Re: Has anyone ever sold their timeshare to Despegar.com travel agency? (by Don P.):
These guys are good at what they do. If they trap a few victims a week they make a good amount of money. Look at how they almost have you hooked. They will send you a check claiming that the amount is wrong and ask you to send them the difference. By the time you realize that the check is a fake you are out the amount you sent them. This is one of the oldest scams around. It's not just timeshare owners that they use this one on. I was in law enforcement for over twenty five years and I can smell a scam miles away and this one really stinks.
