Timeshare Scams and Fraud

I was cold contacted at home by Frederick Collins a broker claiming to be from Simply Real Estate in NYC interested in making an offer on my Mexican Mayan timeshare. I told him I received several scams offering the same deal every week. Of course he said this made his job harder but he was legitimate. He already knew all of my information as it is likely public record or has been sold to many scammers. As usual, the tipoff that this was a scam was the offer of $69,000, a ridiculously high amount. A quick search shows that these scammers are imitating a true Real Estate company in that area with the same name. Avoid this fake company offering to buy your Mexican timeshare.

Another Scam operation contacting Mayan timeshare owners claiming to have a Famous Japanese buyer for over $50,000 and you are one of 10 in a "block" of Mexican timeshare owners who are also selling their timeshare to the same person.

Scammers requested victim wire money to Mexico to pay for non existent fees.

Victim was contacted out of the blue.

Scam operations website was registered and created on July of 2020. Claim to be located in New York City.

A legitimate business named "Simply Real Estate, LLC" is in business in Slate Hill New York. Scammers are pretending to be this company.
