of my money and a year of wasted time.
DO NOT SELL, RENT OR TAKE ANY OFFERS OF YOUR TIMESHARE OR VACATION SHARE FROM THESE SCAMMERS.
A comment from another report shows that they have previously been listed in Florida under different Company names doing the same thing. They are scammers and I am an unlucky, taken in victim of their scam. DO NOT FALL TO THE SAME SCAM.
I have submitted them to the Better Business Bureau. They have a several complaints lodged there and a C rating.

We have fired this employee Andrea for her over the top aggressiveness...We do not stand for such behavior. Escape to Paradise has been in business for years and only keeps the top professionals in the industry...
