Hi; I was first contacted by Instant Results Financial back around the first of December 2010, stating that they could see my timeshare if I was interested that they already had a buyer that was interested and they could send me the contract for me to look over and the only thing they required of me was to pay my portion of the closing costs upfront which was approximately $1700. I was emailed the contract, I looked over it and in order to "bind" the agreement I had to go ahead and authorize the transaction for the closing costs. They told me it would take approximately 45 days to complete the process and get all the proper paperwork. Around the first of January I called and left several messages and nobody ever called me back, so I started to get scared so I faxed a letter stating I thought this was a scam and I wanted to back out of the deal which I had the right to do and she assured me that everything would be completed and we would be able to close in about 2 weeks, so I believed her and waited. Two weeks went by and I heard nothing, I started calling again, and sending faxes, nobody returned my calls or answered my faxes, I called at different times up to 11pm EST and still only got the answering machine. So now it is April. It looks like now the website has been taken down. I am out $1700, I feel like such an idiot, I should have known better. I will help do whatever is needed to get everyone's money back, I am not sure what we can do but this is fraud.
I have filed complaints with the BBB and the Attorney General's Office in California. If enough of us file complaints with the AG's office maybe something will be done.

Contact the Los Angles FBI Fraud Unit. I have been sending faxes and emails.
With no response. They go somewhere because I a conformation back.
I have even call business in that building on that floor and no one has heard of them. They are going by a different name I just don't know what it is.
Lets all stay in touch and pass notes about what they have found out about this company.

First, we appreciate the other HONEST folks who have provided their reviews of this disgusting godless organization. (probably only two or three bottom feeders) I'll bet their parents are really proud of their offspring. It looks like to date, we are leading . . . $2,436.00 from us. As others have stated they know exactly what to say, I even argued with them about the stupidity of sending money to them with NO guarantee. I have filed a complaint with the Iowa Attorney General office, and I will surely keep everyone posted with any information I receive. We have empathy for all those who have lost their hard earned money with these . . . I'll just say people.

I have been reading other reviews, which cause my heart to sink. My husband and I "believed" the pitch from a "Mike Davidson" and stupidly sent our $2100.00 to Instant Results Financial. With our "Purchase Agreement" in hand, we were so relieved that someone was going to take this burden off our shoulders. However, as in other comments, the phone number for "Mike Davidson" was never answered and now is no longer in service. After a few weeks of constant calling, another person returned our call stating that everything was on track for a closing day of ******. That date came and went. After more calling, another closing date was set. We are now at that date with no one answering the phone again. Help!!!!!!

This company is definitely a scam. I sent them $2100.00 and communicated with them for about 8 weeks. Everything seemed to be going along great then all of a sudden I couldn't get in touch with anyone. It's like they vanished. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't spoken with anyone during that time. If anyone knows how I may be able to get my money back, please let me know.

Big time rip off!!! They also go by other names such as instant results financial and others very similar. They change their names, but always end with god bless you, as they are ripping you off. I know what comes around goes around, so these people will feel the pain they have caused their fellow human beings 10 fold. I hope the money they stole from me causes nothing but pain and sorrow for them and their families.
They are what is wrong with this country today, and they are going to be held accountable soon Mr. King, Mr. Watson, Mr. Cooper and whatever other name you want to call yourself. How about Mr Asshole, Mr Scumbag, Mr Douchebag?

I BELIEVE THIS IS A SCAM.I HAVE SENT THEM ALMOST $2000 AND THEY REFUSE TO SEND ME A CONTRACT BY MAIL (I THINK THEY ARE AFRAID OF MAIL FRAUD?)WILL COMMENT LATER IF THEY ACTUALLY SELL MY TIMESHARE. ALSO I BELIEVE THEY ARE SELLING REAL ESTATE WITHOUT A LICENCE.

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. IT IS POTENTIALLY A SCAM. I AM ALERTING THE PENNSYLVANIA ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE US ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE BBB.
I am an attorney in Pennsylvania and I ALMOST got scammed by this company. So BEWARE!! I am a real person, a real consumer, and there's my REAL picture with my REAL fiance to prove it (looking good....!). Anyone who had a POSITIVE experience with this company should post THEIR REAL PICTURE and not a cartoon of a pirate or anything else.
**FOLLOW UP FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW OF 11/12: In response to the review I posted here AND on other websites, and to calls I made to the PA Attorney General and the US Attorney General: I received a call at my home from "Mike Davidson" from this Company. Nice guy. He heard the entire story of mine, verified it with the people in his company and told me that he had to fire the "Bradley Cooper" salesman with whom I was connected and who presented the sales pitch of sending Instant Results almost $2,000 and then sending me what was acknowledged as a "fake" purchase agreement in my email for me to sign - "until the real one comes in the mail". The purchase agreement WAS NOT with the buyer that I was told was going to buy my timeshare and the deal was completely "different" (nice word)". The resolution to this dilemna was that "Mike" was going to find me a "real" buyer for my timeshare and get back to me - because we are still interested in selling (FOR REAL). Mike told me it would take about a month. I will follow up.
BUT..... they DID want me to send them $1900 via wire transfer (to Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati - and they are supposedely in Los Angeles????) and I refused. They still have not told me what kind of safeguards I get for sending them the money upfront. I personally don't do business like this and I have been told by MANY professionals that NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY UP FRONT TO SELL REAL ESTATE. TIMESHARES ARE INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY AND ARE THEREFORE....... REAL ESTATE.
IN THIS CASE............. SELLER BEWARE! (to be continued if they EVER call back with a REAL transaction...........).
THE STORY: I was contacted at my home Nov. 11(vetday) afternoon by a sales representative (Tina Cauffman) from Los Angeles (have her phone number which is registered as "Angleles Ca Los"????) who represented that she could sell my timeshare with NO commission paid my me and NO closing costs paid my me. Represented very clearly (about ten times that I asked) that we would pay nothing. Represented that she had a retired gentleman who was using part of his retirement to buy specifically a time share at Bonnet Creek (which we own) to help take his grandkids there for Christmases (what a line of crap that was - but I bought it!!!).
She told me that SHE had to go to a meeting, but that her financial closing person would call me to give me more information about how a closing of real estate happens NOT IN PERSON -- WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY!!! (I was curious - I am a real estate attorney and never heard of closing a real estate deal without an attorney!!!).
The person called. His "name" is "Bradley Cooper" (don't know if its real - complaints about Bradley Cooper on other internet sites). But the problem is not with "him". The problem is then that he fast talks me, doesn't answer my questions, so I finally tell him to send me a contract so that I can review it. He tells me that I only have until tomorrow morning at 9am to SIGN IT?????? Don't fall for that EVER EVER EVER. You should always be given time to review documents - at least five days if you need it.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM TO AVOID - WITH THIS AND ALL COMPANIES - After Tina Cauffman told me that I would not be responsible for any costs or commissions, the ONE PARAGRAPH SALES CONTRACT (Honestly - really - a one paragraph real estate sales contract) - is that it called for ME (the SELLER) to pay this INSTANT RESULTS COMPANY $2300 (not exactly) UP FRONT - INTO A BANK ACCOUNT?????????????????/
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER PAY UP FRONT TO SELL OR RENT ANYTHING ANYTHING ANYTHING!!! If a sales person/company cannot sell/rent your property and take the commission when they do it - they are NOT LEGITIMATE and it is NOT A COMMISSION.
SELLER BEWARE OF INSTANT FINANCIAL ANYTHING!!!!
Their roots can only be traced back to September of 2010!!!

After getting a call from this company about selling our timeshare, I asked the community if they knew anything about them. I then asked them how long they had been in business and what their CA license or business number was. I did get a reply from the person we had been talking to, saying he had been employed there for a year and a half and that the company had been in business for four year. This happened last week. They supposedly had a buyer already qualified to buy our timeshare. Their fee was $1895.00 - up front. I find it surprising that they have not contacted us again if they are really a legitimate company and not a scam.

I received a call from "Bradley Cooper" and was told there was a buyer for my timeshare -- and named a very large company. I asked how they got my name, timeshare info and was told they go through the deeds - how I do not know. I was given the phone number 213-784-9369 and I have not tried to call it. A copy of the proposal was sent by e-mail and the print was so fine it was not readable. I was told he would call today at a certain time and did -- asked exactly how the money would be paid and the answer was a bit questionable -- all electronic of course. I was told the decision to sell the entire timeshare to this company had to be made by tomorrow but thought he could get an extension. I replied that it would be Monday before I could talk again about the sale and said I needed to contact my attorney and my timeshare company in the meantime. He was going to send another proposal that was readable and then was going to call back this afternoon to see if the time could be extended -- neither happened probably due to mentioning an attorney. Felt it was a scam from the beginning and then after reading on TrustLink that their website was created 9/30/2010 it did not add up to his 11 years of employment with this company. They also are the escrow company which does not happen in a legitimate company -- escrow and agent are always two different companies. Honesty is the thing of the past.

Just got a call from "Tim Rollins" (at least that is what he called himself).
Would NOT give out general public info. about the company ... humm.
Stated they got an email from one of my friends that I want to sell my Timeshare and would NOT disclose by whom... humm. The number he gave me to call him back on NEVER offered even to take a message.... just rang 25 times. NO repeatable company would not at least offer a simple answering machine message -- This is the number he gave me to call back on; 213-493-6765.
This has "scam" written all over it. I also asked where they make their money if they do not charge me anything... by the financing. Hummm makes sense, but I am sure "they" want to close it with "their" holding company... and probably will never pay you your money after they change the (if you have) deeded Timeshare to their name. Watch Out!
