Have almost been scammed. Contact wants to buy my timeshare that is for sale. Asks a few questions and then a few days later offers almost the asking price. Identifies that she will be dealing with chicagotitletimeshare.com Advises that I don't need to be represented in this sale. I insist on legal representation and give the name and contact info of my lawyer. NEVER HEARD FROM HER AGAIN. So beware!! It's just a scam. I live in Canada, but I'm sure that this same scam is alive and well in the USA.

It would be helpful to others if you posted the name of the person or company who tried to scam you.

Sounds a lot like our recent TUG spammer "Judy Boulay" to me, but maybe the alias has changed... :shrug:
