Re: Renting A Timeshare To Someone From Another Country (by Marty F):

I've had a couple of very strange potential renters from Africa. One wanted to have someone in the US who owed her money send it to me. I was to subtract my rental payment and send the balance to her travel agent. No amount had been agreed on. No specific location other than Florida. I suggested she just have the travel agent handle the whole thing and heard no more. Is this a scam? Don't see how she would profit but it was all very odd.

Another person wanted to rent an apartment and asked me to tell her the cost for a year. She didn't indicate WHERE through, presumably, she was from Seattle before going to South Africa. Has anyone else encountered requests like there?

Hi Mary

These possibly could be scams. If these requests were through the RedWeek.com website please email http://www.redweek.com/contact_usand let us know their names so that we can check into this.

There is a good page on our website about scams that will be helpful to you. http://www.redweek.com/help/scams/419-overpayment-scam
