Resorts Transfer Inc

Has anyone actually dealt with Resorts Transfer Inc? They are located in Tampa FL but they contacted us about using the "extra vacation weeks" through RCI to rent a week's vacation to someone who may be interested in buying into RCI. We were told that the renters only have to attend the 90 minute sales pitch and they get a free week long vacation, for which we (as current owners) would be paid $1100-1400.

I have checked the BBB and done a search for them and i'm gathering information. I would like to know if anyone has actual knowledge on their company (has done business with them or knows someone who has) that will tell me if they are legit or not. I'm trying to do all the research so we don't get scammed. thanks!!

RCI will not allow anyone to compete with them

Neither you nor this company can rent out anything coming from RCI. Also I would guess that they have asked you for some money to do a title search, a reservation fee or some other non-existent item.
Once you give them your money, they will disappear and you will be poorer and hopefully wiser. .


We have been hearing about many unscrupulous telephone marketing companies that are calling sellers and making all kinds of unbelievable offers for there units, only to require some form of upfront deposit, please read below.

Reputable resale agents charge commission after the sale and take their fee out of the proceeds...they don't charge the seller any upfront fees, the problem is that most units have little to no value in today's market.

Some resale companies sell timeshares and some just sell ADVERTISING and have no intention of every actually selling your timeshare.

Here are some warnings signs with these kinds of companies:


1) Do they say that they already have a renter/buyer for your timeshare? (or an established market like people attending conventions.)
2) Are they offering to rent/sell it for far more than the market value?
3) Do they want you to pay a large up front fee?
4) Do they want your credit card number before they send you a contract?
5) Do they claim that you, the seller, have to pay for taxes, closing, a title search, or other fees in advance?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, then this is the usual scenario:

Once you pay the fee and receive the contract, you discover that the company has only promised to advertise your resort, not to rent/sell it, and they don't mention having a renter/buyer in the contract.

Then, you won't hear anything from them for a long time, and when you contact them, they will tell you that the renter/buyer backed out, but they will advertise your timeshare on their over-priced website.

Finally, when you try to get your money back, they will point out that you signed a contract, and it's only for advertising.

When you try to challenge it with your credit card company, they will tell you the same thing. - You signed a contract for advertising, and it's too late to dispute the charge.
