Beware of Scam Artists

There are a couple of companies out there I’d like you to beware of that we just heard about. There are new scam companies popping up and falling out all the time but these ones below are currently active and will happily take your money.


One is called “Creative Vacation Solutions” which operates out of Florida and the other is “PLS Timeshares,” operating out of Charlotte, NC. If you do an online search using these names you will find several sites with Complaints of Fraud and Rip Off.


These companies, and many others, seem to work in the same way; they will call and tell you they have a buyer offering a ridiculous sum for a timeshare you own or a listing you have for sale.

An associate of ours said that Creative Vacation Solutions called him and had a buyer for his 2 bedroom, Whiskey Jack timeshare in Whistler, BC; the offer was $22,500 (way over priced). Then they told him they just needed $1,287 from him for his share of the closing costs! He asked to be put on their “Do Not Call” list, but they disregarded and continue calling.


Another timeshare reseller we know of stated: “Has anyone heard of PLS Timeshares? One of my clients received a Letter of Intent from them to purchase their Shell Vacation Membership-Kona Coast, Hawaii for $28,700; which seems too good to be true!!”


Stay away from companies with outrageous claims like these and warn your friends. Please be sure and also read our Warning about post card companies.
