I would like to say thank you for reporting that this is one in the same company. Now I will also call the Attorney Generals office and inform that myself and other people have been ripped off by this company.

I also have reported this company to the Attorney General Office in Florida and the Federal Trade Commission. I also contacted my credit card company and filed a dispute for the charge of $1598.00. Today I got a reference number from the FTC and an email for more info. Together we can stop this company from scamming other people!

Samantha at Prestige Timeshare Marketing contacted my wife by phone the day after I filed this report. My wife clearly instructed Samantha that she would need to speak with me. She was given my cell phone number. Samantha did not try to contact me until Mon. Nov. 26. I returned her call the next day. Isn't it amazing that she offered me a 3 day 2 night vacation at a Resort down in Florida. With her permission, I recorded our conversation. I declined the offer and attempted to explain to her the problem that I was already having with Prestige. When I proceeded to ask her why David Harris or Justice Bernard did not return my call, she stated that they no longer work for Prestige. The time frame she gave me must to have been the minute after they got out of the meeting on Nov. 19th. I informed her that I had filed a report with the Attorney General office there in Florida. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes after the first conversation, Samantha called me again. I also was given permission by her to record our conversation. She asked if returning my $1,598.00 would settle the issue. I explained to her that she could do whatever she wanted to do and that I was going to pursue whatever avenues I need to get what was promised to me by Presitge. Stay tuned for Step three.

I know what each and everyone of you are going through and yes they are liars. Your timeshares were not sold and there were never any buyers. This is all instructed by the owner. I'm very sorry for all he has put you through and if you leave a nuber I would be more than happy to contact you with further information.

Prestige Timeshare marketing is a fully licensed and bonded For-Sale-By-Owner timeshare marketing and advertising company. We are not a real estate broker and we never claim to be such. The advertising program involves mass-marketing to other sellers/renters to maximize exposure to potential buyers or renters. Prestige Timeshare marketing advertises our customers' properties until they sell and we charge no renewal fees or additional costs at the time of sale, nor do we accept a commission for helping the customer sell their property. Within twenty four hours of signing up with our company, the customers' property is posted to our inventory, at which point, our services are rendered. When a prospective buyer makes an offer on a particular property, we forward that offer to the seller, at which point, the seller may accept or reject the offer and proceed accordingly. It is not uncommon for the sale of a property to be in the works, and for one reason or another, not follow through to closing. In this case there was a doctor, from Venezuela, and he was interested in buying not just this property in our inventory, but several properties. He never showed up for the closing. We investigated the situation, and the doctor had been arrested. Needless to say, he was no longer interested in following through with the purchase of these properties. I know that these customers are disappointed, as are we. Unfortunately, these things happen. The bottom line is that no property sells overnight. In fact it is extremely difficult to sell timeshares, which is exactly why the company exists; to help individuals advertise their property using professional, mass-marketing techniques, in order to provide the customer with the exposure and visibility their property needs, to get it sold. We stand by our service and we are so sure that the service we provide is the best, that if a customer is able to sell their property, with-in 25% of their asking price, either on their own, or through another service, we will refund their marketing fee, in full. We will keep marketing all of the properties in our inventory, and we will do so because we know that the only way to get anything sold, is to advertise.
