Got a call from Mr. Deroche that he had a buyer for my timeshare. Price was very good. Saw the complaint on this site and Mr Hopkins said it was a misunderstanding. Ms Franco confirmed $33,800 in an escrow account. On suspicion of potential fraud, I asked my lawyer to cover the closing. This was encouraged by Mr. Hopkins. Manager (Doug Hopkins) demanded seller to wire $3,000 before releasing $32,800 of funds held by a fake escrow company (American Title Corporation). Normally escrow company distribute sales proceed, but the sale manager insisted that seller must either wire the fund or pay with credit card $3,000 first. Please beware that American Title Corporation is not related to First American Title, but an independent company.
