Getaway Guranteed Rentals

[JMSH]

Need some info. Interval International has called wanting me to book some of the Getaway certificates that I have not used. They advise that I need to book 4 weeks ($400/week) and than trade them back with a guranteed return of between $1600-$1800 per week.......as they have individuals already lines up to use them. Generally when something seems to good to be true I generally believe it is........Anyone have any experience with this?

It's a scam.

The person who called you was not from Interval.

Think about it: why would the real Interval need you to rent these units? The answer will become obvious when whoever called you asks you to front "reimbursable" money.

It is a very common scam. You send them money and you never get anything back. It isn't Interval calling you . Interval doesn't allow you to rent out anything you get from them. They also don't need anyone's permission to rent out their getaways. If they had a renter lined up they would simply rent it out and keep all of the money.

I suggested that he pay the $400 and I would split the proceeds. LOL

Exactly. So odd that this simple fact slips by. Interval just wants to give away rental proceeds, and cold-calls people to see if they can give them free money????? And break their own rules in doing so??

Sound familiar?

I.I. called pitching help in renting Certificate weeks people earn from I.I.

I could not take the call at the time, but I wondered if anyone else received such a call from I.I. claiming to help rent Certificate weeks that I do not use. (In fact, I rarely use them.) Can anyone tell me whether this call is worth taking when they call me back? It seems too good to be...

I received a similar call to this today. Wanted an up front activation fee. Said this was a "Maintenance Fee Offset Program." Supposedly would then rent up to six (supposedly six is a tax free cap), min of four, of my Interval weeks to corporate people they work with for conventions. Said they I'd net ~$1k per week I entered in to an agreement with them. Wanted to send DocuSign agreement and would then take a credit card for the activation fee.

I get 4 to 7 calls like this a week. It is a scam.


UPDATE: I think I got bad Karma all of a sudden, today so far I have had 7 of these calls. I don't answer them, they did not leave a VM. It is one plus about having a cell phone from a different area code than the one you live in. Anyone calling from that Area Code that I know are in my cell phone, everyone else I do not answer, they do not leave a msg.

I get these calls almost daily from someone always wanting to rent my getaway weeks. They leave me voicemails, I block the number, they call from a different number, rinse & repeat over and over again.
