Timeshare Scams and Fraud

we fell for this once in May2019 and gave up funds to 'sell' our unused weeks at Interval International. We were naive new owners, and stupidly thought this was the way of timeshare properties. It made sense to sell what we were not going to use and to make money to be able to cover annual maintenance fees, but it was costly. Never heard back from the company until just this week 05 Oct 2022. Now they want almost 3x the funds for 'activiation fees'. They want it now, wire transfer, nothing in writing. Wasn't going to give up more funds to chase funds already lost.
we declined

Hotels Combined called me and offered to purchase my timeshare points with Diamond Resorts They are a total scam.

The salesman, Sean, convinced us they would take care of all the reservations and registrations for the "low cost" 1 week stay, 250.00 for the room and 75.00 each for the airfare. He put through the reservation for the room but did not register us on line. The airfare is done with "some other company" so if the registration isn't done in 90 days the offer isn't valid. It is 13 days over the 90 days so no discounted airfare! The registration was supposed to have been done when we bought this and he told us he took care of it...NOPE

I got a membership in April 2018.

It is really unacceptable that they did not take into consideration that we have had a pandemic and that customers are penalized. Is really a scam !

I have never had an email from them and a reminder that it will expire. once you have our money, there is no service. It is really crude and unacceptable that we don t an exception. And they did not told me that we have to use the service before 3 y... Read More

On Monday July 25, 2022 I called Diamond Resort Help line to inform them that my wife had a stroke and had difficulties walking, and with long and short term memory. As a result of her physical and mental problems we will not be traveling for at any time in the future. I asked for help exiting the time share. I was told that I had to pay off all outstanding money owed. I had a binding contract and there was nothing I could do. Once everything was paid off, there could be a $1,000 fee to leave. Talk about a no help desk.
