These idiots called my home and tried to get a credit card to iniate the sell of our time share. Did we look like we had "STUPID" wrote across our foreheads. The number one rule is to never give out your credit card number unless you iniated the call yourself for a legitimate company. The crazy thing is they keep calling back!
They are still at it this year too. I had a spurt of these calls last year, and now I'm getting them again. Calls to both my unlisted home phone and my personal cell phone. I paid cash when I bought my time share in 2003, I sold it in 2006 because the annual taxes and fees made it a waste of money, and they still seem to think I own it. It IS A SCAM. Don't give them anything. I reported them to the KS Attorney General's Office. If you can catch them in a lie and record it or some how other obtain proof of the lie they are telling, you should report it to the FL Attorney General's Office since that is where the calls originate. That would be a violation of Federal law.
They are now calling themselves "Recover my funds now" or Consumer advocacy group. Two phone calls in two days. Same number, different company. They say they are working with the Florida Attorney General.
I too was taken for $$, from Resort Pros, Cynthia Cole.
Last month I got a phone call from Goliath Recovery. They said they would refund my money if I gave them my checking account routing number and it would cost me $100. Thank goodness I did not fall for this one.
Now the new "Recover my funds now", says that they will credit back my money on my credit card and they they will have me do a funds transfer of 30-40% from my checking account to theirs...Not going down that path again! I don't care if they are legit. I know I have lost my money the first time. not doing it again! Oh by the way....They say they will have a lawyer on the line also to talk to my bank, so the transaction goes smoothly....RIGHT!
Lets see what company they are next month
I too was skeptical about this "recover my funds now" outfit, but after giving it much thought and showing the service agreement to my daughter who is a family law attorney we decided to give it a shot. There were no upfront fees and it only took about three days to get our money back. We didnt have to pay them till after the money was refunded back on to our credit card. They had all the evidence they needed to prove that Vacation property resellers was a fraudulent company and i thought they did an excellent job in handling our refund. after over 17 months we had pretty much written it off. I'm glad we took the time to do the research on them before we made the right decision to move forward.
