Just got this E-Mail. Was not aware that Wyndham points could be swaped between various programs or sold (I thought a specific reservation needed to be made then it could be rented).

Anyone taking Andrew up on his offer may want to consult the Members Directory First.

Any reply you send will reveal your email address to andrew91.

This is the message:

Hi, if you still have Wyndham points i would be interested in buying them off you or maybe even swapping for other programs points.
Please respond by sending to my email and not PM

This appears to be the beginning of non stop spamming. Three messages received on the same topic. 5:49, 5:43, and 6:02.

I wonder is using TUGS by a member as a spamming device gets the member suspended.

P.S. The E-Mails cited did not come through TUGS. A different one came through through TUGS.

I think they just want to do a trade for a reservation. You make one for them and they make one for you..>It happens all the time..Private trade.

I've done several direct trades here on TUG.
It's a great way to get into those hard to exchange resorts. ;)

This person just registered TODAY and has no posts - he's not a member, just a guest. If you responded to his TUG email, he will have your email address, and be able to email you directly.

I added his user name to your title in case he is contacting other people as well.

Do you have an Ad posted on TUG that he is referring to?

Thanks for the modification to the title. This was my intent for the post. His approach, wording, etc. makes me wonder what he is up to.

I have no add on TUGS for points. I do not remember if I posted ad a couple of years ago on tugs or not. If I did it would have been a location based ad. I am not nor have I rented or had as a guest anyone other than relatives and/or friends (local that are know personally by my family).

My guess is that if you lead him on, you will eventually get an offer from an upfront fee company to sell your timeshare for a fabulous amount of money.

After you pay them a fabulous amount of money. ;)

Trust me I did not lead him on or respond to the E-Mails on either count.
