Don't send money to anyone if you are selling something. Why would you pay an advance fee to *sell* a property and then expect a refund?
Anytime you have an offer to sell your timeshare and you have to pay money, run away from the offer. The reason they tell you that they will refund the deposit is to make you feel better. It is a clear indication of a scam when they ask for upfront money with the intention to refund at a later date. Better yet, report them to the AG of your state.
It is a scam. There is no buyer. The contract is there to make it look official. Did they have you send the money via Western Union or some other untraceable way? That is a red flag too. NEVER SEND MONEY THAT IS UNTRACEABLE AND UNRECOVERABLE.
Don't be so anxious to give your money away.
