Well if you could give more details as to why they called you or what they are offering, some posters here on RedWeek might be able to answer your question.
Here are some typical signs of a scam with companies like these:
1) Cold calls out of the blue.
2) Offering to sell or rent out your timeshare for far more than resale market value.
3) Convincing you that they have buyers lined up waiting in the wings.
4) Asking you to pay an upfront fee. They might have various euphemisms for this fee such as "closing costs", "paperwork fee", "remittance tax", etc. But any such tax or fee that has to be paid would come out of the proceeds of the sale and not from the seller beforehand.
5) Not letting you see the contract or terms of agreement before you pay.
