potential SCAM

Timeshare is all about worrying about maintenance fee increases or changes to the usage rules.

Anyone heard of or used Worry-Free Vacations to sell a timeshare??

No, and a search here doesn't turn up anything. Stay away and just try to sell them yourself.

How did you come to hear of this company? What is this company promising you and for how much?

It never stops, does it? They just keep on coming!

Most timeshares resales are worth little or nothing, so do be sure that your timeshare has any true value to begin with.

If anyone wants money in advance then you can be sure it is a SCAM to reach into your pocket and lighten your wallet. Protect your assets!

Very little found on the internet with that name. I did find a reference to a Worry-Free Vacations from 2008 and that it is/was a subsidiary of Delta Airlines. In fact, if you type in worryfreevacations.com it links back to Delta.

My guess is it was a cold call. Either this scammer is brand new or they intentionally chose a name that they hope people will confuse as being legit.

Edited: This is your second post. Your first post last year was about selling to a Mexican National. You were told that it was a scam. Now you have another scammer question. If you expressed any interest last year, even if you ultimately did not proceed, you may now be on a scammer list as a potential victim. Just be aware that they may keep trying a different scam until they hook you with one. Suggestion is to never answer an unknown phone number.

So sorry you were scammed. Do you have the websites and/or phone numbers for these companies? Have you filed a complaint with the state Attorney General and BBB?

Edited: I think I found US Commercial Escrow Corp’s website, which is nothing more than their name put together. That website was created less than a year ago on June 20, 2023. They also list a NYC address, common with scammers. That website design also looks like many other scammer websites.

Yes and you should NOT speak with them. They are run by a Mexican cartel and will scam you out of $$$$.

They are run and owned by a very dangerous cartel in Mexico. There is a podcast from The NY Times about a man’s experience with them. They lost $900k.

Below is another TUG thread on this story. The NY Post article linked in the original TUG thread doesn’t mention Worry-Free Vacations but the Daily Mall article below does. The article also mentions that one of the scam websites was registered in Reykjavik, Iceland, something I have previously seen with other scam companies.

Retired law enforcement officer gave $900K to Mexican cartel timeshare scammers

DH and I listen to podcasts when we go on long walks. This one just blew our minds! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily/id1200361736?i=1000652239114

Californian man, 76, scammed out of almost $1M by Mexican cartel

Not sure what the OP’s story is but February 2023 they asked a question about selling to a Mexican National and was told it was a scam. This February, a year later, they ask about Worry Free Vacations and was told it was a scam. A week after that they admit they were scammed by the title company for Worry Free Vacations.

I don’t know if the OP got caught up in a second scam this year despite the warnings last year or if this is all one scam related to the question last year. What we do know is that these scammers are very sophisticated and detailed. However good they are with that, they can never disguise all the red flags but the scammers know that desperate timeshare owners will ignore those red flags. Unfortunately, there will always be willing participants in their scams.

I'm not doubting that. My questions to the OP were to see if this company in question raised any red flags indicating that it is one of the TS scams such as an unexpected phone call and/or a promise to sell the TS for mega bucks.

It’s a Scam and a Mexican Cartel is behind it.

The promise was to buy an $8k timeshare for $20k. Then they tell you fees needs to be paid along the line of what you pay when you buy a house in the US. And they keep asking for more money. Last year 8 members of the call center were found executed outside the business. The cartel doesn’t let them go either.

There was an article recently, I forget where, about a man from China who was essentially traffiicked under the pretenses of a different job, taken across an international border, and put into slavery working at a scam call center. A lot of these scammers making the calls (not just the timeshare scams) may themselves be victims of larger criminal organizations.

NPR and Propublica. There are also some sites with video reports on it.
