Scammers also create new profiles on forums and post more lies about their company. Despite your best attempts, they/you are a SCAM. As others have posted, renting getaway weeks is against the rules of RCI. Premier’s own website says all they do is list customer/victim timeshares for sale or rent and forward any offers. Nothing more. I still believe that it is all a sham anyway, with no offers, or fake offers, being sent to complaining timeshare owners.

Some company keeps calling me about my RCI and II membership, and the call is so vague that I do not understand how people fall for it. They say they are calling about my timeshare and my II membership, and I say, "What resort?" They just say, "I am calling about your timeshare." SCAMMERS are so stupid.

 

[VacationForever]

Several weeks ago, a scammer called me asking about my Marriott ownership and that I can rent out my unused getaway weeks. I said "Your mother would be so proud of you that you grew up to become a scammer." Click. My husband could not stop laughing.

I partially blame RCI. The have a consumer alert at their website which is ambiguous and only warns that RCI will not contact you.

“RCI will NEVER contact you to buy, rent or sell your timeshare ownership, deposited RCI weeks, RCI Points or any type of “extra/bonus” weeks on your behalf. Additionally, RCI will never proactively contact you and ask for your RCI.com username or password.”

What they should add to that warning is something like this:

“If you are contacted by anyone offering to rent multiple RCI Getaway weeks from you in exchange for an upfront fee, it is a SCAM. RCI does not permit renting of getaway weeks.”

SCAMMERS are so stupid.

Don’t disagree but what does this say exactly about the thousands of people who continually fall for the scam?

Yep, they are even more so.

Maybe they will add it, who knows?

I don't think it is reasonable to expect or require RCI to continually update its splash message on every new TS scam. It would be 500 pages long and people would complain about that, and still ignore it.

Indeed. I find it surprising that shills and scammers like this one would ever choose TUG as a venue to attempt to peddle their nonsense, given that the TUG “audience” knows a lot more about timeshare industry practices and associated details than they ever will. Amusing, yes — but still surprising.

I love it when the shill comes in with his first post on TUG, which he just joined yesterday!

Hi all- just checking if anyone has heard of this/done this or its a scam. I received a call from "Premier Resort Services" asking if i would be willing to sell my 6 weeks of interval exchanges if I wasnt planning to use them. The pitch: I have to pay $399 for each week ($2394 total) and they sell those weeks to conferences. I asked what if they cant sell them and they said that doesnt happen because they only buy inventory they have demand for. They would sell for x amount and I would make a $8k profit. I just have to be available by phone to make the exchange. It sounds a bit too good to be true so I am curious if anyone else has any experience with this. They have a reputable looking site and an A rating on the BBB, but these days I just assume everything is a scam.

advice welcome

thanks

I just fell for this Scam, and I am so ashamed I wasted sooo much of my time, and did not do my homework. Luckily I have contacted my credit card, and ask to put a stop on this charge of $2394.00! Rep also stating she has been doing this type of business, selling unused RCI weeks from Timeshare owners (mine is Worldmark by Wyndham) and they will reimburse you $1800 per week if you pay the $399 x 6 per week up front. State that every owner has 6 weeks RCI available, and if not being used, they should sell these weeks through their company. Now, everything I read is that they are a total scam, and have only been in business since Feb 2024--right around 6 months! Save yourself a LOT of time and frustration! Do NOT fall for all the BS!

Report them to any and every state office you can, both in your state of residence and in the state they operate. Start with the State Attorney General, Dept. of Consumer Affairs, Real Estate and Insurance regulatory agencies.

What @dioxide45 said. Please also file a complaint with the BBB. This scammer does not yet have a BBB complaint. There is no doubt in my mind (and many others here) that it is a scam. Unfortunately, most people scammed just move on and don't file any complaints/reports. A lack of complaints will result in more victims believing the lies since the company looks good on paper (no BBB complaints, BBB accredited).

You can file an online complaint directly from the BBB profile page below.

Thanks all for posting this important information. The PRS guy was slick and it did sound enticing. He asked for my email address to send the rental agreement and I asked for his. When his email wasn't an Interval address I asked why. He told me that all timeshare presentations are through PRS who he works for. Since his email address was a gmail address, I told him I needed to do my due diligence but to send out the rental agreement and I'd review it. When he asked for my credit card number for the rental agreement to hold the slots for the 63 units he needed to fill, I told him no way was I giving a cc number over the phone and that I'd fill it in when he sent the rental agreement. He ended the call quickly after that.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Thanks TUG!!

This schill is funny and I agree with everyone here. I find this rent your RCI weeks to be an actual scam as opposed to most which can fall into grey area. You cannot rent RCI weeks for commercial use, (for profit). Thats the dead giveaway. GCCAT, I don't doubt you may have been trained to believe what you are doing is legit, but its not only a violation of rules, but its not what your company is doing. They are collecting upfront fees from people who want to believe there is a magical solution and that there rising mfees will no longer be an issue. Once you have the money your company does not try to rent it for them. Its just more money down the drain for the owners. You may not be personally aware of the scam cause they aren't going to tell you we call and scam people, but you should see the many red flags, and while ignorance is bliss, it is also no excuse to the law.

While this company just keeps scamming at least their BBB profile is getting a long overdue update. In April 2024, they were BBB Accredited and hopefully that is being dropped. A little too late for those scammed out of money.

And this scammer’s BBB accreditation has been permanently revoked. It isn’t all good news though. This company is still cold calling and lying about getaway weeks. They are still B- rated with the BBB. Complaints are still rolling in. It is obvious that they have scammed in the past and are continuing to scam. This company is an excellent example of why scammers are drawn to the timeshare advertising business model. They can scam freely for years using blatant lies on the phone. They scam too by doing nothing behind the scenes. There is no real advertising of anyone’s timeshare, it is just cold call for upfront fees. They use the help of BBB ratings in their scam to convince victims they are legit. No agency seems to care that they scam. Attorney Generals don’t act until it gets too big. The only thing that really stops the company are the bad reviews and when the BBB eventually catches on themselves and puts out alerts and lowers the rating. In some cases that doesn’t happen until years later. We at TUG try to warn others and while I like to think it helps it obviously isn’t enough because the scammers continue for months or years after TUG’s warning posts. When the wheels start falling off the company, they just close and begin anew with a new name but same scam. This is a frustrating game of whack-a-mole.

Unfortunately, people are drawn into the scam by the good BBB ratings (at least before the revoked accreditation). The excerpt below from the most recent BBB complaint states they moved forward with this company because of the BBB rating, deeming the company as “legit”. They also mention the getaway week.

“Premier Resort Services called me wanting to advertise my Club ******************* property get away vacations. At first I was very reluctant as they wanted me to pay $1,596.00, however after looking at the great BBB rating and doing other research I deemed it to be legit so I entered into a 90 day contract with them on August 28th, 2024. They supposedly were supposed to be renting out my vacation property however I haven't heard anything from them. On 11/12/2024 I called them inquiring about anyone wanting to purchase the property for the get away week and they advised they haven't sold it yet. I then informed them I wanted to cancel and get my money back which is when they advised I had to wait until the 90 days are up as I entered into a contract.”
