Timeshare Scams and Fraud

December of 2011 we sent $3600.00 to Premier Property stating that a fee to the Mexican government for taxes was required before sale of our timeshare property. We tried contacting them afterwards and could get no reply back.

I got a call saying that they had a buyer for my time share & that they would FedEx the documents to me the next day with a $27,000 check. The pkg didn't come. Then they called and stated that $1808 had to be put on green dot cards so that it would be seen as escrow then the documents would be sent. They weren't. A $1300 tax issue came up and they would direct deposit the check into my bank acct. I said no mail a certified check. I got a call from an assistant saying they needed my acct. no. and I said no they then passed me off to another associate who hung up on me and I have heard nothing since. The money on the green cards has disappeared.

I heard from these people daily(sometimes several times a day), until I wired them the last amount they asked for, and have not heard a word since. That was almost a month ago. The date on the contract is 8/20/2012 and the contract says that it will be closed in 30 days after all is done. So far no word, and phone calls gets only Jennifer's voice mail. Her number is 702-330-4211
What do you know about these peole?

I read about timeshare scams involving Aaron Ganit and wanted to submit a complaint. I too, have been contacted by a Frank Tesoro stating he was a private buyer and wanted to buy my timeshare. He stated he was deaf and his attorney (Aaron Ganit) would handle the paperwork. Frank stated he was mailing a check and that he wanted me to mail it to Aaron Ganit because Frank would be out of town for 6 weeks. He also stated that Aaron was out of the country on business. I was informed by e-mail that a cashier's check was mailed to me. I have not received it and will not do anything with it upon receipt.
I would like some assistance in this matter. I have all of the e-mail correspondence and will probably receive the cashier's check in the mail. Frank also stated that he would be deal... Read More

This company called asking if I was interested in selling my timeshare. I said Yes, as long as there was no advance fee or money sent ahead of time. They said there was not and that someone would send me an offer. They did, for twice the amount I paid for it. Ofcourse today I got the contract, and they are telling me they want me to send 8% of the sales price to them ahead of time, and that if I breach the contract they will keep it. The contract has all sorts of potential breachable paragraphs. I also don't see them licensed on the Department of Real estate site, althought they claim to be a property management, and rental company (among other things). Anything asking for an upfront fee, when they say they are going to pay you has to be a scam
