Timeshare Scams and Fraud
scam/fraud - First American Title
Christine sent me a letter several times about buying my condo and I finally emailed her and said okay. She gave me offer and said because she was hearing impaired everything would be done through her broker and his associates. She would be leaving for 8 weeks but would keep in contact. She was going to send a check for $2900, $500 earnest money and the rest fees for the broker. I was to send the money thru moneygram. I did check the internet and I didn't find anything at that time. The check did come and I deposited it and I waited five days and nothing happened. So I thought the check was legitamate. We did as they ask and the next they said the fees were higher than they thought and needed another $300, she wanted me to take it out of the earnest money and she would return it with the final payment monies. He used a different name when he emailed her which made me think something was wrong and I started looking again and I finally found these complaints about them, even the same names. I feel so stupid, I even questioned them about fraud because of the phone number and they said it was a Turkey number and not knowing anything about that country I believed them. I am a senior with an invalid husband, don't get as desperate as I was, I was foolish and thought this was one bill I could get out from under and only made it worse.
