Hello, I am looking to rent a timeshare, I found a posting on my resort network, filled out a reach out form. I was contacted by Nick from Worldwide Vacation Rentals. Nick gave me prices and sent me an invoice to be payed through Venmo. I am just a little skeptical, I have to pay the full amount up front.

Has anyone used rented through this company before? need advice before I pay.

If that company is from "Beverly Hills", stay away. They are known to take money for reservations that do not exist, and then try and find a rental, often at a last minute at a high discount to maximize their profit. Sometimes they are unable to find anything, refund your money, and you end up without a reservation.

Always independently verify that the reservation actually exists before sending any money.

Yup, they sure are from beverly hills. I asked for a copy of the original reservation confirmation and have not heard back from them. I guess I will stay away and be safe.
