I am being bullied from a person representing a timeshare realty. I did not sign a rental fom for his client nor did I accept a check which I haven't received anyway. I told him I didn't want to rent through them because it was a third party and I would rather do it on my own so I know who I'm renting to. Now he's inundating me with texts and email. He's threating to defame me because I won't rent to him. Please help! I don't know what to do about this!!!!

Is he from the USA? If you and him are, show them to your local law enforcement. They can tell you what to do next. Most likely nothing, but there is also getting a lawyer involved. A "Cease and Decist" letter from an attorney will shut him up instantly (the attorney may charge a small amount).

If this is the same "Timeshare Realty" as the one in the BBB file below then it is not a renter but rather an upfront fee advertising company. They were probably prospecting for victims of their scam and came across your rental ad. They will charge a fee to place an ad and once they have that fee your money is gone and you will never rent to anyone browsing their hard to navigate website with overpriced timeshares. Times must be so tough that they are resorting to bullying. If it is the same company as the one with the D- BBB rating I would suggest posting yet another complaint to their BBB file.

Edited to add - the website associated with the above Timeshare Realty Specialists is no longer working. Do you have a phone number that they were using? Does their e-mail list the exact name of the company?
