Timeshare Scams and Fraud

We were contacted by TJ Ross, a representative asking us if we would like to sell our time share in Mexico. He was able to tell us where we owned and the amount of time we owned, therefore we considered this to be valid. We had been considering selling one of our time shares and this seemed like a good opportunity. We reviewed a sales contract and I had a friend of mine who deals with sales contracts review it as well. We signed the contract with OVP (Ocean View Properties) and waited to for the "Escrow" account to be opened. We then discussed with Robert Wieck the financial aspects of selling our property in Mexico. We received a fax telling how to pay the State and Federal Taxes that are reimbursable from the seller and money was added to our Escrow Account to co... Read More

Shaunna called said they have a buyer for our condo. Agreed to sell. Gets 20% from buyer and $1997 (refundable) from us. Sent me documents and requested I send $1997 to a "HOLDING" company (HERITAGE HOLDING) in Orlando. I asked too many questions, reported it to the BB&T bank in Orlando (thats where Heritage's account is). Tracked down their office on Howard Hughes Blvd. REGUS Office complex. Called them, and was told they have gotten several calls regarding Finance Development Corp. They do not have an office there. Jennifer never called back after I request more information and the phone number for Heritage....

We recieved an email offering $30,000 for our Villa del Palmar studio floating week in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Based on what we are reading on the web, we will not return the letter of intent to get the contract.

Contacted by Andrew Frechette who claims to be deaf and his broker Aaron Ganit to purchase timeshare. Andrew Frechette claims to be in some type of study for an experimental hearing device and can not wire the money to set up an escrow account. He then sends you the amount that the timeshare costs and ask you to send it to his broker who he only trusts in Egypt. I believe this is some type of money laundering. You then wire the money thruogh Wester Union to Aaron Ganit's assistant Beltran Ohaeri. Then you get another response from them asking to wire more money because the amount projected for closing cost is more then they thought. After you wire the additional money, you never are able to then make any contact with either Andre, Aaron , or his assistant.
