Here is a good one brought to me by a client of a friend of mine:
"I spoke with a woman in Daytona Beach, FL who offered to market my timeshare, then negotiate a sale that is higher than the price I paid for it. I paid $11,000. She said she would price it at $19,900 but that negotiations could chip it down. I would have the final say on the acceptance price. My fee for this would be $1,500.00. She guaranteed me an offer within six months. If I don't accept any offers they present to me, they would continue trying to sell it for another six months. She said that my timeshare, being at the low end, should sell pretty quickly."
Can you believe it? Luckily, in this case, the person with the TS was just a little suspicious when this scammer offered to sell the TS for so much more that the original purchase price. Had it not been for that, I think this person would have fallen for the scam.
