Timeshare Scams and Fraud

We too were scammed by Prl and Sunset Harbor. Although we have used the RCI network with points from Sunset Harbor timeshare.

We were promised 8500 for the first year and 6400 for the next year.

They authorize you credit card over the phone at that point and you are charged. The contract they ask you to sign states a refund is offered within 7 days but is non-refundable if after signing the contract. ... Read More

Presentation on 9-26-12 No contact after Emails sent
He finally called and appeared to have a good excuse because he had an inaccurate email address for us. We let the charge stand on our credit card. We were really duped. Their setup of people and the pass around was quite a system. Do we even have the timeshare or the points with RCI?
