Timeshare task force LLC review: FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD 19

My 87 year old mother was contacted by this ripoff company and told that for a fee she could get money returned to her numerous resale time share transactions that were perpetrated against her credit cards over the past 2 years. The company after taking the charge card info has not answered the phone or called back! She was charged $1200 dollars and we probably won't get it back.

Don't do business with them

I have contacted the Forida State Attorney General's office and the Dept of Agriculture as well. Perhaps they will repsond if enough people will complain.

My mom is elderly and has Alzheimer's they should be hung from the nearest tree.

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD

we are owners in westgate south carolina we are not pleased with what has happened to us and spent a lot of money in this.we have contacted the company to get out of this by selling it.they dont sell it for you .they just put on a big front.they want you to up grade with a lot of money like we did.if you didnt you couldnt vacation there again, so they told us.like a dummie we did.now we are trying to sell it and found out we have a frad who took our money of a 1, 000 down.they never called us in 6 weeks so i called to speak to the one who took our money and he told me to call him anytime i wanted too.so i have and they tell me that i cant talk to him because he isnt taking calls and they cant answer my questions.found out through bbb.org they are a scam.

we have been taken by debt relief program that first came out with the obma speaking about it .it was the biggest joke .we did it and we was the one to nogate.not the ones.that was to handle it.we paid them 15, 000 to do this not knowing what we was in for.they said this wont hurt your credit.wwwrong answer.my husband had great credit before we did this thinking they could help.wrong answer.it hurt us and they took our money.please dont do anything like this.just do the best you can and leave these kind of people alone.you will be better off in a long run.now we bought our timeshare 3 years ago.needing to sell it.we contacted timeshare hot list.now we are in hot water again.we paid them a 1, 000 to sell this for us and found out they are a scam frad.we are trying to do something about this.people watch what you are doing.its best not to buy into timeshares.save your money if you want to vacation.timeshare will cost you more than saving it up.we have learned the hard way.think about it.

If you look them up on www.sunbiz.org, Timeshare Taskforce and Timeshare Taskforce Alliance are both owned by Richard Shea, so it is in fact the same owner for both companies. What's worse is that he was also the owner of Creative Vacations, Inc.

Pieces of human garbage!

My Mom (89 years old) just got ANOTHER call from this same "Chester Viggiano" that Riky talks about and I was in the room and so I asked her about him. Same pitch about his company recovering $$$$ that people have shelled out to sell their timeshares. Something about a sting operation that just took place a couple months ago and now they are going to be able to recover some of the money...yeah right, i thought.
I then find out that my Mom has given at least 6 different companies over a 4 year period a bunch of $$$. Aaaaaahhhhh. How do these people sleep at night?
I noticed on the multiple pages of info and contracts and even a "consummer Contract Form" to file a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office in Florida that on the contract it says that she has to pay a retainer fee of $1094 as compensation for their services...sounds like the same rip-off that got her into the mess she is in now!

I notice tha several of the complaints/comments above say that it is a GOOD company, while others says the opposite ! Does anyone know who I can call or contact that can tell me the truth? Can you call the Attorneys Office in Florida or the Better Business bureau?
HELP, PLEASE

As late as twenty min. ago some guy who represented him self as CHESTER VIGGIANO Head of the, Time Share Task Force, Gave me a pitch that all the Past SCAM Time Share c ompanies had been caught and arrested. He stated that he had to hurry to submit a claim for me to recover the monies I had spent to try and sell my Time share. he set an appointment to call me back and to get all the information he needed. I was very very suspicious of this guy so i played along. I gave him some correct names of companies that scammed me in the past along with some false credit card number from which I was scamed. He put me on hold to verify that he could still help me, came back and said we were all set. I them knew he was another scammer? I told him I wasn't paying any more money to do anything with my time share. That if he wanted to send me checks for all the money I would gladly accept them! He said good bye and hung up! WATCH OUT THIS SCAMIS STILL OUT THEIR AND THEY ARE AFTER THE SAME PEOPLE WHO THEY ORIGINALLY WOUNDED!

These people call me every day are they legit? It sounds like their not but I cant tell. I dont trust anyone in florida anymore.

Dont be fooled people. I am telling you Taskforce LLC is a FRAUD... They are in fact the same company that stole your money to begin with... I have talked with Flordia's States Attorney's Office... They are working this case very hard and are trying to shut them down...Please do not give them any of their money... If you go to their website and click the contact us button it will list an address. If you search that address you will see a "Virtual Office" which is infact a mail box.. The last time I talked to them I told them I wanted to know the physical address where the telemartketer was so that could send the local police to that location and verify that they were a lagitamate business. I was told that I would have to hold so that he could go outside and check the address. After 15 minutes on hold the phone went dead and the number has been unavailable everysinnce...

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD... Do not be sucked into their ploys for your money...

I have done business with this company. I received a call from a 561 area code. I usually do not answer calls from this area code because I have unfortunately learned that calls form this area code are usually a scam of some sort. I have been taken for over $50, 000 from companies that claim to have a buyer or can sell my timeshare. I spoke to a representative from this company who said they could recover my money that I was scammed out of. They did say that they would receive a 25% "recovery fee" . I thought 25% was a fair amount for money that I had given up on as a loss. I told the gentleman to call me back in a few days at a particular time. He called at the exact time I requested. I did some research on the company before I decided to go forward with them. They are set up as a LLC ( I went to SUNBIZ.org..you can go here to check on Florida Companies' status.. ) and were incorporated by an Attorney on 9/14/2009. The attorneys name is on the sunbiz.org website. http://sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=L09000088572&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=TIMESHARETASKFORCE&names_filing_type= They did recover most of my money and were rather professional. No hard selling and the gentleman I spoke with was well spoken and business like. They sent me documentation that I had to sign, we spoke to my Credit card company and I got money back the same day. I can say that in my own experience, The Timeshare Taskforce is a legitimate business and do what they say they will do. Out of the 37, 500 that I am looking to get back [protected]%+37500) I have received back to date 26, 428.33. It did take a few weeks to receive that much back, but I am glad I answered the phone that day. If The Timeshare Taskforce calls you, listen to what they have to say and make your own decisions. I am glad I did and my wife and I are going on a vacation with the monies we got back.

YOU SEEM TO KNOW AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT THESE COMPANIES DIGUSTED IN PB GUESS YOU ARE ONE OF THE [censor] YOU SPEAK OF. THE DOA STILL LICENSES PPL [censor] AND THE CEHCK BY PHONE THING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STATE-THEY JUST CANT GET A MERCHANT ACCT BC THEY HAVE BAD CREDIT...ANYONE CAN GET A CHECK BY PHONE ACCT...ACTUALLY THERE ARE PLENTY OF PPL TAHT HAVE GIVEN $1000-$2000 5 AND TEN TIMES SO IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE WAS OUT THAT MUCH MONEY NOT TO MENTION THESE COMPANIES CAN GET YOU OUT OF THE ACTUALLY TIMESHARE CONTRACT ITSELF WHICH CAN BE AN ADDITIONAL $20, 000 TO THAT. ID ASK TO SPEAK TO THE ATTORNEY HANDLING THE MATTER THOUGH BEFORE GIVING UP YOUR MONEY...BUT IN ALL HONESTY NOONE IS GOING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK NOT THEIR ATTORNEY, NOT YOUR ATTORNEY, NOT ANYONE SO JUST MOVE ON AND DONT ANSWER THE PHONE TO THESE REJECTS...ANY OF THEM! YOU ARENT THE FIRST OR THE LAST ...

As a criminal fraud investigator in Wisconsin THIS IS A FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD... Employees will post "good things" about the company just to confuse people but trust me FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD... They are smooth and will trick you do not trust them!

ROFL...JASON AND CAROLINE. YOU WORK FOR THE COMPANY. NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE HAD EVER BEEN SWINDLED OUT OF 15000.00 JASON. PERHAPS THAT IS HOW MUCH YOU MADE OFF OF THE SCAM IN A FEW WEEKS. YOU ARE SORRY [censor] ADDICTS THAT SWEAR THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR LIVES TURNED AROUND, BUT TRUTHFULLY ARE JUST WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT FIX. WHY CAN'T THE GROUP OF YOU JUST O.D. ALREADY? ESPECIALLY BRIAN MORRIS, RICKY SHEA, JENNIFER KIRK, VERA CONDEM, JESSICA CRUZ-TORRES, THOMAS FORD, JEFF FIELDS, JEFF PARRISH, NICOLE VECCHIO, RYAN BRAZEL, RALPH JOHNSON, BIG-MIKE...THE ENTIRE LOT OF YOU...JUST O.D. AND LEAVE THESE POOR PEOPLE ALONE. YOU HAVE TAKEN ENOUGH FROM THEM. THEIR MONEY AND THEIR SENSE OF SECURITY. JUST DROP DEAD. AND YEAH, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME COMPANIES, CAUSE I HAVE WORKED FOR BOTH, NO ONE CAN GET LICENSED IN FLORIDA ANYMORE (DOA FINALLY GOT SMART) SO THEY ARE CHECK ONLY OR CHECK BY PHONE - USUALLY. STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE AND ALWAYS CHECK THEM OUT WITH THE LOCAL POLICE DEPT AND THE LOCAL STATE ATTORNEY TO SEE IF THERE ARE PENDING COMPLAINTS.

Jason and Caroline,

Wow, timeshare task force sure does sound great, did they ask for a credit card number upfront?

Also, I would assume these folks are licensed attorneys, can I please have their names so i can confirm there licenses with the state bar association?

by the way, I noticed you mentioned "consumer right people". can you please specify which consumer right agency they work for?

Thanks!

THANK YOU TIMESHARE TASKFORCE! I'm a bit embarrassed to say it but, i was $20, 000 in debt do to resale companies promising me they had a buyer for my timeshare. When in reality all they were doing was stealing my money. I felt foolish and stupid for my mistakes. The people at Timeshare Taskforce helped me clean up the mess I had created. They made me realize I was not at fault, but that I had been a victim of some despicable people. I have thus far recovered $16000 and we are working on the remaining $4000. I must say I thought the money was lost forever. When I recieved the call with the news that all was not lost and that there was help out there I was extremely relieved. Although I was a bit skeptical at first I felt like it was my only option to trust that someone was actually out there helping people. The staff has been extremely helpful and considerate of my situation. The fraud investigators and consumer rights people seemed to work magic in the recovery of the money that i had been defrauded out of. I also signed on for the extrication from my contract with the resort I own at. We seem to be making good progress with that as well. As far as the comments claiming that this company is hurting people simply can't be true. I have had an absolutely pleasant experience with them and would recommend their service to anybody who has been victimized by the timeshare scammers.

Caroline

It is absolutely legit ! They have recovered over $15000 for me ! I love the ne sayers on here ! I have recieved my money back 100% ! So get yours back with them or just keep complaining !

Jason

I beg to differ ! This is the only legit company out there doing the right thing they recovered over $ 15000 for me in fees I have paid Timeshare companies ! Your grandmother probaly is wrong !

Jason

I have received repeated daily phone calls from Timeshare task force, always area code 561. They never leave a message, usual sign of a scam telemarketer from Florida.

I answered once and got this pitch about how their lawyers are going to recover my money, I am starting to hear this more and more on different timeshare forums, seems like they have found a new scam. Just like the others, he made big promises but details were quite vague once I started asking more questions.

I doubt there is any "timeshare fraud recovery task forces" out there. Its about as legit as people who call and say they have a buy standing right here who wants your timeshare! If they were legit, then they wouldn't be hunting you down, unsolicited, to help you get your fees back.

wow, . well the second comment on here bout being the same people.. that's just slander. the first comment though is totally false.. you might be thinking of timeshare taskforce alliance, but timeshare taskforce is a very good company, when they did get my money back, unlike t.t. alliance.. it didn't get chargebacked again and taken off my card once it was put back on, once they got my money back it stayed.. and i was with no hesitation ready to give 25 percent to them, i got sucked into t.t. alliance though, and my money was put back on my card, but the credit card company disputed and was taken back off, and the company had already taken their 30 percent i believe it was, or 50 percent.. so be careful. timeshare taskforce does it right, timeshare taskforce alliance is not the one to deal with, as well as national recovery i believe.. they do the same thing.. it gets put back on your card, but then the company disputes it and it's debited off your card again, just as it originally was. and the person who made the second comment.. i did my research, which you prolly already know and are just tryin to give that company bad complaints cause you're prolly out of a job from whatever you did, prolly worked with one of the companies or still do that is scamming people still saying they have a buyer for their timeshare.. so to the rest out there.. listen people. there is nobody that is financed or has an esgro account ready. no one has cash out. the companies do not do in house financing. there are no buyers.. in face people are trying to sell their deed on ebay for one dollar and can't even do that... who wants to pay mnt fees for somethin they don't use and never will use pretty much. another good thing i did with timeshare taskforce was had them extricate me from my contract with the resort.. i still owed a little bit on it too.. but they had their people negotiate with the resort and make them realize what was going on and things, and right around two months or so.. i was finally rid of my timeshare, it didn't get sold, in fact i paid to have it extricated.. which was well worth it. i thought about how many more years would i have it and paying the mnt fees that kept going up on me anyway.. compared to what i paid to have timeshare taskforce extricate it for me... i was more then willing to do so.. so i'm one of the lucky ones, which hopefully more will follow what i did, but let these guys get you money back, at least most of it, and have them make the resort take the deed back. i'm very happy that i'm rid of it.. and no more hassels and tons of phone calls every day saying there's buyer and all the rest of the [censor] i've heard. still be careful of the other ones.. because "timeshare taskforce alliance" is the one that doesnt' work, and it seems "timeshare taskforce" is gettin all the heat... but i did business with them early in the year, and after seeing these last two comments.. i don't want any other t.s. owners like myself, falling into another scam. thanks

BEWARE THIS IS THE SAME COMPANY THAT TOOK PEOPLE'S MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY ARE THE SAME TELEMARKETERS THAT WERE CALLING YOU TO RESELL YOUR TIMESHARE. THATS NOW PLAYED OUT AND THEY ARE CAUGHT SO NOW THEY ARE SWITCHING THEIR GAME UP AND SCAMMING ONCE AGAIN BY DOING FEE RECOVERY. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER. IF ANYONE CALLS FROM TIMESHARE TASK FORCE OR TS LUXURY GROUP, HANG UP! GO TO YOUR OWN LOCAL ATTORNEY IF YOU NEED HELP GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK FROM THESE SCAMMERS OR JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CREDIT CARD!
