Hi, IMG is Fraud. DO NOT WOrk with them.
Received a letter from the Attorney General today as a follow up to my complaint, I encourage you to also contact them and receive the same letter/packet.
Doesn't mean you'll get your money back - best path there is to contact your credit card's dispute/fraud team and decline the charges. If you paid by check i think you should be able to work with the bank - but not sure on that one.

IMG Finance Sale of my timeshare

Unsolicited phone call from Chris Powell (at IMG) saying he had a buyer for my timeshare for $15k, would I accept this amt. Of course. Then he went into his speal about closing costs, Title search, attourney fees etc. at $1492. I would recoup this at the time of sale plus any other costs I had with anyother timeshare resaler. It sounded good, too good to be true. Another company to watch out for is Premier Timeshare Solutions. Same tactics, same result-----your loss.

I was contacted by this company via telephone. They had a firm offer of $14, 000 for my timeshare in Fort Lauderdale that I know is worth 500! All I had to do was allow them to debit my VISA for $ 1427.00. BE CAREFUL of these scam artists!

I have also been scammed by IMG..$1827. They took my money from my debit account on 2/9/10. Has anyone been able to get a refund? I have a complaint with the state, but they don't really seem very responsive.

I have been contacted by IMG finance as well. Same scam- they have a buyer ready who is willing to pay $20, 000 and all i have to do is give them by credit card for 1428 for a "title search". Like they couldn't just call bluegreen and confirm.

This guy even spit out some phone license #. This is one of the most bold calls I have received, please avoid and do not give any money!

I also got a call from IMG Finance about a month ago, and was talking to ? Some generic name like Bill Johnson (sorry if there are any Bill Johnson's actually reading this) and were going to get me circa $22, 000 in a matter of months as the unit was already getting offers, and would only need to be listed with them to sell... of course they also needed those $1, 428 fee up front. I told him that I had already been close to getting burned a few years back, but got my money(yup actually gave them money the first time... idiot!) when I read in the contract that I could cancel the transaction if I submitted a written letter within 5-7 work days of going forward with sale. They tried to say that they had told me up front that I couldn't cancel once I gave them the money, but their contract said something other than that. I emailed them due to not having enough time to actually get them a written letter through snail mail, and then called them up saying that I wanted to speak to a manager. They were so arrogant that they would pretty much mock me when I came back with "we'll see about this"!
I took it to my credit card company with all the facts, and do YOU KNOW WHAT... I GOT ALL MY MONEY BACK! THANK YOU VERY MUCH VISA!
Oh they then called me back to threaten me that I would either give them their money back, or I could expect to be taken to court... HAH! Told them to go right ahead!
Didn't hear a thing from them so don't be afraid to stand up for yourself as long as you do it quickly... and I do repeat that... MOVE QUICKLY IF THEY GOT YOUR MONEY!
I got another call today from a Mike Anderson(generic) from International Financing & Marketing Group. The number came up [protected] (Boca Raton, Florida) but they gave me [protected] as his callback number. Google it and it came back as a number used by this IMG Finance scam.
This guy though sounded a lot more believable than a lot of them except that he still got your info wrong, and needed for you to tell him about your Timeshare. I toyed with him as it is just obvious to me that it's the same deal, but he came back and said that they don't require the $1, 400 up front, but get it from the buyer. He finally gave way when I told him my knowledge of those from IMG Finance trying to get my money using a generic name, and offering huge amounts of money for me to sell. He chucked to, and said that he would get back to me on the offer... YEAH RIGHT!
I'm sure they will call back after some time as they are totally unethical!

I AGREE, I TOO WAS SOLICITED BY IMGFINANCE.COM
(PRETTY WEBSITE WITH NOTHING ABOUT THE COMPANY!)
OFFERED ME $15, 100 RIGHT OFF THE BAT! THEY HAVE A BUYER! ALL I HAVE TO DO IS GIVE THEM MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND WILL BE BILLED $1428, (GOOD FAITH MONEY, TO BE PUT IN ESCRO, UNTIL MY TIMESHARE IS SOLD). THEN AFTER RECEIVING A CHECK FOR $16, 525.00 (REFUND OF MY GOOD FAITH MONEY) I WOULD HAVE 30 DAYS TO ACCEPT THE CHECK OR CANCEL THE TRANSACTION! NOW WHY WOULD I WANT TO CANCEL THE TRANSACTION! AMAZING HOW THEY ALWAYS HAVE A BUYER FOR SUCKERS! WHAT YOU WILL GET IS DOZENS OF CALLS FROM MIKE MORRIS OR SOME OTHER GUY IN THE COMPANY TELLING YOU HOW GREAT THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 7 YEARS. ALL I COULD GET FROM THE 5 PHONE NUMBERS THEY CALLED ON, IS THAT THEY ARE UNLISTED, LAND LINES, IN BOCA RATON, FLORIDA! THEY WANT ALL YOUR INFORMATION FIRST, WITHOUT GIVING YOU ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR COMPANY, EXCEPT YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT US ON THE INTERNET. YOU WILL NOT FIND AN ADDRESS AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY INFORMATION UNTIL YOU GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER. THEY HAVE GREAT PHONE NUMBERS SOMEWHERES IN FLORIDA LIKE [protected] or 6840 or 41, or 41. AHHH, SOME SUGAR SWEETNER, THE PERSONEL TOUCH, YOU CAN CALL ME ON MY CELL AT [protected]! GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION AND THEY WILL LIST THAT RESORT ON THEIR WEB SITE MAKING IT LOOK BETTER AND BETTER, FOR THE NEXT RIP OFF VICTUM!

I also received a call from Chris Powell at IMG yesterday, same speel about the $1428 closing costs refundable at closing and when I asked for his credentials he got very quiet. Then I asked him if he was going to send the contract he mentioned he said well yeah, I guess so. I told him I was on a limited budget and didn't have alot of money to put up front. Why can't they just deduct their fee at closing from the proceeds is my quesiton. That's what any reputable lawyer does when you buy a home.

Totally agree! I recently received a call from IMG. They stated they had my timeshare sold for a ridiculous amount and only needed $1428 and it would take 90 days. The guy didn't even have the right name for my timeshare company. How did he sell my timeshare when he doesn't have the name right?

I did some intense googling and found that their employees are going around to numerous blogs posting fake positive testimonials. You always know its them because they are new signups with only 1 or two posts, and normally located in Florida. Don't give them any money ever! Just get all the info you can and report to Florida BBB.

IMG Finance unsolicited phone calls

Got yet another unsolicited phone call from a company wanting my money in order to sell a timeshare. Once you get onto this merry-go-round your name goes into a database (subject: sucker) and the calls continue to annoy and aggravate. This slant was new because they claimed to be a finance company handling "the sale of your timeshare". But what soon follows is a pitch for upfront money ($1492!) for the typical assortment of unfulfilled promises: title search and closing documents. Since it is unlawful for any real estate broker to charge upfront money, anyone who calls you saying they will your timeshare but require upfront fees is scamming you and you should hang up promptly.

Hey 'taken4aride*again'--
You are not alone! You are not the first or last to be unwittingly taken advantage of by these unscrupulous companies. Even if our banks and credit card companies don't have our backs, our collective voice has muscle over these solicitous upfront fee scoundrels. The roar of our displeasure heard through blogs like Complaints Board and Timeshare Users Group will resonate with the oversight agencies, and the general public who have yet to be fleeced!
Keep the faith,

I have been convinced that several companies were going to help me get out from under the timeshare I bought. Paying upfront fees was not comfortable for me, but they convinced me that they would help get my monies back from the other companies that did not fulfill their contract. I was told there was a buyer in their office, but to secure the contract, I would have to pay. Then after the payment, the buyer changed mind. I was unable to get a refund.

I was just contacted by a Glenn Porter [license # tc3533- yeah right] of IMG, he claimed to have a buyer for our timeshare and needed $1, 428.00 for title search and litagation cost. He asked me to pay this cost on a credit card without seeing one document or something to confirm the deal, I am so glad that I did not fall for the scam. Than he had the nerve to ask me to send him either champaign or a house plant for his birthday on Dec.12th. These people will go to any length to scam people out of thier money. Buyers beware, if it sounds to good to be true; it is. Do not be hodwink by IMG or anyone else who claim they have a buyer for your time share. You should never have to pay any up front or out of pocket expenses to sell a time share. There should be a way to prosecute these companies for their unerhanded practices.
