I do not know if this the right place to put this post.

The few times I have donated to ARDA it has been with my Sheraton and Westin timeshares.

I had three phone calls within 10 minutes trying to get us to come to a ARDA information forum at a local restaurant next week.
Why would they pay for us to come for a free meal unless they want a donation?

I requested the first caller to send me an email. She said she was unable to do that.

I feel this is probably not legit.

Stated they had taken on the problem of our increasing maintenance fees. HA!

Has anyone else been receiving these calls?

Thanks
 
It isn't ARDA - It's someone posing as ARDA to get you to a sales meeting.
 
They want to separate you from your hard earned money. They aren't looking for a donation. They are either wanting you to pay them to sell your timeshare, or they want to sell you more timeshare.
