I'm OVERLY concerned because I don't want to get "Suckered" in again.
Out of the blue I was contacted by "Edward Peters" via Sierra Club.
Mind you this was part of our Velas Vallata (Mexico time-share) purchase, resale/rental program. My question is this: Why, if I'm the "seller" am I required to pay $995.00 for transfer papers-title search-ect.
TRUST ME, I want to sell my time-share but I don't want to get sucked-in again. I keep hearing I should never pay an "UP-FRONT" fee to sell it.
Any comments or feed-back is encouraged.
Thank-You

Thank You for your input. I KNEW if it "sounded" to good to be true, it was more than likely a scam. Thanks for responding, it really helps. I guess one of the only ways to try and fix these issues is on our next visit to the "time-share". One wonders why people end up "SNAPPING".
There has to be a way out with-out costing MORE Money? Is there a successful way to rents these time-shares?

I am so glad that I had enough sense to post about the latest Sierra Club Rental and Resale SCAM.
Even if I haved help one person from being scammed again I feel better. Just to reiterate DO NOT
EVER GIVE UP FRONT MONEY TO LIST OR SELL YOUR TIME SHARE. You will regret your decision after not hearing back from these companies for months and unfortunately will not be able to get your money back. It looks like (We As Consumers) must just learn from our mistakes and hope not to make them again. After questioning Sierra about "up-front-fees" they never contacted or followed up with me again. That just reinforced day one suspision.
If I had more time on my hands I would really try to expose these frauds and put them out of business. They are preying on us because they know we are VERY DESPERATE to get rid of the time shares' that we can no longer afford or have use for. Just do all your homework before making any decisions. Beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing. If its sounds to good to be true then it probably is just another scam.

I am so pleased that I started this post. Thank God that so many people have avoided the Scam from Sierra Club Rental and Resales. It's sad to know that some folks still got scammed. Please keep posting so Any Resale Company that tries to charge UP-FRONT Fee's are SCAMMERS. It looks like we are unfortunately stuck with the "time-share" unless we pay up-front fee's to get rid of them... Not Even Guaranteed.

This company is referred by the Royal Elite/Sandos resorts in Mexico, another scam company. They are deceitful and misleading, i would rather stay away very far away from them. This is another forum with more complaints made to royal elite timeshare sales tactics and sierra club rental and resales:

I have been thinking about this for a long time and I think Sierra Club is the most ruthless cowards that I have ever seen, their cohorts went into a national forest in Oregon quite a few years back and destroyed about 20, 000 dollars worth of equipment owned by a logging company, if it wasnt for logging you ###s would not have toilet paper to wipe your ### ### and also your sierra club hats that you say you sell to make money, why are your hats made in China and not here in the good old United States, oh I know it costs more here in the states to make the hats, and we all know they use children to make these hats, and probably everything, you sell, right non-profit, that is more ###, a friend of mine gave me a few of your hats with sierra club on them I gave them to a friend, they made good targets, No I think sierra club sucks and nee to go to China and save their Country, you are not welcome here in the United States., no you do not need my phone number or name. Sierra Club keep on sending me forms to join or donate money for your worthless cause, but you can send me the 20, 000 dollars that it cost to replace the logging equipment that was destroyed, but the trees still got cut, to make your [censored] and build your houses, plus all the tons of paper you use everyday...you guys are full of ###...
