Contacted by Andrew Frechette who claims to be deaf and his broker Aaron Ganit to purchase timeshare. Andrew Frechette claims to be in some type of study for an experimental hearing device and can not wire the money to set up an escrow account. He then sends you the amount that the timeshare costs and ask you to send it to his broker who he only trusts in Egypt. I believe this is some type of money laundering. You then wire the money thruogh Wester Union to Aaron Ganit's assistant Beltran Ohaeri. Then you get another response from them asking to wire more money because the amount projected for closing cost is more then they thought. After you wire the additional money, you never are able to then make any contact with either Andre, Aaron , or his assistant.

Offer to buy timeshare for 32,000.00 but requires that the seller send a monetary deposit to show good faith. Amount is 10% or 3,200.00. Received an initial document to show interest followed by a phone call from Mr. Cox and then a contract. Upon reading the contract, it was clear that it was not written by a competent individual and it was at that time that the deposit was demanded. Numerous contradictions were noticeable and terms that almost guaranteed breach that subjected the seller to monetary consequences. I have the unsigned contract

I gave him my price and he said she would put 20% in escrow. After many talks I agreed to my giving them $ 1,998.00' to sell it. He then said he was turning it over to his PA to complete the transaction. His name was Stephan Sheldon., and he would call me every few days to tell me how things were going. The closing would be around the end of May.He also did a "conference call" with a Michael Smith who was the Bank of America loan officer that was loaning Mrs. Cooper some $ to close the deal. I have since found out this was also a lie. He also said he knew that I had another timesh... Read More
