Timeshare Scams and Fraud

We had just purchased a timeshare from Holiday Inn Orange Lake Resorts May 2012. A couple months later, you know, the time when you're second guessing your timeshare purchase, we received a phone call from someone (don't remember their name) from Access Travel Network wanting to rent out our "extra RCI weeks" from our timeshare. They claimed that they had huge companies that rent rooms by volume so that they can send employees down for big conferences or special events. They said that these companies are willing to pay an extremely high amount to ensure that they get enough rooms for their entire group of employees. I told him that I would think about it and discuss it with my husband when he got home from work. Of course, he pressured me because Super Bowl weekend w... Read More

I was told they had a buyer for my Myan palace timeshare in Mexico. I received the contract and it seemed legit. I had to pay my past due maintenance and sent them the money. Then I was turned over to the escrow company Morgan financial ltd and paid more fees to be returned at closing. As time went on they wanted more money and that is when I felt it was a scam. I sent them a cancellation letter and was assured I would get my money. At the last minute they told me I had to pay a cancellation fee. I said no way. There was nothing in the contracts about cancellation fee. Ithey have 5000$ of my money and horizon has shut down their phones. I am going to report this to the FBI Internet crime complaint center.

I entered into an agreement with Timeshare Resale Source back in March of 2013. The company seemed legitimate since they have a web site, physical address, phone numbers, people that answer the phone, etc., etc. I spoke with a sales rep (i.e., Michael) at least 4 or 5 times throughout the week to make sure I thoroughly understood the offer. He told me the market value of my timeshare was between 18,900 to 21,000K and the contract I signed with them guaranteed that if they hadn't sold my timeshare after 10 months of marketing my timeshare on their venues, they would purchase my timeshare for the market price/value. To make a long story short, I paid them $1,000 and then found out that it was a SCAM based on reviews from other disgruntled chumps. I've tried a dozen times to re... Read More

We were contacted by Access in Nov 2012 asking to sell our timeshares they needed 10 weeks, so we said yes sent them $1490.00 Nov 23 2012 . In April about the the 18th 2013 we were contacted by Mr Davis 561-244-5460 said he was with access and he had sold our 10 weeks. We were to send 1500.00 for condo fees to a Mr Alvarado in Middleton Florida which we did through Western Union MTCN # 401-398-2487 when they received the money he would call us and send our money to us. Well needless to say we are at June 20th Mr Davis does not answer his phone and we have not received any money. Spoke with Access and they said there law firm is looking into it.

Sent $894.00 to CTC on 1/31 to rent weeks that CTC said that I had from RCI. Wired additional funds on 6/12 to REC East for taxes on property and wired on 6/14 to REC East $1975.32 for attorney's fees.
