Overview
The privately registered website, www.collection-media.com, suggests the company has been in business at least since 2014 (copyright at bottom of page). However, the site was created on 06/29/16, has a 1 year expiration and is privately registered to an address in Massachusetts.
The site and a document obtained by BBB lists a Cleveland business address of 101 W Prospect Ave. #4400. The leasing company for that address has confirmed they have no such tenant and the suite does not exist. BBB was unable to find any such company registered with the Ohio Secretary of State.
BBB and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advise consumers to proceed cautiously before allowing someone to sell their timeshare.
* Check them out before you agree to pay them any money.
* See if the state Attorney General, local consumer protection agencies, or the Better Business Bureau in the company’s home state have complaints about them on file.
* Search the company's name online with the words “complaints” or “scam.”
* Deal only with licensed real estate brokers or agents.
* Check with the Real Estate Commission in the state where your timeshare is located to make sure the company has a current license.
* Deal only with licensed escrow companies. Check with the Department of Insurance in the state where the escrow company is located to make sure the company has a current license.
* Get all terms in writing before you agree to anything. That includes services the company will perform; timing of the sale; fees and commissions; and cancellation and refund policies.
* Remember, if a company says you have to act now or you might miss out on a buyer, it’s not a company you want to do business with.
* Consider doing business only with a company that gets paid after the timeshare is sold.
* Never wire money or pay in cash.
* Be alert to a repeat scam. If a company offers to help get your money back from a timeshare resale scam but wants you to pay them before they do anything for you, walk away. This is a classic setup for another scam.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
