They claim their BBB rating is great, but that's a scam to! I think they have somehow created a false website to show their rating because when I tried to file a complaint on the site, it wouldn't allow me. If ICM Group (ICM Marketing Group) calls you HANG UP the phone. Trust me I lost my money dealing with these people. It was my mistake for believing their lies when they called me about selling my timeshare, and I hate to see anyone else get scammed like I did. My problems started in April 2010, when they convinced me to sign a contract with them to sell/rent my timeshare. They promised to actively advertise my property, when in fact all they did was put a general picture of the property on their website. I received a call from Jeffrey Smith on June 20, 2010, claiming they had a buying. I was not home, so I returned his call at the number provided [protected]), and of course I had to leave a message. I was so excited, because it had been a wild experience with this company, but I did not hear anything back from them. However, today, June 25, 2010, I got a call from them trying to sell me some extra time. They started with their whole scam, just as they did the day I got scammed, up until I told them, I already had a contract, and them they were quick to say, oh well I'm not in that department, but would you like to buy some more time. After telling them no again, and telling them once again, I already had a contract the telemarketer claimed to transfer me to someone to check on my contract. The next person I spoke with was a Jeffrey Smith, whom was the same person who I left the message for the previous week. I talked with him and told him that I got a message from him a week prior saying they had an interesting buyer, and of course, he didn't know what I was talking about. He asked my contract number and of course put me on hold to investigate it, and when he came back he told me they had people that are interested in my property and they were sure that they could get it sold, if I were to purchase some extra time. I was furious at this point, so to put it nicely for the readers here, I basically told him they have already screwed me once and weren't going to do it again. To I can't get my money back, but hope this will help someone else from being scammed. I read another complaint from someone who said they were a previous employee there, and can I believe everything they wrote, based on what I experience, and kudos to him for quitting that awful place. At least some people still have morals.

This is a great company that actually rented out my timeshare twice before they found me a buyer. i understand how cautious everyone is based on past experiences but to say their BBB report is fake thats just wrong if you call them directly they will tell you their report so please do your own investigating before you take this persons bad experience as your only reference I will refer them to anyone thats interested

Its a shame that these companies can stay in business for as long as they do. its a good thing websites like these exist to give potential victims insight into who they are about to do business with.

I havent heard of Drero Realty LLC/Premium Seasoned Trade Lines, but they sound like the same scamming fraudsters.

I gave them $650.00 over 2 and a half years ago and I never got one call from them once they got my money. NOT ONE CALL - NOT ANYTHING FROM THEM! THIS IS A SCAM...DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE VERY PUSHY AND WILL FORCE YOU INTO SIGNING A CONTRACT WITH THEM. DO NOT DO IT! THIS COMPANY IS FRAUDULENT AND MISLEADING. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR TIMESHARE...THIS IS A MAJOR SCAM. SELL YOUR TIMESHARE ON YOUR OWN...PUT IT ON CRAIGS LIST...DO NOT GIVE ANY OF THESE COMPANIES YOUR MONEY! DO NOT TRUST ICM-GROUP.NET THEY ARE NOT REPUTABLE!
SCAM, SCAM, SCAM...THAT'S WHAT ICM-GROUP (MARKETING TIMESHARE COMPANY) IS!
I'M SORRY BUT ICM MARKETING GROUP IS FULL OF IT! DON'T GIVE THEM A DIME! SPREAD THE WORD...WE NEED TO SHUT THIS COMPANY DOWN.
