RDE - A gentle request - please keep all posts on this topic, in this thread, instead of starting new threads. It is counter-productive to fragment the information.

Got it. Sorry...new to the whole BBS thing. Will make sure to post everything here in the future. Thank you so much for your help.

You would just be shoveling sand against the tide. All they would do is re-open next week under a different name. The best way to combat them would be to join with TUG and other responsible users to spread the word of not buying into intangibles. That includes 'Right-to Use', and Vacation Clubs. If you don't understand it, and see value there, for crying out loud, don't give up your hard-earned money.

Jim,

Thanks and sage advice for the future. I already feel like I am hitting my head against the proverbial wall and wish that I would have listened to my gut when I was sitting there in front of that pushy sales rep. No matter, already talking with an AG, the BBB and the FTC trying to determine what, if anything can be done to take direction action against the business and quite possibly the owners. They hide quite effectively behind the LLC for R&R Venture Group (dba Cornerstone Processing) and Resort Destinations & Exchange. Just need to be patient I guess and let the authorities handle the matter.

Speaking of the authorities, does anyone know where they are selling this week? Might have to fly into the location and see if I can throw a curveball into the wheels.

Shame! Shame! Shame! We all know your names.

Wow! So its been a bit of time and I have found out so much about this company called Resort Destinations & Exchange. Apparently this company is the brain child of none other than Mr. Robert Guy Russell, the owner of R&R Venture Group aka R&R Closings, and most recently Cornerstone Processing LLC, all of which are running and operating out of Las Vegas. Through my research, it turns out that Mr. Russell has been pulling the same type of sales gig for years now, just changing company names to meet the conditions of the market. From the way it looks on my end, when one company becomes poison, it closes down and changes names. There has been Point Rental Liquidators, TEC, EPS, AVD, VSI and I am sure many many more as partners with his business. I think though that Resort Destinations and Exchange (RDE) is my favorite however because of this lovely video that was sent to me. You'll have to watch it closely, to see it...I did.

After I watched the video, something kept bothering me and I couldn't put my finger on it until I was rereading some of my printed copies of company websites. Apparently each testimonial shown on Resort Destinations & Exchange's video came from Vacation Services International's website: http://vacationservicesinternational.com/

I called VSI to ask them if they were affiliated with Cornerstone Processing, R&R Venture Group, R&R Closing Group or any of the other names they went by and the phrase "Good God NO!" came out followed by apologies and polite suggestions for me to seek legal help when dealing with any of the above named entities related to Mr. Russell and company.

So...that being said, today I hopped onto the FTC website and submitted everything I have, to include this nice video. Hope they them.

Status Update

Just learned that these guys are out peddling their wares in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you got friends out that way who fit the target demographic, call them and let them know that buyer beware.

Me...still waiting for my refund check. Had some interesting exchanges w/ their attorney who leaves much to be desired in the way he conducts himself.

Again, that Cornerstone Processing who is owned by Robert Russell, the same Robert Russell who is the owner of Resort Destinations and Exchange. Oh yeah, also learned that he also goes by Ryan Roberts. That's right if you hear the name Ryan Roberts just know that its Robert "Guy" Russell.
