I received a call from a Steve who said he represented Global Timeshare Sales. He said that he had a buyer for my timeshare. Since I have never spoken to anyone at that company, I was suspicious to begin with, but played along to see what the scam was. After they "sold" my timeshare for a "great profit", the manager, Kyle Miller called and explained how I would be receiving all the closing papers, etc. First I would need to use my credit card and pay them $1, 950. Since I wasn't willing to do that, I figured they could just take that out of the sale, he would just have to move on to the next property. The contact phone # is [protected] ext. 103 for Kyle, ext. 114 for Steve. The number that showed up on my caller ID was [protected]. Steve said they were located in Orlando, FL. I looked up Global Timeshare Sales on Google and found the address in Kissimmee, FL but the number given had been disconnected; it was a 407 area code. I found a website for Global Timeshare Sales and it said it was located in Brockton, MA.
I would hate to think these guys would get anyone to pay. I'm sure that if they did, something would happen and the "buyer would back out or something".
Global Timeshares called me and said they had a couple sitting there who wanted to buy my timeshare at the asking price, plus $1500 extra if they could use it in 2008.Someone came on the line and asked me to do Brian a favor and say "no" if I was asked if I was told that someone was sitting there waiting to buy my timeshare. So I lied and that is what they taped. They also said "Don't pay the maintenance fee Because the new owner will pay it."I gave them my credit card # and agreed to pay $1950 for their services.I got a fax which looked like they were selling my timeshare for $2550. I signed it and returned it and asked the girl whed I would get my money. She said, "In 4 or 5 days." A few days later I got a form that I had paid $1950 for them to try to sell my timeshare.Two years before I had paid them $1000 to try to sell it and they had done nothing for me.So I didn't owe them any more.
scott michaels told me he had my timeshare sold.This was dec 08. i gave him money and he said everything would be done by feb 09. Its now aud 09 and im still calling him to find out why he is doing this.
