We too have Shell property & they guaranteed us thst they would sell in 180 days...thank you for keeping us from making yet another mistake!!!!! Does anyone know how to get rid of the timeshares!!!!
I got a phone call from Penelope at Resort Equity Marketing (REM2SELL.com) offering to sell my 3 timeshares for an incredible profit since they sell to corporate travel departments. I only have to pay an upfront "marketing fee" of $1399 per property. I was told I would soon start receiving offers and "not to take the first offer" but to hold out for more money. Certainly sounds too good to be true. Does anyone know of situations where REM2SELL ever made a sale?
Resort equity marketing has been in biz for 7 years with a clean record. Obviously the one who wrote bad things also gave his buddied company to call insted of REM.
REM has 50,000 members and offers a money back guarantee. What more could you want. You can't sell it if it isn't listed.!!!!!!!!
I think they did a good job for me.

Received a call from 321-282-0600 Caller Id "Resort Equities M".
My husband answered the call, and just as all of the above mentioned, the gentleman also was named "Bill Richards" and said he would pay us 20-22,000 (which was very close to what we paid a few years ago) for our Cocoa Beach Resort Timeshare or he would pay us $2500-3000 to rent it out for this year. No fee was discussed, however, Mr. Richards had no clue which timeshare unit we owned and was surprised when we told him it was a penthouse unit. this was VERY SUSPICIOUS! After reading all about this scam company on this board and the BBB board, I called back and asked them how we were getting our phone numbers, being that we were on the NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. The switchboard operator said, she would add our number to "THEIR" do not call list. When I asked for their president's name, she said 'Jessy Winnick"... and when I asked her to spell his last name, she did not know how to spell it and she, was the JUST the 'switchboard' operator.
Sending off complaint to DONOTCALL group! thanks for keeping us updated on this company and these scrutinizing scam calls.
