Got a phone call from Clearview Properties explaining that they were a timeshare reselling company and someone had interest in our timeshare that we own. When asked if they were a legitimate business all they could give us was a "word from mouth" certificate of good standing. "Supposedly" the buyers put $7,000 down that they would lose if they backed out of the deal. This payment was done before we were contacted by the company. We were suppose to put $1985 down for closing costs and we would "see the money back from the selling of our timeshare." We believe that the buyer's down payment was used as an incentive for us to put in money. A contract was emailed to us with "signatures", which does not look like a professional contract and we could sign it and email it back to the company. With all these things that we have to do and putting money upfront we suspected that this was a scam and would lose the money and possibly the timeshare.
