When viewing the timeshares,
be sure to look for the
 Owner is Verified
link.
To become verified, an owner must submit a valid credit card when listing their timeshare
for sale or rent. This provides prospective buyers and
renters peace of mind and security when renting or buying a timeshare from
the owner. It allows them to know that the owner is who they say they
are and that we have valid information on file for the owner if something
was to ever happen. For added security, we also recommend prospective timeshare buyers and renters do
the following:
1. Make payment using a credit card that offers fraud protection, such as
Visa. Alternatively, use a payment service such as escrow,
PayPal, or Western Union to send money online safely and secure.
2. Obtain the full name of the owner and their timeshare unit
number (if applicable). With this information, you can contact the resort and verify
that the timeshare owner is truly the owner of the timeshare unit.
3. Speak to the owner in person. This helps both the owner and the
buyer/renter in getting to know each other and develop a trusting
relationship.
Although we have never encountered a single
case of fraud or misuse through our website, we still recommend taking
precautions when conducting any type of online transaction that involves
revealing your identity and/or the transfer of funds. Please take as
many precautions as possible when conducting transactions over the Internet,
whether on this website or on others. |
