Looking to see if anyone gets phone calls for RCI weeks for corporate rentals, “If you pay the upfront fees for all weeks, 90 days later, a negotiated sum will be paid to us?? Is this yet another scam or can you actually get reimbursed for the weeks?

It's a scam, and a common one.

Remember that your agreement with RCI prohibits you from renting an exchange or Last Call week.

I am guessing that you did not click the link that Brian posted because if you had read it you would have had your answer in the first paragraph.

“Hands down one of the most common scams in the industry today, is when a random company contacts you via telephone claiming they have a buyer for your Timeshare or claims they can rent out your bonus/exchange weeks!

FACT: ANY company that contacts you out of the blue claiming to have a buyer or renter for your timeshare is looking to rip you off and will eventually ask you for some sort of legitimate sounding fee that you will never see again!

NO legitimate organization making outbound calls to Timeshare owners for the efforts of selling or renting timeshares...PERIOD!”

If you go through the pages of these forums, you will see that there are dozens of people here who get such phone calls with the same song and dance. And, as others have clearly pointed out above, these are all scams.
 
Guilty and fell for it recently. Is there anything I'm able to do to get my money back? I just joined this group and so grateful! I have lots to learn.
 
Very sorry you got scammed. while we do have a page with some options to fight back...the reality is that the chances of actually recovering any money are slim.

Anyone who tells you they can get your money back is likely just trying to get more money from you. These scams are run by brutal cartels.

Can you please give a few more details? For which scam did you fall? There are many out there with many variations thereof.
