Timeshare
Received a call from a Kenny Tran ID#0912 saying he had our timeshare sold and needed escrow amount to process - had a good line and was very smooth - due to the fact my husband had been out of work for a year and we had wanted to sell and needed to sell our timeshare we got caught up in this guys line! How can these people sleep at night knowing how they are scaming people out of $$$$! We will never do this again! What really got us he had ALL of our info about our timeshare and etc! Also informed us we would get our certified check for the sale of the timeshare in 2-4 weeks - as I got more curious I started calling but never heard back from Kenny or anyone else. In fact the number was no longer in service. I understand this involves a woman that has been doing this for along time and seems to be still doing the scaming! BE cautious everyone!

Scammed
Consumers Beware!!! In June 2009 I was solicited by Nationwide Marketing Solutions, Inc. who offered to sell one of my timeshares as they indicated they had a buyer & what they were will to pay for it was a fair price so I though why not, need less to say that was a BIG mistake as I not only listed one timeshare with them but three as they told me they had...

THIS IS HELMUT GOELLNITZ THE OWNER OF NATIONWIDE MARKETING SOLUTIONS.HE IS BEING HELD IN THE PALM BEACH COUNTY JAIL WITH NO BOND FOR ARSON AND MANY DRUG CHARGES.SO IF YOU WANT YOUR MONEY BACK CALL THE PALM BEACH STATE ATTORNEY AND ASK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO...
WEST PALM BEACH — Helmut Karl Goellnitz wanted to send this message to the owners of a North Palm Beach beauty salon, federal authorities said: Don't mess with Helmut Karl Goellnitz.
Goellnitz wasn't happy when the employees of Touchee Hair Salon, at 11585 U.S. 1, didn't drop everything to accommodate his girlfriend, who wasn't satisfied with eyelash extensions she had gotten there in June, according to federal court documents unsealed on Thursday.
So Goellnitz, 46, of Greenacres hired two men to smash the salon's windows and burn it down, the documents said.
The arson plot came to light after Goellnitz's alleged henchmen were caught and turned on him, according to a sworn statement by Special Agent Hugh O'Connor of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
After months of investigation, O'Connor found that Goellnitz hired Rashad Dansby, who worked with Goellnitz at Nationwide Marketing Solutions in Lake Worth, to burn down the hair salon for $1, 000.
"Goellnitz told Dansby that he wanted somebody to make a statement not to mess with him and he 'was going to show them, ' " O'Connor said in his statement.
Dansby, in turn, hired an airport shuttle driver named Derek Litman to commit the crime, and Litman set fire to the salon on June 18, O'Connor said. A sprinkler system eventually extinguished the fire.
On the night of the arson, Goellnitz and his girlfriend, identified in documents as "Kristen, " met with two people in Groveland about a business venture. Goellnitz apologized for being late, the people later told authorities, because he had a problem with a hair salon and had to pay someone to "burn the son of a (expletive) down."
Goellnitz was arrested and charged with arson, and taken to the Palm Beach County Jail. He's awaiting his next hearing in federal court
Sale of Timeshare
My friend and I signed over our timeshare to Nationwide Marketing on August 21, 2009. The timeshare was in Cabo at Hacienda Encantada. I was dealing with Mark Preston and the sale was supposed to close on 9/30/09. I have left numerous calls and can't reach anyone at the Customer Service number. We paid them $1, 792.00 as a title search amount. What alternatives do we have? Thank you.

These people are lower than pond ###. There should be an investigation into how they can get a license to steal in this fashion.
Fraud
Ditto. I tried to research the company, but this had not surfaced when I did so. I started to worry when the charge for their services showed up on my credit card with an additional charge for a foreign transaction -- they sent the money out of the country. I have called repeatedly -- service. A rep from American Marketing called to tell me my papers were now in escrow . . . They were very knowedgeable and had a slick answer for all my questions. Congratulations to the crooks -- they got me. I tried to call the FL atty general, wouldn't take calls on the listed number from outside FL. Then I tried the FBI, who referred me to the FTC. FTC did not accept my complaint -- wrong department. I'd like to know how to turn these crooks in.

SCAM/ Took money, said had a buyer for my timeshare, no sale, no refund, no response to calls
Last month a representative called us saying excitedly "Congratulations! We've sold your timeshare!" Well, having been down this road before, I was very skeptical. They claimed to have a legitimate buyer and we would only have to pay $1792 for a title search and closing statements and all these costs would be recouped upon the finalization of the sale. Yeah, right! Like I said, we've been down this road before. I hung up on them. Moments later, the sales manager called and repeated the same spiel. I told her if there were a buyer, he should be paying those costs, not me. She claimed that they would send a certified letter within a few days as confirmation. I said that certified letter should contain the name of the escrow company and it should state in writing that there was a pending sale. Surprise, surprise. When the certified letter arrived 10 days later, it was, of course, a marketing contract, not a bill of sale. This after I had said repeatedly that we were not interested in any kind of marketing scam they were offering! It is outrageous that a company like this can continue to do business. Yet, I suppose there are enough people willing to believe the ridiculous notion that they have sold something they no longer want, and are willing to be duped out of their money. We are not on that list.
Many Florida timeshare sale and rental companies under fire
Florida has launched a war against the timeshare resale industry, announcing Thursday ongoing investigations into 17 companies, as well as a lawsuit against one company.
In 2009, complaints about timeshare resale companies overtook mortgage-related complaints reported to the Florida attorney general.
The attorney general also filed suit against South Daytona-based ResalesBuyOwner.com, its third suit in recent months against timeshare resale companies. Allegations against ResalesBuyOwner.com are that the company forced customers to pay up-front fees for services that were never provided. The company charged customers' credit cards even after they decided not to do business with ResalesBuyOwner.com, the suit says.
The office has also filed suits against American Marketing Group and Hicks Inc., both based in West Palm Beach.
Some 17 companies, many based in South Florida, have been subpoenaed because of complaints about deceptive business practices. Customers have said some of the companies failed to honor cancellation policies, misrepresented the services they would provide and failed to comply with some parts of state and federal telemarketing acts. They include:
• Executive Timeshare Marketing in Tamarac.
• Coastal Timeshare Solutions in Boca Raton
• Worldwide Resorts Direct and Worldwide Marketing Solutions of Palm Beach, doing business as Worldwide Timeshare, in West Palm Beach
• TS Luxury Group in Lake Worth
• C&G Marketing Associates, doing business as Premier Timeshare Solutions in Palm Beach Gardens
• Nationwide Marketing Solutions, doing business as Magnum Advertising Services in Lake Worth
• International Resort Solutions in Lake Worth
• E.A.T. Sales in Boca Raton
• Euroamerican Timeshare in Boynton Beach
• Transatlantic Timeshare in Boynton Beach
• Seabreeze Advertising Corp., also known as SBA Corp. in Daytona Beach
• Timeshare Market Pro in Davie
• International Marketing and Finance in Wellington
• Gold Crown Property Management in Dunedin
• Vacation Property Resales doing business as BUYATIMESHARE.COM in Tampa
• Timeshare Only in Orlando
• PFS Concepts, Inc., doing business as US Vacation in Largo
Already, the state has settled with seven timeshare resale companies, including about $100, 000 for customers of World Timeshares of Deerfield Beach; about $90, 000 from Timeshare Travels of Boca Raton; $36, 000 from Preferred Vacation Resorts of Clearwater; $26, 000 from D&D Vacations, doing business as United States Property Services, of Largo; about $37, 000 from S.F.C. Group, doing business as TWA Resale, of Orlando.
On Thursday, the state noted one of its largest settlements with a timeshare resale company. Virtual Group of Orange County, which goes by the name Realty Trade, has paid $800, 000 in refunds to customers and will pay $500, 000 to customers who request refunds in the future.

This company did the same thing to me. Except they led me to belive they were working with American Marketing Group, oh, by the way, AMG is the same as this company, once they get your money you can not reach them again. I did check both companies before I went with them and BBB had nothing. Nationwide Marketing even has a business number. That is nothing, Nationwide charge my credit card before I signed the contract. Which is against the law. I put in a disput with my credit card company and I wrote the FL State Attorney General's Office, plus the Governor of FL. You need to watch out for another company called IRS (International Resorts Solutiosn), they lead you to believe that they are the IRS checking up on these companies. I have not finished with these marketing companies yet. You can fool me twice, but the third time I would be the fool. I have also sent a formal complaint to my governor (Virginia).
On Oct 30, 2009 I was contacted by Jason Lynch at Nationwide Marketing Solution. He asked me if I had gone thru Vaction Property Rental/Sales to sale my time share I said yes. He stated he had a buyer for 27, 500.00 and had James Rosa call me back and set up an escrow account and the escrow would close 11/30/09. He had me put 1792.00 in the escrow acct but because of foreign bank charges it was 1827.84 that was taken out of my bank acct. He called me and said I needed to call bank and ok charge I was concerned and looked up the company saw all the complaints and called my bank with a 3 way and told them not to put chg thru but it was put thru now I am working with my bank (US Bank) fraud dept to get money back. I hope the outcome will work for me to get the money back. Don't do anything with them.
I think I am part of same complaint. I did the same thing. Now no response to my calls, number is a answering machie that says its full. What if anything is there to do?
Same thing happend to me I am a Canadian, I was contacted by a Jimmy Boone of Magnum adv. then he got in touch with Alfred Mohan of Nationwide we paid Jimmy 1800, 00 and alfred 989.00 and were strung along for the past 2 months telling us our timeshare was sold and was just waiting for the client to come in and sign the papers, In the pass 2 weeks I have called 9 times and Alfred at nationwide, his cell number [protected] has not returned any calls, I guess we just got scammed and have lost our money. Bob and Carrol
The same thing has happen to me for $896.00 Mr. Mark Hogan would call or answer his phone everyday letting me know that everything would be finalized in 45 days from 8/14/09 once they received payment the finalizing date changed twice and then they/he stopped calling/taking calls so right now I'm in the process of obtaining a Lawyer. This is the only way we/you can put an end to scams/scums what needs to happen is a class action law suit to stop them dead in their tracks...getting even
