I to, fell victim to their scam. NEEDING to sell my resort property, (which in itself says that I cannot afford it OR to be taken advantage of) they sound so convincing & tell you that they have a buyer who they will get approved to purchase the property. They make themselves sound so REAL that you believe them. People of this nature should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, for ALL the laws they are breaking. (which are MANY) I will not let this go. I have been advised to file a complaint with the BBB in Delaware, (which I have done) I am not in the process of filing a complaint with the Delaware's Attrny Gen, the Florida's Attrny Gen & BBB, & my home states Attrny Gen. I have spoken to Dave Smith who is the Director of Delawares Div of Revenue & License who has told me that he has been in contact with the Post Office & Attrny General's Office about this matter. With enough FORMAL complaints about this company & their scams, they will have to be prosecuted. EVERYONE MUST MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT SO THAT THIS COMPANY IS OUT OF BUSINESS & PUNISHED BY THE LAW!
RESPECTFULLY, AA

Resorts management services is a scam and they advertise your property in a magazines in Orlando, FL where they’re really based out of .. They’re office is located on Kingspointe Pkwy .. Ask for a copy of the magazine see if they send you one.. No such company in Wilmington, Delaware.. Google earth there address and look what you see… RMS have a great day!…I know someone who worked there

Your best bet is to obtain the company's corporate info, incl. business license number and agent address. If this company is incorporated in Delaware, their Department of State, Division of Corporations will have this info on file.

Obtain it and you can file a complaint with your state's Attorney General, the BBB and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Now that solves everything right?... Okay, back to reality, to get your money back you will need to sue in all likelihood. Forget a class action lawsuit, they take way too long, are way too expensive, and given the relatively small amount of money each of you has lost (not being insensitive, it may be a lot to you, but anything under 15 or 20k isn't likely to get a class going, remember, a Federal judge has to approve the class action.) a class action isn't going to happen.

Given the fact that these ###s probably operate out of a garage with a phone line, you would need to find an attorney take the case, that is going to be hard, you would be very unlikely to find someone who will work on pure contingency, I know I wouldn't, because your chances of actually recovering real money is virtually impossible, coupled with the fact that it would take a lot of legal work to bring a claim against these people.

Sorry for this "ill news, " but in all likelihood, you need to sue if you want your money back. Good news is that in every state I know of, you can recover for attorney's fees. Bad news, these people won't be able to pay you when you win.

spoke to some guy who claimed to be a manager and called himself Mark Collins. He was "disturbed and offende" that i was calling his company a scam and gave me a long bogus speach about how i will have my $ by the end of feb. said he was glad i didnt fall for the scam of the the phone call i got yesterday because that person has nothing to do with their "very reputable company" apparently all the info that this woman was able to tell me about the deal she could get through a simple records search and obviously i dont understand because "maybe things work differently in Australia" and the reason this woman even knew the name of their rep who originally called me Sandra Smith is because"sandy got fired by the company so now she is working with this other mob to rip good people like me off" I told him to drop the act, they already have my $$ and they have zero chance of getting anymore so dont give me any more ###. he got all offended again. he directed me to some website delaware.gov which proves nothing in terms of the legitimacy of their company but for $$ could send me a detailed report. yeh i'm gonna pay that! he begged me to believe him. told him i would reserve my judgement till the end of feb when we would see if i got any moneywhich we both know i wont

I am in Australia and they have scammed me. I actually spoke to a guy last week who called himself John Pearson. I got suspicious today cos a woman called wanting a further $2000 and when I asked to speak to her manager she hung up on me. I wish there was a way I could get our $2399 back but I know we wont

Bev Kane again. After seven months, I was once again promised by RMS that I would close on my timeshare today and that Mr White would be contacting me to set-up the sale. I have not been contacted by anyone and can not reach anyone. You can no longer even leave a message on Mr John Pearsons answer machine because it is full up. I again left email messages for them to return my calls; however, no one has. The Attorney General in Delaware advised me that the RMS office is actually a post office. Their business licensing office advised me that RMS does not have a business license in Delaware, nor do they have an office. The BBB stated that RMS has an "F" rating, with over 17 complaints, all unanswered. The Attorney General in my state said that they have had so many complaints that RMS was added to their 10 top companies to be investigated for fraud or scamming, both being criminal complaints. They said it could take several years before they complete their investigations and bring these people to justice. I also contacted AARP (senior consumer protection division) who advised me to file a complaint with the BBB, AARP and the Attorney General so that when these people are brought to court, those with complaints can hopefully retrieve some of the money that has been scammed from them. As RMS has forced me into bankruptcy, I plan to sue them for all debt that I have incurred. If anyone else would like to join in a suit against RMS, or maybe a class action suit, please contact me at BevKane4@hotmail.com.

I've phoned John Pierson, Manager for RMS and left dozens of messages. He has NEVER returned by calls. He does not exist! He is another fraudulent name in this fraudulent company.

T.A. Hollingsworth: Since you rescinded the contract, you can send your charge card company evidence of this within sixty days of the charge. By doing so, you should get your money back through your charge card company. E.D.

I did not sign with the company, instead in less than two days sent by United States Postal Service a recission to the contract. I want my money back. I told the lady I was on the verge of losing everything and a scam was not what I needed. I told her when she telephoned about the contract that I was not signing it and I wanted a refund . They do not have a contract with me and I need, not want the money back on my charge card for living expensese. This is a scam and since I am unemployed and I am spending all of my time getting the news networks and other public agencies to stop them from taking advantage of people. Jenna Daniels is the one who assured me she had a buyer but to give me paperwork that states 60-90 days of advertising, I knew when I read that it was a scam.

They also contacted me saying they have a buyer for my Westgate timeshare. Naturally, they want nearly $2000 up front for a "title transfer fee." I checked with the Wilmington, DE BBB. They have an F rating because they have not responded to 7 complaints, and the address is not a physical address but a box number. Scam.

I was contacted by Resorts Management Services from Wilmington, DE and mailed my paperwork after they took my credit card information. Since then there telephone number has been disconnected, I called the police in Wilmington, DE and they informed me that the address is a lockbox and that there is no such office at that address. The scammers can be anywhere either in the U.S.A. or out of the U.S.A. we need to all get together and stop this type of skum from hurting more people. Sylvia Martha Johnson from Malin, Oregon

I sold my Hawaii property 1year ago with Resorts Management Services and I was very happy with the services that they provided. I was very scared at first because Ive been burnt twice before. So skeptical that I made the 5 hour drive to see if this was legit. I met with my Representative and She even helped try to get my money back from those other companies that stole my money before, though we weren't successful in retrieving my money back, we were successful in getting Timeshare Express Services shut down of course after a long investigation. point being this company has helped me solve years of headaches!

My only problem was that i got my proceeds in 98 days versus the sixty to ninety days that they say

sincerely Susan

My name is John Pearson and i am a manager for resorts management services i am replying to this because we have never been or never will be affiliated with any one else. We are a licensed company operating out of Delaware and will that information to any one that calls. We have never been in Arizona. We are now launching an investigation to who International Vacation Solutions are and why someone thought they were affiliated with us. For any questions call me.

Thank You

One trick I've found for telemarkets scams. Tell that you will be happy to give them your credit card number if they first fax to you a copy of their driver's license and the front and back of a major credit card. After all, you're trusting them with your money, shouldn't they be able to trust you with their's? I've done this twice now, and never received another call from the company.
