Using high pressure tactics, they continue to call, make offers.Then, I would have to send wire transfers to a Mexican attorney. Something would always complicate the issue and then would need more money. Then, you naturalization papers, they would need tax lien numbers, then they would need permits and then something expired.And then there was investigation charge, and so on and so on. They made a complete fool out of me.And sadly, I know I am not the only one. These guys need to be stopped.And hopefully incarcerated.

Contacted to sell my timeshare. GIven a purchase agreement from a supposed lawyer in New York looking to purchase luxury resort timeshares for his client.

Was also contacted by a supposed legendary vacation corporate officer to help with the transfer. They returned the first wire sent and asked I resend it because it was returned for accounting purposes, they were going through a tax audit.

Adrian from Strongtowerrealty-llc called and offered to buy the time share with no money up front. only 6% commission after the sale. emailed back and forth with offers and counter offers. before calling with a broker to finalize. at which point they started talking about international payments and paying for setting up an account to receive the funds.

Said they would find a buyer for my time share points. Came back and said he had a solid offer of $112,500.00. Then when going thru the final explanation over the phone said the buyer was in Mexico and they would set up a trust in the amount. What I needed to do was to register as the recipient of foreign money in excess of $10,000.00. This registration had to be made prior to closing and receiving the monies. This registration would cost up to $10,000.00. Informed them I did not have that money, they kept pushing me to see if I could borrow it from a bank, friend, relative, etc. I had told them on first contact that I would not front any money. He kept pushing and I finally hung up. Did not sound right.

I received a phone call stating that I was one of the original members of Legendary Timeshare and that I had been granted shares of the company since I was an OG. All I needed to do was sign an agreement to let them manage the shares. They will take 10% of the proceeds and send the rest. They were very persistent.

We got a call from Keith Price from Flexx Vip about selling our weeks from RCI. We sold 10 weeks. It was stated when you sale your weeks you pay for them. Then you get your money back from the person who buys your week. We had heard about doing this at our timeshare meeting. So, that is why we thought nothing about doing it. We just attended another timeshare meeting. When we asked about it we

told it was a scam. We signed a contract with Flexx VIP their marketing company Luxury Marketing. They have a website that lists timeshares for rent or sale from all over. They give you a number that is suppose show your weeks you are selling. We currently show 6 weeks,when we asked about the other four weeks. They stated they are pending. After we got out of the meeting. We started looking up reviews. There are not a lot, I think they are just starting to come in. We were told at the meeting these scammers are good. There is a loop hole in the law. That allows any realtor to go and look up your information about your purchase of a timeshare. This was done May 17, 2024 calling them you have to leave messages or no answer. At the beginning we got answered or calls back, not any more. This seems to be a big scam affecting timeshare owners.

This all started with a phone call from Realty Advisory asking if I was interested in selling my vacation packages. Since I had three that I was not using I was inclined to say yes. Although the dollar amount was way more than I paid for they assured me this a legal and binding sale. Once I signed the contract things began to get out of has and the amount of fees I was required to pay to Mexico were stacking up.

Jason Moore the broker and Teresa Donavan ( TRUSTWAYSERVICE) the escrow company have managed to scam me out of thousands of dollars in fees with no payout of the vacancy packages they attended to sell.

The apparent CEO of Realty Advisory Group Sara Warner is the person who put the money up for the purchase after the first buyer backed out.

Do not fall for this scam, you’ll be broke before you know it.

I was solicited by International Real Estate LLC to buy a vacation club membership in Cancun. There was never an intent to actually buy the membership but to persuade me into paying a tax and closing costs to this fraudulent company. The company has a registered LLC in the state of New York but has a fake address. I contacted the property manager at the address they list and he responded there is no tenant by that name in the building. I was being contacted by this company every 2-3 days with high pressure tactics. Once I confronted them with the information supplied by the property manager of the address they use, all communication stopped.

Amanda Robinson called and left a message about a way to use "unused Interval International" guest certificates to rent our Marriott timeshare property in Williamsburg, VA rather than just let the certificates expire. She left her personal number (321) 252-0388 and a toll free "guest member services" number to call her back (800) 217-5040 for more information. I called back and she ("Amanda") detailed how there was high demand from conference planners in the Williamsburg area for properties for their conference goers. As Marriott and Interval members, we had 12 guest certificates, good for one week at our property, to use per year - if we paid 399. for each certificate, we could recoup 1,600 in rent for that week. They would send a contract; we would authorize a charge on our credit card after we signed the contract; we had ten days to cancel. "Amanda" transferred us to three other people, each person had a different title "accounts specialist" "contract specialist" - and they all used the terms and language of Interval, Marriott, and timeshares "deeded weeks," "deposits," "in-season" "high season" and more. They emailed us a contract to sign. It all looked and sounded legit. But we should have asked more questions, OR called Interval or Marriott Timeshares. A few weeks later when we called the numbers, they were disconnected. The website is sketchy, and no longer allows us to log in with the name and password they originally sent us. We lost $1,600 to these dirtbags.

Initially contacted by phone. Stated that they have a potential buyer for vacation package. Offered over $100k for the vacation package. Sent an email back with information regarding the vacation package. A few days later, received a notice from citibanamex regarding opening an irrevocable trust account. Filled out the paperwork and the next day an account statement indicating the amount was shown on a statement as deposited into the trust account. After a phone call with this “Bob Drake”, Bob mentioned that everything is in order for the sale, just need the legal department to draw up the purchase agreement. Bob also mentioned that SAT registration would be required and that the SAT is similar to the IRS in the US. Stated that SAT/IRC number is required for all real estate transactions in Mexico and there are 3 ways to obtain. One to personally visit Mexico and apply personally, another is to pay a private attorney in Mexico to act as power of attorney, and third option is to have this service provided by an attorney they work with for a fee. Bob didn’t have the amount of the fee available on call, but would follow up within a few days. A couple days later, received a purchase agreement with a requirement for SAT registration for a fee just shy of $6k. Paperwork identified Trustway Services as Title/Escrow Agent, buyer representative (Teresa Donovan), Robert Drake (Broker)

My husband received a telephone call from the timeshare company. He wanted to sell his timeshare and thought this was the perfect time to sell it. We entered into a contract and submitted the first payment of $1745.00 with a wire transfer from our bank. Next, the company wanted an additional payment of $2345.00 which we sent from our bank by a wire transfer. Our bank official wanted to make sure we weren't being scammed and we both said "No".

We knew we were being scammed when another payment of $5,500.00 to pay Dominican taxes was needed.

A lightbulb went off! We lost our money. The amounts also included wire transfer fees.

The contract also listed the "alleged buyer's information such as name, address, etc. An email to him went unanswered.

I also did a scam report with the FBI. So far, we haven't heard from them.

Email was sent about disclosure meeting for Bluegreen owners on January 5 at a Hilton Hotel. Eileen 479-325-5031 was her number. She discussed the sale of Bluegreen to Hilton and all the scare tactics and we were given opportunity to exit our timeshare. We paid 5900.00. Then about a week later received an email and call from a Thompson and associates law firm in New Jersey. I do not know if they are legit. I have investigated everything about the law firm and things do not add up. We did send info on timeshare and regretted it. This made me investigate more both the law firm and Corporate consulting associates and found all to be a scam.

I was initially contacted by a Mark Dyer. He then sent me an email telling me that I could sell my vacation package for $92,972. After much hemming and hawing and some research that apparently wasn’t very thorough, I paid the registration fee that they said I needed to do business in Mexico. So then told me I needed another $3500 for something else than a $16,000 for a tax payment then an additional $34,500 + for the customers fee. I did not have that final amount so I had to decline. I lost all that money as well as my vacation club. I told them over and over again that this would be a financial devastation for my husband and I and they assured me that it is not a scam. Come to find out. It absolutely is a scam and now my husband and I are in financial distress.

I was contacted by phone regarding my time share. The person claimed to want to buy it and sent an email offer to purchase. The name on the offer was Patrick Nealon .

I went online to check company out as it seemed too good to be true. There were numerous tales from others who said they had lost money to phony sales that never went through, even after paying "service fees" or "sales taxes" to facilitate the sale.

This was a time share buyback deal with this company and another company, A Trusted Name, LLC phone 9176721943. Each of there websites were similarly designed with no ability to expand anything on the site.

Patrick Neelan (? Spelling) also called from 6466478737 representing himself as the head seller.

As the title company rep, Alexander Rossi, presented me with a Mexican bank, bbva, for the “trust” which was for a fidecomiso, I questioned this process and didn’t give anymore information. A fidecomiso is nothing like the American trust we are used to and does NOT allow for moneys to be held for transfer.

The scammer said he represented a company RCR-resorts condos resale, & called me saying he had buyers for my Timeshare in St. Marten in the Caribbean. I was to receive all money given over a 6 month period held in escrow plus the sale price totaling $84,000. Promised date was May 23rd, 2023. I was to receive a call from their bank to transfer $$ to my bank account. I haven’t heard from Brian Woods since in spite of trying to make contact via phone & text messages. Another name with RCR Carl Mathe accounting general manager, appears on a document: There was a request to send money payment to his Chase bank account:535765298:routing# 021000021. Personal address given: 33East 74th St., Lennox Hills, NY 10021. Note: l was told that because the Timeshare was out of the country the fees requested from me were necessary to complete the sale-even fees charged by the Resort - the Royal Islander Club Le Plage, St. Marten. I had a Payment Protection Agreement which claimed that if buyers backed out of the sale, that all my payments would be returned. That was not the case. When l called the resort, l was told that l had been scammed.

They spoke with my lawyer, sent my lawyer documents. They are using other lawyers and brokers licenses. The contract is flawless, they tell you no upfront cost, the money will be waiting on an escrow account. Then you sign the contract. Then u have 48 hours to pay the foreign tax registration fee 6,190.38 dollars or you will be held liable for the cancelation contract where you owe the buyer and broker. I went to NY personally b4 sending any money, so thankful I did. The office is an apartment complex, which I googled prior to going, and they convinced me it was an office. Too many red flags. Feel bad for the people whos license they are using!
