Sierra Club Rental and Resales review: Possible new scam 125

Good Day Could anyone let me know is Priorty Escrow Transfers a fraud or not? They phone and ask for $1470.00 Fideicomiso tax due to the Mexican gov't then they called and ask for $3360.00 due to the Mexican gov't for an IVA tax TK's Larry

Recieved a phone call and this email today regarding Torrenza. Might be another scam….then again maybe a legit way to get back some of our money. Research it and see. Good Luck !

Its pretty sad to hear that this company is still around and still scamming people...where are the law enforcement to stop these horrible people... Sounds like they have a new scam going...non-profit my ###...scam people and take their hard earned money is what they do...DO NOT DEAL with these people... They were Sierra Club rentals and resales and they scammed 2000.00 out of me ...my story is still on here somewhere

What is a TIME SHARE?

I have been thinking about this for a long time and I think Sierra Club is the most ruthless cowards that I have ever seen, their cohorts went into a national forest in Oregon quite a few years back and destroyed about 20, 000 dollars worth of equipment owned by a logging company, if it wasnt for logging you ###s would not have toilet paper to wipe your ### ### and also your sierra club hats that you say you sell to make money, why are your hats made in China and not here in the good old United States, oh I know it costs more here in the states to make the hats, and we all know they use children to make these hats, and probably everything, you sell, right non-profit, that is more ###, a friend of mine gave me a few of your hats with sierra club on them I gave them to a friend, they made good targets, No I think sierra club sucks and nee to go to China and save their Country, you are not welcome here in the United States., no you do not need my phone number or name. Sierra Club keep on sending me forms to join or donate money for your worthless cause, but you can send me the 20, 000 dollars that it cost to replace the logging equipment that was destroyed, but the trees still got cut, to make your [censored] and build your houses, plus all the tons of paper you use everyday...you guys are full of ###...

This company is referred by the Royal Elite/Sandos resorts in Mexico, another scam company. They are deceitful and misleading, i would rather stay away very far away from them. This is another forum with more complaints made to royal elite timeshare sales tactics and sierra club rental and resales:

Yes you did. Lloydshare is a complete scam.

After Priority comes another company called Meritage Management out of Salt Lake City. Same old same old. Another scam. They go on and on but with different companies who must be receiving information from original lists.Gloria Stoner Canada

I really hope so as I'm out a lot of money because of them! Still would be open to class action suit if we could locate these guys. I can't believe they are so stupid to start the same scam and using the same names! DUH!

Torrenza and Sierra are a bunch of shysters. Karma will come and bite them in the butt.

DO NOT DO THIS! This is a scam! I have been scammed by this company a lot of money - I sooooo hope you did not give these ###s any of your money! Some people need to go out and get a realjob instead of stealing money from innocent people!

I received mine weeks ago just to have for proof and sent them off to Barbara to use. They have not contacted me since..LOL

Ive been ripped off too smh

Here's another p/n for Priority Escrow Transfers:
[protected]

I tried to get wire transfer information from them, but they 'bailed' on me. If they contact any of you on 'closing your transfer', request the wire forms.

this is 100% fraud. please email at barbaraflemingnj@yahoo.com. these criminals are monitoring this complaint board. I will give you lots more information... do not give them anything

Brenda and Every1 ...Merrill Lynch / BofA is my credit card company. Because we have a contract to perform a service to close on a sale and that sale did not take place - there is a breach of contract. We have at least one email from Sierra that stated that it could take up to 1 year to secure all of the necessary units to close the sale thus we could not have reported fraud because none had taken place since the transaction was still pending. We received periodic updates throughout the year from Sierra thus again we thought everything was still on track. The updates included a checklist and the number of units secured so far. When did not realize this was a scam until in February 2011 when we reached out for our periodic update and the emails bounced back. That's when we also realized that the phone numbers were disconnected. we save every document and email (thank goodness). I have to fill out some paperwork for the bank and forward all of my documentation. this has to be reviewed by the bank - but the rep stated that under breach of contract I probably have a good case. I will keep everyone up to date. Barbara

Amen sister...but we got scammed before we found this site, it is not really any comfort we were not the only ones though... they should be prosecuted to the fullest extend a repay every single penny they stole from us!

Hello again...don't we wish all of this would go away...I was so upset over last year and thought it was done and I was over it. Well I contacted Priority again to scare and manipulate them like they are doing to us and sent along a very vocal email...so far I have spoke to Steve who is clueless! Spoke to Ryan and Robert what a joke. In no way am I paying any money, however I spoke to Visa today about this fraud and they have my record from last year..but because we had to dispute this within 30 days of our statement there is nothing they can do. I reported Sierra last year in April, however because they strung us along..have no recourse! Barbara is there a difference between a dispute and breach of contract with Visa? I am on a mission now and will report this to our RCMP equiv to the FBI. I am also in Mexico the 7th of May and going to take all documents to Sando's where our private information was compromised by them. They are taking no responsibility for these actions. Still interesting that Cory B has cowered and cannot back himself up with documents or proof he received money LOL

This is a great site to make sure that no one else gets taken...do not become a victim again!

Priority Escrow Transfers address:
1800 Broadway St, Suite 300
Boulder, CO 80302
P/N [protected], FAX [protected]
Contacts: Robert Daniels, Ryan Nissen

ok folks ... THIS IS 100% FRAUD! eVIDENCE: 1) there is NO business license in the entire state of Colorado (strike 1); Property Manager of the Building has no tenant by that name (strike 2); requested buyers name and information on bank holding the escrow monies --- Sophia York said she couldn't give me buyer name and did not have the bank informaiton handy (strick 3); asked Ms York who Robert Daniels and Ryan Nissen was -- she got real nervous (strike 4); told her that I am in contact with other sellers that they have called she got more nervous (strike 5); then asked her who the property management co was that they paid rent to and CLICK she hung up (strike 6) .. YOU'RE OUT! Please do not give these folks any money. If have filed an FBI complaint as of today. If you paid Sierra by credit card and have the contract agreement and the subsequent updates via email (we got several) - then you can make a case for breach of contract with your credit card company since you were expecting services to be completed once all the units had been secured. please feel free to email if you want to chat directly ... barbaraflemingnj@yahoo.com

please post here what address Priority Escrow Transfer is using in Boulder. We were given 1800 Broadway. I have a left a message for the property manager of this building. Wanted to check if there are multiple addresses going around. Thanks

Title Search, Transfer Fee, Mexican Government Tax etc.etc.etc. - a rose by any other name smells the same! In this instance please read some of the above which advocate the following - DO NOT PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT!
IF THEY ARE ASKING FOR MONEY UPFRONT IT IS NORMALLY A SCAM!
If I can stop just one or two from making the mistakes I made - and prevent them from getting any more money from their scams - then it's worthwhile.
I cannot forget what they did to us and all the others who were similarly promised payout etc.
Read through many of the above comments for similar comments.

all:
I am also one of the unfortunates that fell for the Sierra deal to sell my 1Br at Sandos Caracol, went through all the checklists, paperwork, and sent the $1505 for 'closing costs', and $995 for 'taxes' in Mexico. Was left holding the empty bag where my money was at the time I was expecting payout.

I was just contacted by Priorty escrow Transfers, the contacts I spoke to are Ryan Nissen and Robert Daniels, looking to cancel or close my timeshare sale through Sierra, but are asking for fee of $1470 for a 'title search. They pushed for a wire transfer, but was willing to take a 'Paypal' payment; though my expected payout was 30 days instead of 5-10 days if I did the bank wire.

Priority claimed that Sandos was trying to 'prevent' the transfer of the properties to a corporation, and that the buyer paid the $1470 for a title transfer fee

Did anyone actually get proceeds of their sale from Priority Escrow Transfers?

Thanks everyone for your inputs! We must remember - if it looks too good to be true then it probably isn't! Keep your hard earned in your pockets!

I just called my credit card company to dispute the original sierra fee. The charge was processed by Resort Advantage Vacation. Normally a consumer has 60 days from the statement date to dispute a charge HOWEVER because this transaction is a "contract" and we were getting updates periodically regarding progress under the contract, we can make a case for "breach of contract". I have to send in copies of the contract, all correspondences, emails, and bounced back emails. Credit card company will investigate and hopefully I will be reimbursed. fyi ... Credit card company has no other complaints on record for either company - Sierra Resorts or Resort Advantage Vacation.

Hello again...I checked with a Timeshare Company here in Canada who is ligit in selling/2nd ownership/rentals and they have confirmed with me that this Company is a FRAUD...do not send money!

Brenda

I spoke with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office and the Nevada Attorney General's office. They are of the opinion that Priority Escrow is being run by the same group as Sierra. These types of businesses routinely set up shop in one state, using a suite as a billing address. They get your money and move on to the next city and state. They warned that you should never have to put money up front to get money back when selling a timeshare. They also said the whole timeshare industry is full of corruption and thieves. I am not willing to lose any more money! Go on ebay and search "timeshare" and you will see a bunch listed for as little as a penny! Do not waste any more money on these scams that claim you can make money off your timeshare. Jaimeelaw@gmail.com

I checked the ownership of the site www.priorityescrowtransfers.com - it was created Sept 11, 2010, not 6 years ago by any means. I'm pretty convinced this is a fraud

good morning all ... we too have been contacted by priority escrow transfers out of Boulder CO. before we give them any money --- we have 2 time shares --- i will be checking with Boulder Police's Fraud Department, and american express and visa credit card fraud departments as well. i will be calling the phone company's fraud department to determine how long the phone lines have been in place and if possible, check with the state of Colorado to see if priority escrow transfer company is in good standing. Certificate of Good Standings are required annually for every business entity in every state - this became a requirement after 9/11. I work for a bank so I am very familiar with all of these avenues. I will post again as I make headway. my email address is barbaraflemingnj@yahoo.com.

Look forward to hearing from Cory...do have a copy of the statement that came with the cheque?

Sorry for the delay in posting and I will reply to the emails later today. The check has cleared and in my opinion Priority Escrow was just caught in the middle.

Cory, you may want to make sure your check clears first before offering testimonials on behalf of Priority Escrow Transfers... Keep us posted please.

Brenda, the file on Priority Escrow Transfers was just opened with the BBB end of Jan this year - according to the info on BBB's site. If they've been in business for 6years then there should be more info regarding their company but, there is not much listed. I'm still not convinced the company is legit and would recommend everyone to be very cautious when approached by these so called "Escrow" companies. These types of escrow scrams are happening more and more often and are befalling the most innocent, unsuspecting, hardworking individuals. Will post again if anything of worth happens. marie8682w@aol.com

I contacted the BBB in Boulder ..made a mistake earlier Priority is from Boulder, COL. not Nevada..can't see to get Sierra out of my head. They have been in business for 6 years and have had no complaints. I am still waiting for an email from Priority and will share ..

Brenda

anyone have anything to add..I can be reached at brendahines@eastlink.ca

Hey all I found this company...went to hotfrog.com They are on this site...

Hey Cory...as we have all had a bad experience and as I explained to Robert Daniels from Priority...how can we trust anyone regarding our timeshares in Mexico. I had never been scammed before and when you get a call like this it makes you wonder. Two months ago got a call from West Palm Brokers who wanted to pay me out..that was a scam too, which I did not fall for...guess what... his number is disconnected.. How the hell do they find us?

Brenda

I'm sorry I added my 2cents just sharing my experience. Do what you feel is right for you.

By the way if this group from Nevada can't get in touch with Sierra, how the hell did they get my information?

I am starting to think the same thing!

Wishful thinking that we could be looked after

Anyone heard of this corrie.berry58@yahoo.com before now? Convenient turn-up for some group who may benefit from somebody suddenly claiming they have been paid out. (Just the sort of spur some wavering souls might fall for!) Cynical - yup I am - let's face it they scammed money out of all of us before! StuartG

corry berry can you email me..brendahines@eastlink.ca. I would like to talk about your experience with Priority Escrow.

Thank you

Brenda
