Hi Greaves 64, How did you pay them? We got in touch with the credit card company as my mother paid by card. They have refunded my mother's money pending further investigations. I never got a reply from Global Reservation Services,I think the only reason they want you to cancel in writing is to get evidence of their contract back! If you paid on a credit card get in touch with them asap,they should fight your corner. Good luck!

Thanks Chrisiebabe,fingers crossed she can get her money back. At least with these forums people can be forewarned and learn about other people's experiences before parting with any cash. I feel sorry for all those people who don't have a family member to fight their corner,they are such an easy target for these people. When I spoke to their sales person on the phone they were VERY slick and had all the answers ready,I can imagine a lot of elderly people being taken in by them,they are very convincing.

DO NOT TOUCH THIS WITH A BARGE POLE! They conned £1200 out of my disabled elderley mother saying they had a buyer for her Florida timeshare.They sent a contract which all looks nice and legal.You get your money back when they complete the sale..BUT in the small print it states that if they don't sell your time share within 9 months they keep your money.If you try to cancel they keep 20% of your money.There is no mention in their paperwork of your right to cancel with a full refund within 14 days.I spoke to them and the lady gave me a very high pressure sales pitch.She said she could guarantee they'd sell the property within 9 months but wouldn't put that in writing. I said if they were that confident to pay for the time share themselves only to be told we don't buy timeshare properties. I cancelled in writing and returned their "contract" as requested.(I also made copies of all the paperwork for myself.) I sent it recorded delivery and it was signed for. After 14 days they still haven't refunded my mother's money and now we are trying to claw back the money through the credit card company. These people make me sick,they prey on the elderley and weak. DO NOT PART WITH ANY OF YOUR HARD EARNED CASH,IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY YOUR PROPERTY WHY SHOULD YOU PAY ANY MONEY UPFRONT?
