Dishonest Sales practices

This company has called me twice offering to rent my timeshare week for me at double the average online rental rate. They said they received my name and number from my timeshare group, Mayan Palace. They said they were authorized by them to rent these weeks. They asked for an initiation fee of $799 the first time. When I told them I had lost money in a scam corp. just like theirs they said Mayan Palace would pay down my initiation fee the money I lost to Resorts international Marketing Corp. They next time a new salesperson called, they said the fee was $899 but on special for $549. They claim Mayan Palace authorized their service. I confirmed with Mayan Palace today they do not authorize this company or make referrals to them or do any business with them. This company is using dishonest sales practices and the public should be warned as they may never see a rental for their initiation fee from a company who bold face lies.

I also have been contacted by The TimeShare Network sales personnel, They claim that Mayan Palace had given them my information. They are buying information somewhere as they have my mobile number but old information about what I own. I suspect they got the information from Resorts International who burned me several years ago. I asked them to email me information and the offer looks like the Resorts International offer.

I got a call from someone named Melinda Williams who talks really fast and said she was calling from "The TimeShare Network" and kept mentioning about Mayan Palace is their affiliate program.

It looked kind of supicious when she sent me infomation about the offer by using her dot mac address. If a company dealing with millions of dollars, how could a representative having a home-brew email address...then I did a Google search of the 1-877-781-2352 phone number, and found the complaints on this wonderful website, www.complaintsboard.com.

Never trust anyone on the phone...ask for documents in black & white sent to you by mail, and spend time to do your own research. Don't learn it the HARD way!!!

I did learn it the hard way. "Melinda" leterally hounded me to list my time share. Called me numerous times on my land line and tracked me down on my cell at all hours. I gave into the pressure. After several months I called the toll free number.I got a recorded message saying that it was something called a Marketing Group and I should leave a message. I called the regular listed number and nobody answered the call.Iam beginning to wonder if the company even exists. By the way the welcoming letter was signed by a "Luke Anthony, President". I wish there are legal ways to go after these so called Time share Resale and rental companies. Comments welcome.

Thanks for the tip and postings. As a timeshare owner in the Mayan arena I am always hoping that someone is going to rescue my bad investment. I love the resorts but wouldn't it be great if someone
rented your weeks and you made a tidy profit? That is the bait...remember we are not that lucky..
Melinda just called me and I checked her out. I found this useful information..

My call was from "Phyllis" and I took them up on their offer to the tune of $349.00 to sell or rent my Vegas timeshare. That was in July. Today, I check the Discountweeks website and my timeshare was not listed (as promised) under the Vegas site. I called the # listed and talked with a lady who assured me that the problem would be corrected. We'll see. It's too bad that people can't be trusted.

I totally disagree with the comments listed. The Timeshare Network rented my condo in 12 weeks after I signed up! I received a call first just like they said and within 3 days I had my rental check in hand. They were very professional the whole entire time that I was on the phone, never did they steer me wrong, I have my check to prove it. Great going !!!

I want to thank The Timeshare Network they called me too, but at first I was hesitant and I figured what the heck, what do I have to loose nothing really, my main concern was to get it rented and yes they did it for me also, I received a call on a friday to confirm that I was not using my timeshare they called the resort made reservation and within the week I had my check, not only was I plesantly surprised by their courteous and professional way that they dealt with me and my husband. They rented my condo, I received my check and I will do business with them again.
