I didn't do it of course and told them they never informed me of a fee i had to pay first in order to get the money. They said it was a new thing as before you can just apply for this certificate for foreigner and now i have to pay them (they said like the government wants in on the money we are making as well). Anywho, as i didn't send them the money, i just received a phone call from palladium saying they are releasing my weeks this friday as i had breach the contract, they are releasing it to franklin escrow services, i had 1 choice, since i already paid for the weeks, to pay all the inclusive at once. This number seemed legit from palladium as i called back and they said "thank you for calling palladium, someone will be with you shortly". I honestly was convinced and about to make the wire transfer. I emailed palladium myself and right when i was about to make the transfer, i got a phone call from palladium telling me this was all a scam and they are not allow to give away my weeks to another company, nor am i allow to even sell my weeks to another company. They are investigating and for me to block the scammer's number. They appreciated that i personally contacted them. I am shocked at how well planned out these people are, involving all these other companies etc and phone numbers but i think it all came down to the same people sitting in the room pretending to be other companies. Was fishy when olta called me back said they spoke with franklin regarding what happened, i was thinking, how could they have talked so fast when i just got off the phone with franklin.
PLEASE DON'T BE SCAM BY THESE EXPERTS. I am still shocked at how planned out they are.
It all started with a phone call from a Mr. Don Moore who represented himself as an agent from Olta Travel US out of Birmingham, Alabama with a proposal to sell our timeshare. This was a package deal that comprised liquidating all of our holdings of Vidanta, Nuevo Vallarta Mexico's "The Estates," that we had acquired over 25 years. The figure quoted was well into the 7 figures, not totally unbelievable considering the current "Rack Rate" that some people pay, but certainly well above our investment.
I went to check out Olta Travel and found that they are a Russian Based Travel Company that books vacation travel packages as well as sells time shares. So far so good. I then checked out their references from their website. All were very positive, but bear in mind that they were on Olta's website. Next I checked with the Secretary of State of Alabama and could NOT find their business registered with the State of Alabama. Red Flag #1. I confronted Don Moore regarding this and also that they weren't in the Better Business Bureau (which is not necessarily a red flag). He said he would get back to me on my licensing question. He never did.
The next thing to happened after returning the "Letters Of Intent" to sell our holdings, was that we received the contract from Mr. Valentine Galluzzo, Senior Escrow Officer of the Great Lakes Title & Escrow Company, LLC, whose address was 1784 Taliaferro Trail, Suite B, Montgomery, Alabama. They are the title company that Olta Travel deals with.
I started once again to check to see if they were listed with the State of Alabama and DID find reference to Great Lakes Title & Escrow Company, LLC at the above address. But I didn't stop there. After several hours of checking businesses adjacent to the 1784 address, I was successful in speaking with a gentleman who graciously took the time to go over to the 1784 address, leave my name and number, and return to tell me that THERE WAS NO ONE THERE BY THE NAME OF GREAT LAKES TITLE & ECROW COMPANY! This gentleman did say that the building was occupied by a single tenant, an attorney. The attorney did contact me a short time later and said that was the one who originally formed the Great Lakes Title & Escrow Company on November 11, 2005 by a woman who operated this as a business for several years but recently decided to close the doors and go out of business. I guess you can see where this is going. Whoever is using this address is performing a fraud. In fact the attorney told he that he has made several calls to the phone number listed on the stationery and told them to cease and desist from using his address as their place of business only to have them hang up.
I've gone through this rather lengthy explanation to show how sophisticated these scam companies are. Unless they take the time (and it does take a lot of time with lots of roadblocks in the way) to INDEPENDENTLY check on the authenticity of these companies, they could become unsuspecting victims of these scammers.
SO BY ALL MEANS, AVOID DOING BUSINESS WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES!
