Timeshare Scams and Fraud
Category: Timeshare Resale
Company Name: R. Associates Real Estate (said he was "associated with Remax" but wasn't

A man said he had a buyer for our timeshare. He used a reputable agent's name with reputable company. The contract said we would pay 10% binder or earnest money that we would get refunded at time of sale. Said that binder and all buyer's expenses and sale price had been deposited in escrow and they were just waiting for us to sign the contract. The contract included an agreement to give them power of attorney. Who knows what he had in mind to do with that! The fraud even sent me a link to the R.E. license information. Everything seemed to check out. I used the Internet (instead of his link) to search for the real estate license and got the TRUE phone number and talked to the TRUE real estate agent who's name had been misused. So glad I didn't sign anything or send any money!
