Timeshare Scams and Fraud

Dalewood Properties, out of Denver, Colorado and Develop Funding Sources, out of Chicago, Illinois, worked in conjunction with one another, relative to a time share in Puerto Vallarta, Villa del Palmar and scammed me out of $13907.32.

I sent my bank wires to banks in Mexico, and now I'm afraid that I'll never see that money again.

Another web site is: www.developfundingsources.com

I have contacted the attorney general in Colorado and the attorney general in Illinois.

Can someone please help me track these criminals down and prosecute them to the full extent of the law?

Thank you, JPC

Is this company legitimate?? Has anyone out there had a favorable outcome from them?? The website seems ok and the people have been great keeping me informed every step of the way.

Should I worry??

I attended a presentation on 5-21-12. I was supposed to get a call in August from PRL regarding my points and reserving points for maintenance fees so I would I would not have to pay out of pocket for yearly maintenance.

This is a typical timeshare scam. The company called me to purchase my timeshare. After saying that I would NOT have to pay any money upfront, we signed a sales agreement - then they wanted me to pay for Mexican taxes upfront ($2256) or they threatened me to charge 12% of the purchase price as a cancellation fee. they said the money is in a non reimbursable account and the amount transferred cannot be changed to the full purchase price minus the taxes.
Their website is only 2 months old and has duplicate content with another site made earlier this year where people reported as scam.

I received a call from a pretty legitimate sounding salesperson. She knew when I had purchased a timeshare in June of this year and said that the bonus weeks that came with that were about to expire and that I could rent/sell them for $1500 each. She said I had 12 bonus weeks about to expire. She showed me an RCI page on line where you can sell weeks to friends or family and she said we could use that avenue to sell the "about to expire bonus weeks we owned". She said the units would be rented out within 60-90 days. The only thing I had to do was pay the $149.00 per unit that would release the units to be sold to her clients. She said I would not be charged until I signed the contract, but that she needed my credit card information to start the process. When I questione... Read More
