Timeshare Scams and Fraud

We have invested roughly $3979.00 in selling our resort with this company. They contacted us, we sent the money, was sent a contract, sent money for closing, and now cannot contact them. They refuse to answer our class, emails, or texts. I am very frustrated and want our money NOW!

We brought a pre-filled form, which they would not sign, but they did give us a properly dated cancellation letter stating our credit card charge would be refunded within two weeks. I also advised my credit card company the same day that I was disputing the charge. Two weeks have passed and so far the money has not been refunded. I phoned Royal Diamond Resorts after two weeks. ... Read More
