Timeshare Scams and Fraud

I made 6 bank transfers totaling $20,280.00 which were to be "fully refundable and included in the final payout" of $52,280.00. This was in order to sell a timeshare that I own.
The company does not respond to my inquiries by phone or email>

My mother owns a couple weeks @Vistana Resort, Orlando FL. She lives in Caracas, Venezuela; doesn't speak english and is 64years old.
A month ago, my mother received a call from a company called International Timeshare Services, who happen to have all her contact details also the information about how many weeks she had available @Vistana. This company ask my mom for $200 for each week she had available and they will sell each of them in $2,800 and $3,000. They confirmed they already have a company event from Toyota that wanted those weeks; they pressured her so much: many phone calls, asking her to get the money from wherever she could and it needed to be fast because Toyota needed the weeks for the event right way.

The company kept putting me off when I'd call...making excuses - couple buying my timeshare is divorcing, saying "Well these things take time", "We are just waiting on the buyers..." In April of 2013 I was told to call back in June, as they would know more about the status of my sale......Now I feel totally scammed.....I paid them $1500.00 on my Master Card...
