As our competition tries harder and harder to gain your business they stray further and further away from the services the timeshare resale industry is supposed to provide. Of the millions of websites promising the fastest sales at too-good-to-be-true prices, few companies are truly equipped to advertise, and sell your timeshare successfully.

BuyATimeshare.com has heard stories from many of our clients regarding other companies that make deceptive telemarketing, promising to help individuals with their timeshare woes. Promising large sums of money, guaranteed sales, high pressure sales, and charging steep upfront fees. The sinister tactics have gotten so rampid that North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper has requested last week to temporarily ban Premier Timeshare Vacations, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida from making telemarketing calls to North Carolina residence.

Be wary of these types of companies, who will make outlandish promises to gain your business. They are making the entire industry fight harder for the trust of the consumer, who has witnessed these unethical practices for year. And while many will claim to do what BuyATimeshare.com can do, there is no timeshare solution in the world that has satisfied so many timeshare owners worldwide.

Any business that states they can guarantee a speedy sale or claim they have a buyer lined up, you should beware. It is why Cooper is seeking a permanent ban on this company’s telemarketing practices, and why he is asking the court to order Premier Timeshare Vacations to pay refunds to consumers and civil penalties to the state.

It is easy to spot a scam if you know what to look for. The fees should not be too excessive, and remember that no one can sell something they do not already have in inventory. No matter what, research the company, not for complaints but instead look to see how much traffic the site receives. Website like ranking.com, alexa.com and compete.com are independent businesses that will show you how any website ranks among the millions of sites online.
