Re: TimeshareMLS.org resale scam (by Gary M.):

timesharemls.org mow has over 10,000 listings on their website in just over a year of operating this one site.

That's approximately $6 million in sales or rip offs of timeshare owners which is a more appropriate description.

Why are these advance fee sales rips so good in most cases in convincing timeshare owners to pay $400 to $1,000 for their service..well, first they are skilled con men and women who are well versed in hitting the right hot buttons of timeshare owners who are desperate to to sell their property and second it's the money.

On average these reps make a minimum of 35% commission on each sale. The top couple of reps at timesharemls.org make around $100,000 a year. The company average per rep, $50,000 a year.

The company that owns timesharemls.org (CHL Marketing) has 4 other websites associated with it that I know of. The Owner, Howard Levene and General Manager, Jon Warren, are making a very nice living off of fleecing timeshare owners.

Keep in mind this is just one company in the advance fee resale business and not even the biggest. I'm fairly sure the biggest is timeshareonly.com who are just as much a scam job as the rest but are gaining credibility with their national ads and now they have managed to con an association with Disney.

Lets do our best to get the word out. Whether it's posting here or the rip off report or scam.com or other timeshare forums please post your experiences with these companies. Don't forget the proper state agencies either. The Attorney General's Office for example. The more these agencies here from ripped off consumers the more likely they are to act.
