Like so many others I was dumb enough to send a $2175 "deposit". I got a few emails and phone calls so I felt that maybe they were legit. However, when I tried to contact the month before closing no one answered the phones and the web site disappeared. ("agent" today said said emails/letters went to all clients informing them of their move across country.-I never saw anything)
Today I got a call (couldn't understand his name) saying that I had an international buyer and since GWF wasn't doing the financing I had to send money for the transfer. I asked why/explained that I wasn't giving them another penny, etc. until he could prove GWF was more than a con. The more questions I asked the more hostile the "agent" got. I just hung up.

This company called me in January, 2012 and told me that they had a buyer for my Timeshare. They asked me to give them $2,175 which I did Jan. 28, 2012. Now, their phone has been turned off and they don't even have a website that is up and running. What recourse do I have?
