Timeshare Scams and Fraud
Planet Travel and Newport International Investments - Planet Travel , LC
They called me (Strike #1 in the scam game) with a buyer at a very good price (Strike #2). I said I was interested but I wanted to make sure there was no upfront money. George agreed, in writing (he always wanted to use the phone but I forced him to use email), that there wouldn't be any. Sure enough, a week or so later, they were telling me that I had to pay 5 weeks of maintenance in advance and that I could wire the money to an escrow acct in Mexico (Strike #3 - you're out!). George told me that if I paid the timeshare directly, they would then ignore the sale since they "had me locked in for five years."
