I just had a talk with a very persuasive rep from this company and is sending someone over in a few days to see if we might "qualify" for their services.
Their website shows hundreds of happy customers
Are all these comopanies a scam?

I would love to hear back from this group.

Yes, 100% a scam. There is nothing they can do to "help" get you out of the legally-binding timeshare contract you signed that you can't do yourself, and they will charge you $$$$ to do that.

Here's a thread to explain what *you* can do--FOR FREE--to move this timeshare out of your name:

I'm confident that you will definitely qualify. Everyone qualifies so they can STEAL your money!

SCAM. Run away fast and don't waste your valuable time.

If you can open your wallet then you qualify.

Why don’t they just get your info over the phone to determine if you qualify instead of meeting with you? The answer is simple. You already recognize that they are persuasive. Putting that persuasiveness on face to face is much more effective. They want to close you on the spot by signing you up, and collecting thousands of dollars.

Don’t trust the website reviews. The BBB has 46 complaints in the last year. In one of those complaints an unhappy customer says that it has been three years and they still have their timeshare. They also reveal that they paid $15,000 to this company. They qualified for their services too.

As @dioxide45 posted, Vistana has a deed back program for owners. Were you aware of that? You can be sure that Timeshare Legal knows about Vistana’s deed back program and they are salivating at the thought of collecting your thousands of dollars only to turn around and use the deed back program. But they will inform you that you don’t need their services (because of the deed back program) during their in-depth interview to determine if you qualify, right? Nope. These exit companies prey on timeshare owners. The less you know the better they like it.

When these people are using their talents of persuasion, really you are looking straight at a criminal who will say anything to get your money. It's evil, and if you see it as evil, it's much easier to say no.

Quite a few, especially the ones targeting Mexico TS are part of an organized crime ring/drug cartel so another reason to stay as far away as possible
