118. Barbara from Michigan -November 24, 2010
Hello All; My husband and I were also scammed throught this REM aka American Resort Planners. I read all the above comments and they are ALL TRUE. They charged my credit card $1299.00. The representative told us that this amount would advertise our property until sold or rented. They took our money and we have not been able to contact them since . It was known as Resort Equity Marketing then, back in 2008. Now it is known as American Resort Planners. I am so hurt and disgusted. I am filing a complaint against them with the Attorney General’s office in Florida. I want my money back.

HELLO!! Do not waste your money!! Interval Property Management is a HUGE SCAM take it from me I trained for a week to work with them and they take your money, pay their Reps 30% commission of everything you pay them and DO NOT market your property as they say!! There are no Trade Shows at the Convention centers and None of their Reps are licensed telemarketers. IT’S A SCAM!! Their prices start at $452 and go up to $999 never more than $1000 due to felony issues. They also closed down their Maitland offices.

REM is scandalous; they offered me more money than I paid for the timeshare even when I told that I only wanted a certain amount which was much lower than their offer. they wanted $799.00 up front, to cover title searches and what ever and I haven’t heard from them again. Every number has been disconnected or not working at all meaning they ring but there is no room on the voicemail slot. wish I had found any website that told this before, I would be a little more richer than I am now. I am broke.

It sounds like we were all scamed by REM–$1595. This was in Jan. 2009. Wish we had found this web site long ago it would have saved us money, time and now the energy of filling out the papers for the Attorney General.
To top this off another company BestResortRentandSale.com for the tune of $599. said they could get the money back for you from REM. Throwing good money after bad. Twice burned.

I also was scammed by them – but being smart/tight with money, I paid with a platinum Discover card that had a 6 month satisfaction refund policy. On the 178th day with no offers from REM- I mailed a letter and contacted the credit card with my non satifaction of the services paid for and got a dispute initiated and REM did not respond to the “dispute of disatisfaction with services” I was issued a full refund from my Discover card. If I ever try to sell again – I will use the perks of another Platinum credit card to have the backing of satisfaction of services paid for. Good Luck to all of you – I feel lucky to have the refund. The Florida Attorney general is working to get people refunds on services paid to sell a time share that did not sell. Call them to see what they can do for you.

I too was ripped off by REM. I was promised after many calls that my property in Myrtle Beach could be sold very easy because there was no balance on the property. After many calls I finally decided to take the offer and much to my surprise I got ripped off. I paid them $1295.00 and have not recieved anything from them. Everytime I call they tell me the same lie. Now I have contacted the Attorney General in Fla. I have been told that the case against them has been closed. My contract was taken out in Feb. of 2009 and now it’s Aug. of 2010 and I haven’t heard a word from them.

We also were contacted MANY times and finally agreed and sent our $624. Then I went on line and found that they were not reputable, then called Discover and canceled to no avail. They said that we were late by 24hrs and that we could not cancel. It has beenJuly, 2009.

Actually I have! I owned 3 timeshares that I had been trying to sell for a while. After listing with Buyatimeshare.com they sold all three properties in the first year of being on the market. They were always super friendly and professional. I have sent all of my friends and family to work with them. I would def recommend them!
