This is a common scam. There are hundreds of scam companies like this one and World Market Events is just another one among the wide timeshare scam net. They would offer to timeshare owners to rent their property to potential buyers and would “guarantee” the deal. In my case that would be Ocean Blue and Sand from H10 Hotels.

Great West Funding wants to sell my timeshare in the Poconos, PA for $22850. Like they tell every body else, they have a buyer and will send in a down payment of $4,570.00 plus $2,487.00 processing fee, non refundable. If the buyer defaults this money goes to me the seller. However, I need to send in $2175 fee for escrow to close in 6 weeks. Then the problem is they start to pressure me to send in the $2175.
I dont like the way how it is playing out. First of all within a day of speaking to them they report to me that they received the buyer's monies sound too quick to be true in this rough economy. Then second all prospective sellers are given the same numbers for their sale. I think it look like a scam, it smells like a scam, it appears like a scam chances are it is a SCAM.

T.A.S.S Group LLC, Infinity Worldwide, and International Timeshare Vacation Network all based in Florida worked together to scam me out of a total of $5476.88 plus.
