Premier Timeshare Solutions review: Time Share Re-Sale Scam 54

I have paid them money for the sale of my timeshare and they have not sent the contract for the sale that was promised to me at the end of December. Help!

The DOJ caught up with the people at Premier. See the indictments here.

Don't try to call any of the companies/numbers that are given that say they will be able to get your money back due to all the scams from the TimeShare companies, these are Fraudulent as well. They get the credit card companies to put a temporary credit on your credit card. Once they have done that they consider that as close enough to having your money back and take what ever percentage you have agreed to at that time, even if the credit card company later decides that there's not enough evidence to overturn the fraudulent company. Scamed by the Timeshare, don't be scamed by the phony lawyers, etc. They are probably the same companies!

for help recovering these funds call 561.715.5942

Well Mr Big bob1945. Your really something. and if you condone actions by these theives as you seem to be doing then I have to agree with the other 99.99% of victims of this company that you are either on their payroll, a close relative with financial intrests being paid as bonuses to you, which puts you in the same catagory as those we know are theives, or you are just a plain idiot. This company Premier scams over $100, 000.00 per day admitted by past employees. This has been documented and has force this fraudulen t company to close its doors. Of course once a thief always a thief. They have changed their name and are still scamming inocient victims and this is alright with you? if so then this message proves it. I don't know how you sleep at night. Get your fact straight before you open your mouth and put your foot in it. People are suffering from this scam, why do you thionk there are so many complaints all staqting the very same problem, wake up.

Back in June of 09 Premier Timeshare Soluitions contacted me about selling my timeshare for the sum of 18, 500 dollars. Thay also told me that there would be a 1888.54 deposit for title check and legal fees. After 5 months of being lied to about the sale of my timeshare. Whithay were goch was any thing from the prospective buyer having to return the docts to the buyer owning their own buissness and the bank having to approve the loan because of owning their own buissness thay finnaly told me that the buyers loan fell through because one of the buyers had just lost their job. Well this didn't really computen with what thay had already told me about their owning their own buissness HOW DO YOU LOOES YOUR JOB if you own it! well today I was contacted by one of their people in the processing department telling me that Premir Timeshare soluitions had gone out of buisness and that thay were contacted by the florida attourney generals office to refund my money thay also wanted me to give them my credit card # to verify that I did not give this to them and started to ask questions at this time and thay hung up on me I then called to Preimer Timeshare Soluitions and left a nasty message and at about 2:25 pm pacfic standard time I recived another call from a Mike Reese at Premire Timeshars Soluitions to conferm my suspisions DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! this is another scam! Thanks for reading and hope no one else has to deal with what im going through

I spoke with a representative yesterday and toady Howard Ducombe [protected] who stated that the office was closed and would not be open until Monday February 1, 2010. He will then try to get our monies refunded and I am giving him until Monday since we signed a waiver to authorize the charge on our account. BUT I am calling the cc company to let them know our situation and get their legal advise of how this will need to be handled. I hope we get our money refunded and this gentleman is honest and not like the ones I have dealth with in the past in this industry.

I know the lawyer who worked on the by-laws and helped set up timeshare contract law with RCI... In the beginning of this timeshare industry years ago. I plan to contact him again and the Attorney General's office here in Georgia as well. I spent two years putting sales organizations out of business that practices these tactics of deception and robbing people of their money with their lies... and theft practices. These give the timeshare industry a bad name! We have enjoyed our timeshares and wanted to pass this on to others who could keep on enjoying them with families like we had. Nice vacations for families with reasonable accommodations.

I wanted to see my comments from yesterday but have not sen them and hope this one gets in this time. MAB - (2) email

DO NOT, I REPEAT, NOT USE THIS COMPANY IN ANY WAY! YOU WILL BE SCAMMED OUT OF YOUR MONEY. BETTER TO TAKE IT TO A CASINO...THE ODDS ARE BETTER!
These people pretend to be friendly-as-a-banker towards you but are instead thieves. After many promises, phone calls - all documented - dates given as to when we could expect to see final papers, etc. nothing has materialized and NOW, their phones are disconnected! I will be contacting the Florida BBB about this and see if something can be done via the Attorney General's office.

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN SCAMMED FROM PREMIER MAY BE ABLE TO GET THERE MONEY BACK. YOU HAVE TO CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY ABOUT THE CHARGES. THIS COMPANY IS A BIG SCAM AND THEY ARE NO LONGER OPEN. THEY HAVE CLOSE DOWN. tHEY STAYED IS BUSSINESS LONG ENOUGH TO GET A FEW MILLION AND THEY CLOSED DOWN.

This company is a scam and they have closed down now. I worked for this company for a week because i thought they were scaming people but i was never sure. this company is no longer open. So if you gave them money you may never get it back

We had a very similiar experience. They contacted us, told us they had buyers for our condos. We were very excited because we had been trying to sell our timeshares for years. When the timeframe that they gave us came and went, we could not contact them. Later on, we were contacted by a person with the company wanting us to commit even more money to "seal the deal" We could not afford any more money so we never heard from them again. Wish they could be put our of business

We have had the same experience. I started calling all of the numbers that people left on this site, just to see what would happen. I came up with all 'full mail boxes'. I got one person who answered. He said hello, clear as can be, then when I asked if he was from premeir time share, he said oh, me no speaka english. I said yes you do, and one of your buddy's ripped me off. He said bye now, and hung up. I hope these ### rot in hell! I have 4 kids and Christmas is right around the corner. As for the person going to Palm Beach Fl., I'm right there with you...I'd like to hunt these son's a bit*#'s down like rabid dogs. I don't know how they sleep at night!

OMG! liars and thieves they are! Premier contacted us in February of this year also, and said they had a buyer for our timeshare that was willing to pay a little over double what we paid. We had already listed with a realtor, and we should have stayed with her. We paid her $600.00 and she was going to try to get us around $19, 000(we paid just over $11, 000). We were skeptical at first and then they told us that they would be able to get our $600 back from the realtor if we listed with them because they had the power to do that. They sent us an agreement and we signed. Then we paid them $2500.00 for their lawyer to do a search for liens and judgments. There never seemed to be any problems contacting them, except for the fact that we were the only ones keeping the communication open. They never called or emailed or updated us on anything. We had to keep calling them. Then when we finally talked to someone, they said that the buyer needed an extension because their credit wasn't good. Then we called again, and they needed another extension. Then again...they found another buyer who put down a deposit and to expect an agreement or contract with this new buyer by tuesday of "next week", which was almost 2 months ago! Those ###S sure didn't waste any time sending out the agreement when they wanted their dirty fee money. My husband tried for almost 2 months straight to call and all of a sudden they weren't available, the mailbox is full, it was busy... 2 days ago I called and got no answer, so i just kept hitting redial until someone picked up. I spoke to a man and voiced my complaint and told him that we wanted our $2500 back and he said we couldn't because the contract said" if it takes longer than 120 days, the marketing fee will be refunded upon closing". I told him to take it off the market. He then told me that there never was anyone that put a deposit down, only people who were interested. So I hung up. Not even 30 minutes later I got a call from COASTAL PREMIER VACATIONS asking about our timeshare and if we wanted to list it. I said we already have a company working with us and he asked who, I said it was Premier, and he said "oh they are a company that produces for its customers. Thats a real good company, but unfortunately, we can't interfere if they are already working with you". I called Premier back and asked their affiliation and the same guy said they were not related to that company and he would get our agreement expidited to us. IF NOBODY PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN, HOW THE F!@# CAN HE SEND US AN AGREEMENT?!?!?

So I kept redialing and got customer service a woman named Myrtle, who seemed to have more info and was surprised when she found out that nobody had called us to let us know the 2nd buyer fell through, and that they didn't have an email because some former employees hacked into their computers and stole account information (they were probably victims trying to get their hard earned money back) and they didn't have a website either... the website that I just found not 20 minutes ago, along with my listed timeshare. Today I got a call from Gary at TS Luxury Group, another Timeshare marketing company. saying a family put down a deposit and thats all he knew... then why the hell call if u have no info? He was slamming Premier and stuttering and gave me a website that he seemed to just whip out of his back pocket ~~~wptvchannel5.com~~~ a news report on Premier, but look out for this slick ### too. its no coincidence that all these timeshare places would call in 2 days after our confrontation with Premier. Gary also mentioned that they think Premier is in the process of changing their name ~~Coastal Premier Vacations~~~ which would explain why nobody can contact them, by phone or computer...TS Luxury is based out of Florida too. Their phone # is [protected] and their Director of Finances is Mike Laventis or somethihng like that. Gary didn't know how his last name was spelled or pronounced...hhhmmmmm?. TSLuxuryGroup.com

WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND GO REAL PUBLIC WITH ALL THIS SO NOBODY GETS DUPED AGAIN!

you better believe that as soon as the sun comes up I will start calling and keep calling until some kind of resolution is reached. I'm half tempted to take a vacation to Palm Beach Gardens, Fl.

Hey all,

Thanks for the heads up. Got a call from Julie at COASTAL PREMIER today. They have been calling my cell phone which I do not regularly give out and so screen heavily (and also have on the federal no call list). After the last attempt I googled the phone number, found this thread and was ready today when she called back today. the call went something like this:

Julie: Hi this is Julie from Coastal Premier.

Me: Oh Hi Julie. I am glad you called. Coastal Premier, that used to be Premier Timeshare Solutions right? I know this because when I entered your phone number into google after the last time you called it showed me that this is nothing more than a scam and that you are taking money from good people left and right under false and predatory pretenses. As you are calling on a phone that is listed with the Federal No Call List, I tell you what: If you take my name off your list and NEVER call back, I will not turn you into the Federal Authorities. It sounds like you have enough problems with the Attorney Generals already.

Julie: Uhm. . . Ok. Bye.

ROFL! Made my day. I hope it makes yours too!

Beware! This company is now calling itself COASTAL PREMIER. The caller will give you a license number and you will get a call back to verify everything so that you are convinced that everything is kosher. This is not true. When checking on line with the Florida Licensing Commission, there is no individual license as was given, nor is there a license for "Coastal Premier". It was only after searching that I finally tied it to Premier Timeshare Solutions, which is how they have attempted to charge my card. I got suspicious, and have already prevented the charge by a charge back. Do not do business with these people. I tried to research them on the BBB before doing business, but they have become crafty by changing their name. Be alert.

Well, my husband and I have also been robbed...they advertise how truthful they are...isn't that also false advertisement.

I also was told we have someone that wanted our place and funny today I was told that because hard times fell on these people the finance company felt they were to risky to give them a loan...I asked for our money back and I was told they can't give me the money back until they have another buyer and the deal closes. They also will not give you any info as to who does their title searches or even proof that they did a title search...I can't believe we were that stupid to fall for this...I saw a complaint here and contacted the news reporter in Florida...I was given a few places to file a complaint

Florida Attorney General
Florida's Dept of Agriculture & Consumer Services
The Southeast Florida BBB...(which Premier has an "F" rating!)
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office
The Palm Beach Gardens Police Dept
The West Palm Beach Police Dept

EVERYONE has to file a claim again this company and ALL these types of companies should be shut down and our money returned and the owners thrown in jail for fraud

You can get your money back from this company and other timeshare resale scammers with help from www.ResaleRipoffs.com.

Our Channel 5 TV News did at story on this company. It was aired on the 11:00 news last night, Thursday, 10/01/2009. It's a scam company. They are asking people that have been scammed to contact them. This company is bringing in over a million a month according to the news report. You all might want to look at the story on the WPTV website. I'm so sorry for the people that lost money to this company. My sister owns a time share that she wants to sell. I sent her this site as well, as a warning. I'm sure there are other companies pulling this scam as well. http://www.wptv.com/content/investigative/story/Premier-Timeshare-Solutions-WPTV/zxP1fRxKSk-E9_iMjSzKOQ.cspx

if it is too good to be true...

What is the best recourse, legal or otherwise to recoup our money?
What is the best way to sell a timeshare? through local papers? and how shoud the ad be phrased.

I don't want to be scammed again but I do want to sell my timeshare.

Thanks, Larry J.

WOW! I can not believe I am reading all this. I also received a phone call earlier this week from Premier and they explained they were a listing company and that if they found someone looking for what I was trying to sell they would match us up and call me with their offer. This afternoon I received a phone call from a a man, whose name I will leave out, making a offer for my time share $1, 500 over my highest asking price. I was SOOOO EXCITED!
When I realized I had not given important details I knew they must need to sell I asked if they needed to know for certain which week I owned the exact size of my unit? "He said it shouldn't make a difference!" I was thinking WHAT? Now I start to get suspicious! I asked if I would have to come up with money upfront He explained that All I would have to pay is $1300 that would be refunded when we sold the property and when I ask for something in writing he said he couldn't do that till I committed to the offer! I asked for his contact info and told him I needed to talk to my husband about it. I am so glad he told me to look into the company on the internet!

I am so greatful this information is here. I received a call last evening in regards to a time share I have wanting to know if I would be interested in selling. As with all the other scenarios the agent gave me spiel about having a buyer and they'd pay top dollar. I listened to the deal. Part of me was taken the other part of me didn't trust what was being said. The worst part is that I am single and very niave. I gave the information on the condo and while this person took his 5 minutes to contact the buyer, I took the time to call my father. He agreed with me in regards to not trusting what was said. We both did some research, and found this website of negative reports. I reported this company as well and hope something gets done.
Where is the "government" when it comes to these scams? In this economy I can not believe people can be so ruthless and scamming innocent people who have worked so hard to have what they have. This country is becoming a disgrace and it's because of companies like this.

Interesting how in a few days the story changes. Promises to sell your timeshare in 4-6 weeks, the contract they later send reads full refund if not sold within 120 days but that refund will not occur until the property sells . The direct connect phone numbers stop being answered or go directly to voicemail or an error message. If you happen to get a response as I did to the above Ramses Lopez [protected], the person asked who I was looking for, When I said Premier Timeshare he said his name was Kenneth and quickly disconnected.We have also contacted WPTV channel 5, shannon cake, investigative reporter. Needless to say we have file a fraud appeal with our credit card.
The numbers don't work out 30 days for a 50 state title search(which is supposedly the justification for the cc authorization), Then 30 days in finance, 10 business days for the "preapproved buyer with 20%down" to get financing with their west coast office, which one representative said was Wachovia(The wells fargo/wachovia representive I spoke to said that their bank does not call anything like I was describing as a finance dept.There is a separate finance group bought by Wachovia years ago out of California but because of client records he couldn't answer any futher questions and rightly referred me to my own lender not the premier timeshare "supposed finance partner" Anyways after the buyer has 10 business days it comes back to us, with 2 check attached, and a promise that there legal dept will recoup all other monies sent to other marketing companies in the past. NOT LOOKING GOOD. Perhaps good news will cross in the mail but I'm not holding my breath...Try the www.premiertimesharesolutions.com website to see the "quality marketing" and try the [protected] . Remember the run around starts after they have YOUR $$$$$$$$$.

We were contacted by a Roger Taylor [protected] & Ramses Lopez [protected] today from Premier Timeshare Solutions [protected]. They also said they had a buyer for out Atlantic City timeshare that would pay us well over twice what we paid for it 5 years ago, but would need to put down $1300.00. It was tempting, but I did tell them I needed to to some research on their company first! Gald I did. Don't fall for this scam! The Better Business Bureau gives them an F rating. Go to the BBB before you give them any money...this proves further that they are SCAMMERS!

It's surprising that Premier is still at this. I received a call from Premier over the weekend. The woman asked about details of my timeshare in Atlantic City (size of the unit, week, deed, etc.) and said that her supervisor would follow up if they found a buyer. A few days later the supervisor (who sounded like the original caller) called to let me know they had a buyer. Once she told me the selling price ($28, 000), I knew I smelled fish. She explained how the buyer couldn't back out, etc. and advised me that I would be responsible for the title search. She seemed nervous and unsure of herself, so I told her to mail me the information and I would be happy to go forward. She hung up on me.

Hello all. I worked for this company for months and feel i need to help you all. You are all right this is a big scam and they are stealing your money. There are no buyers who want to purchase your unit. they are just saying that to get your cc# they will never list or sell your unit. call your credit card company and charge back. also here is the information for WPTV channle 5 new here in wpb, FL. this lady is gathering info on them to shut them down.

I wish you all good luck. i'm sorry i ever worked there..

I have gotton the same phone call and was told I could get in contact with a Jennifer Johnson anytime. I even was given three phone numbers but none of them get any results. I believe I have been scammed and for the person who says they did sell thier rimeshare thriugh Preimier Timeshare Solutions, You should thank the good lord and count your blessings because if I should sell mine I will definitley be counting mine and I will also coment on how they did a good job selling it. BUT until that happens I am not holding my breath. To all you other folfs out there with time shares, if it sounds too good to be true it IS. There is a company I contacted who will help you get your money back from these scammers, it's Omega Tours and if you want more information contact Chris Wood at [protected].

WARNING: STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! I was contacted this company many times over the last few months to try to get me to sale my time share. Of course I was very cautious because I had already used a company before last year to try to sell my TM, but nothing happened but lost $800. So when they called me, I was like yeah yeah...but they persisted. And today, a guy named KENT AVERY called to tell me that they found a buyer for my TM. The buyer was already qualified and ready was serious, all I had to do was accept the offer (which was even higher than I listed)! So I told him that i wanted to see the contract and requested a copy. In the meantiime, I did my research on this company and found this website. Thank god, because I knew it was too good to be true! He later sends me a copy of VOIDED contract, which was nothing more than an application. So I called him back and asked about the process and he told me that I would have to pay about $1300 for the title search which I asked him before and he said that there wouldn't be any out of pocket fees at all. Anyway, I was expecting this now since I've read everyone's experience. So I told him that I've done some research on his company and had found a lot of negative remarks on it and gave him a chance to defend himself. In response, he gave me some BS it's because Premier Timeshare Solutions are pissing off the competitors by putting them out of business so they...###! Anyway, here's where it gets interesting...I TOLD HIM TO TAKE ME OFF HIS LIST AND NEVER CALL ME AGAIN which in reply he CALLED ME AN ### AND HUNG UP ON ME. I did attempt to call him back again and he said to me, DON'T EVER CALL HIS COMPANY AGAIN. This just goes to prove my point how professonial and legit these guys are. I just want to thank all the people who listed it's ashame that they were taken by these scums. Together, we can help put these guys out of business.

Add us to the list of people who this company tried to scam. Same deal... offered us more than we paid for a Hawaii property we bought 10 years ago. Needed immediate payment of $1388.54 via credit card. Promised they had a pre-approved buyer. I refused to give them my credit card info until I had seen their actual contract. meanwhile I was reading the post and comments on this site while she was giving me the sales pitch. I even got a call from the above mentioned Wesley, who at first got my name wrong when I answered. The internet is awesome. THIS IS A SCAM.

I am glad that I found this site. These guys sound a bit more reputable than some of the other scam calls I get to sell my timeshare. I was suspicious and would not have moved forward, but in reading these messages, their pitch has not changed. So, thank you to everyone, and the old cliche of "if it sounds too good to be true..."

Also, got a call about a week ago from Royal Resorts, LLC. Very aggressive, and the sales guy sounded very reputable, but again many of his answers did not sound legit or reasonable. The best advice seems to be use common sense, and if you get that uneasy feeling in your gut, you should just say no. That might not always be the case with other businesses, but when it comes to timeshares, it pays to be very cautious! It's too bad, because if a company really came up with a legit way to sell these for folks and charge a reasonable commission at closing, that company would probably make a lot of money. there is certainly a lot of demaind.

Well, I can dream can't I?

These timeshare sales agents are really nice. They'll invite you to their resorts, give you freebies, and will treat like real VIPs. The next thing you'll realized is that you signing the contract which is way out of your plan before.

I got a call from them today and thanks to this won't bother signing..you may be right about the few positive blogs working for them especially the bigbob1945 who seems not altogether there.. a mad employee I think..thanks again

Just rec'd My rental settlment! WooHoo

I am getting calls from a guy named Daniel Rogers [protected] regarding my timeshare. Its the same story. They have buyers lined up, all you have to do is give them $1300. The funny thing is that we all want to believe this is possible because we want to sell our timeshares. But the reality is that if you look at sellmytimeshare.com or a similar website. There are A LOT of properties for sale and it is VERY likely that the prices listed are a lot less than what these guys are offering. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

I cannot say if these guys are legit, but it smells fishy! I think I'm going to keep my $1300 and my timeshare for now.

Thanks for sharing...
I am getting calls from a guy named Mark Roberts at [protected] regarding my timeshare offering me the same kind of deal that the others have shared. I am very disturbed that the Attorney General hasn't shut them down and filed charges by now. Asking for money on the phone, up front with no contract in place is ubsurd and preditorial. I would suggest placing an ad in the newspaper of a nearby major city and sell it directly. Good Luck!

When I asked them to prove to me they were legit, they just got impatient and said they legally couldn't do it. This is bull. No one reputable would tell you that. I believe anyone saying anything positive about them either works for them or is getting paid off to do so. You never give money up front no matter what. Clark Howard says You never give money up front. I trust him and his reputation has spoken for itself. If these resale companies were reputable they would already have the money to deal with and not get it from us. They are LIARS and THIEVES!

the only thing i have bad is that my person wasnt the best person for phone, but somebody said two weeks didnt get their money back. they never say two weeks. you get your refund when it sales. mine was supposed to be 4-6 weeks. and yeah, there was some delays which upset me, but even though it took 13 weeks, it was sold and got refund. i think some wrote a blog prematurely. im selling my other two properties through them too. i dont agree with, after one person complaining prematurely, just hopping on the train and saying crap just cause its taking longer than you thought. sounds just like a bunch of impatient people with nothing else to do other than voice negative things about something that you're totally ignorant on. get a life and maybe you wont be so miserable. misery loves company. this so called blog proves that.

Count us in as suckers! We got scammed too - signed up in February before any of this fabulous info existed on these creeps. We tried to dispute the charge on our credit card (because they told us we wouldn't have a problem getting a credit if this deal was bad when we asked back in Feb). Well, Premier sends Vis the paper we signed with the Terms & Conditions and they are refusing to give the money back.

Should have known better - if it's too good to be true, it's NOT TRUE!

These people need to be stopped- file a complaint with the Attorney General of the State of Florida. File with the Better Business Bureau- do anything you can to put a stop to this scam. They have taken me for $2186 and have made excuses about everything imaginable about the buyer. I tried to cancel my contract- if you do- no refund. Buyer has already put down 20%, which is around $6600- so I told them I would sell it for that- waiting on the call now, which I'm sure will have another made up excuse why they can't do that either. Push them- call them every day- demand more information- anyone who says they have had results with this company has to be working for them- go figure. SHAME ON PREMIER TIMESHARE SOLUTIONS AND ANYONE WORKING FOR THEM!

I just got a call from Wesley Alred (cell # [protected], office # [protected]) and he miraculously had a buyer willing to pay $6500 more than what I paid for my timeshare that I bought more than 4 years ago. Isn't that amazing, all other forms of real estate have gone down in value but my timeshare has gone up 300%, whoa! Of course I had to pay for a bunch items in advance of my closing, i.e. ( title search, doc prep, attorney review, etc, etc) but the buyers would re-imburse me, imagine that! Well, needless to say, I wouldn't give Wesley my credit card info because, one, you never pay for these types of items until you have a meeting of the minds and a formal sales contract has been drawn, two, Wesley came up with same lame answer that these things have to be paid in advance of a sales contract; yeah, right Wesley! Don't fall for this scam and the other posters on this site who said they had a favourable outcome, probably work for Premier Timeshare themselves!
