You get an unsolicited call: someone is ‘ready to buy’ your timeshare. All you have to do is pay some upfront fees first — and the buyer who never existed disappears with your money.
If someone calls out of the blue with a ‘buyer ready’ for your timeshare and asks for upfront closing or listing fees, it’s almost certainly a scam — the buyer doesn’t exist. Never pay upfront to sell a timeshare.
Unsolicited 'we have a buyer' calls that require upfront fees are a common fraud. The buyer rarely exists and the fees vanish.
The resale market is often near-zero value. Be realistic, never pay upfront listing fees, and verify any buyer or escrow independently.
An unsolicited caller claims a buyer is lined up at a surprisingly good price.
You’re asked to prepay closing, transfer, tax, or listing fees to ‘complete the sale.’
The buyer never existed. The fees are gone, and no sale ever happens.
A licensed advisor reviews your specific situation — free, no obligation, no pressure. Never a call center.
