Timeshare Scams and Fraud

Dalewood Properties, out of Denver, Colorado and Develop Funding Sources, out of Chicago, Illinois, worked in conjunction with one another, relative to a time share in Puerto Vallarta, Villa del Palmar and scammed me out of $13907.32.

Development Funding Sources Chicago address: 233 South Wacker Drive
Chicago, Illinois 60606
Phone: 312-428-4398

I sent my bank wires to banks in Mexico, and now I'm afraid that I'll never see that money again.

Another web site is: www.developfundingsources.com

I have contacted the attorney general in Colorado and the attorney general in Illinois.

Can someone please help me track these criminals down and prosecute them to the full extent of the law?

Thank you, JPC

Is this company legitimate?? Has anyone out there had a favorable outcome from them?? The website seems ok and the people have been great keeping me informed every step of the way. However, I am still waiting for the deal to be completed, and it is now going on 5 months. I am told there are a few stumbling blocks slowing the final papers.

Should I worry??

This is a typical timeshare scam. The company called me to purchase my timeshare. After saying that I would NOT have to pay any money upfront, we signed a sales agreement - then they wanted me to pay for Mexican taxes upfront ($2256) or they threatened me to charge 12% of the purchase price as a cancellation fee. they said the money is in a non reimbursable account and the amount transferred cannot be changed to the full purchase price minus the taxes.
Their website is only 2 months old and has duplicate content with another site made earlier this year where people reported as scam.

Contacted by Meridith Kennedy with all the informatiom regarding the sell and the website information. Talked with her serveral time that day 9-13-12. Followed up with Jennefer O'neal the finance manager with asking for this $1997. I looked at the website everything was in place even let a mentor of mind look at the contract before making a deposit into that account in bb&t in florida. These people have a person name Melissa Reinhartd in Orlando. Jennefer asked for another fee of $899 sent to Melissa in Orlando for westgate fees in Kissimme. They are good because I checked things out before deposiiting the money. All together was $2953. Jonathan tried his turn but I refused ti go any futher. Beware they are good at what they are doing. Of course can't get anyone the phone af... Read More

I was also scammed by a man named Anthony Frechette who contacted my timeshare by Timeshare by Owner website. I have the same complaint regarding Anthony who claimed he was hearing impaired, First Title would be the company to handle the offer and money should be wired to Mr. Aaron Ganit who was claiming to be the broker. I just received the check back claiming the name was a fraud. I guess I need to ask what should I do?
