Yes, Timeshare Globe has been discussed here in the past. They will want a "registration" fee ($199 to $599) and then they might promise they will sell your week. They might also give you a money back guarantee.

Please read very carefully: Please do not give them your money. TUG's #1 rule: Never pay an upfront fee in an effort to sell or rent your timeshare.

The collective TUG experience is that of hundreds and hundreds of reports here of upfront fee payments in efforts to sell a timeshare, not a single sale has resulted from such a payment. There were two sketchy reports of sales, but neither could be verified.

Read (and study) the "how to sell" article at this TUG link. You'll get all you need to know about "upfront" fee offers such as the one you mention and you'll get some good tips on how to sell or rent your week without getting scammed.

They also called us. We asked for some more information on their company, something in writing just to string them along. They promised a e-mail and also that they would send us more information. Received nothing. They called again and we asked where the e-mail was and we haven't heard from them since.
