Be on the lookout for timeshare resale phonies

Has anyone ever had any dealings with a company called Colorado One Real Estate LLC, they have made us a offer for our timeshare and could use some good old fashion advice. Thank you

Has anyone heard of Silver Creek investments.

Has anyone been contacted by Sugar Creek investments. They have contacted my parents.

I was contacted by Magnum Realty as well and everything seems very professioanal and upfront,until Capital Transfer Associated Services LLC sent several pages of documents with the last one asking for money through a wire transfer...smells funny to me. Can anyone confirm they are a scam...it feels this way to me.

we are currently dealing with R5-Realty out of NM and escro Management out of colorado, to sell our time share in cancun, we recently wired 2,175 to mexico for a supposed number to be able to transfer money from mexico, today they told us we needed to pay Mexico 3000 dollars for capital gains, as they had our money leaned on until they did, I had researched, and they looked legitimate, but not enough, all day long, been calling attorney generals, etc. our time share company thinks we are being scamed, so we have filed a lot of papers, and are going after them. we lost 2175, looks like, but no more, the numbers they gave me in mexico have come back invalid, etc. really be careful out there, our attorney general said a big sign of fraud was when they offer you more for your timeshare than you paid for it. they did

Was offered 50K more than my TS was worth by Magnum. Sounded very professional on phone and email replies. They did not like my idea of setting up a Trust Account through my lawyer. wanted me to use one of their accounts. My lawyer did some background investigation and smelled a rat. I believe this is a scam.

5 star Realty is a total scam outfit. Michael J Buck. Daniel H Boardman. Deborah Hemphill Gary Benson Jr. And Patric Luna - all fake. Names I am sure. But we have been in conversation with them since March 22. Just about to close a deal that seemed too good to be true. Called the NM real estate commission - they are under investigation we learned this am. Thanks everyone for being diligent and checking up on companies that want our money and probably identity as well.

Robert Abbott w/Sugar Creek Inv. is total scam!!!

Just had a call from Magnum Realty Sacramento offering to buy timeshare. Very good talkers but I was suspicious from the beginning. Awaiting their offer but thankful I found this site. There will be no further correspondence with them.

Also got aa call from Magnum Realty (Bonnie Dai Smith) in Sacramento offering to buy timeshare for 2x what we paid. Very good/polished talker but I was suspicious from the beginning. Awaiting their follow-up but so thankful I found this site. Stringing them along to see how far will they go...

Has anyone heard of a Jason Randy of Magnum Realty, smooth talker says their is no money up front to sell my timeshare in Cancun, I'd love to get rid of it Krystal resorts in Cancun has done nothing they said they would do. I'm sure this is another scam, happens every year.

Golden Asia seems like a scam too. Wanted me to pay around $5,000 for taxes in the Cancun area.

Also got a call from Magnum. I told them that I would not release the property or make payment to them until 30 days AFTER the funds had cleared my bank, not 30 days after the contract was presented. I wanted to make sure that it sale was legit and it was not negotiable. I got a call back today and they said that's not how they normally do business but that they talked it over and felt that it wasn't unreasonable and if I wanted to proceed, then I should let them know so they can present a contract for my attorney to look over. Will see but I WILL NOT be sending any money to Mexico for taxes or special fees etc. That's for sure and my stipulation WILL be in writing on the contract or NO DEAL.

Magnum Realty in Sacramento CA has a land line phone number in Riverside CA That's about 435 miles away. Sorry but that is not how any phone company works. Magnum is also a scam.

I was contacted by a company in Indiana, World Trade Events they offered me us$21k for my vacation package in Jamaica, they sent me "legal" documents we had to sign in order to move forward, we were told they had a buyer already and all the funds were deposited in a escrow account, then I was contacted by the Title and Escrow company, Emerald Title and Escrow LLC located in Alabama, they sent me the final contract which looked legal and with no hidden statements, however one of the clauses was very confused stating that we will need to pay any fee related with the selling and the money was going to be reimbursed during closing, I asked the question about what other types of fees they were referring to and I was told that no other fee than the initial 10% commission over the us$21k offered was going to be necessary. However I received and email from the Title company representative (very rude guy with the name of Jacob Miller, I spoke with him after receiving the email from him) stating that I needed to pay us$3750 up front for covering Mexican taxes and local fees so the Mexican government confirms this is not a money laundry activity (by the way this was a new requirement from the Mexican government, according to Jacob's email). He sent me all the paper work related with Mexican taxes, wire transfer instructions on behalf of the potential buyer (sure why he did not pay this, no idea), and a new addendum. Of course under these new conditions I decided not to continue with the sale and of course I was threatened with the contract clauses, at this point I knew this was a scam, however everything looked so legal and official that I believed and decided to continue until the email from Jacob, fortunately I did not pay a dime to these robbers, so please be aware of this scam it is too good to be true.

Silver City Properties (Jesse Conde, Brian Ivy, Matt Simmons, ) American Finance (Ben Carmona) all one big fraud.

Anyone know anything about Gold Members Club? got a call offer to purchase one of my Timeshares? also, any information on Timeshares Only?

have somebody hear about some of these companies: reliance financial holdings (apparently in OK) Closing co, Proteccion S.A de C.V (Mexico) Halicon Brokerage Group

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about OKAY.deals? They sent me an email to sell my timeshare.

I received 2 calls from different companies (YATRA and THINK HOTELS), they made an offer to my UVC timeshare and the did not ask for money in advance. They request a cover of my contract (first page), I wrote VOID in it. Did someone received calls from them? And yes, I think UVC is selling our information out there, they new my e-mail, name and telephone.

was just contacted by a landa page offering to buy my timeshare. I did not list it for sale, and had no intention of selling. She said she was deaf and would be dealing through her broker, she would pay brokerage fees and closing cost. and the money would be placed in escrow account with First American Title, who would deal with my home resort. Sounds legit, but the one thing that didn't make since to me, is she said she is trying to obtain properties to start her own rental business. She could buy hundreds of these properties for pennies, why offer 13,000 fo mine. I paid 22,500 20 years ago. It just sounds fishy.

Been recently contacted by ThinkHotels.MX (not .com) about my UVC membership. offered $20k on a $9k investment. Followed along for awhile then bailed out. Another contact a week later. Same thing. 2 weeks later Agoda has been in touch with an almost identical offer. Too good to be true. If someone wanted a membership like mine would be too simple to just buy from UVC for half the offered price. I send the contact info on to UVC for their records. Don't fall for this crap.

Has anyone gotten a call from Hudson Holdings Group LLC to purchase back your El Cid property timeshare saying that the resort is going to be turned into Condominiums? They said they give me a hundred and twenty five percent of of my investment. I just purchased this timeshare a few months ago and was not looking to sell it but was told that if I did not sell it when the resort close down I would only get 50 to 75% of my investment back. Trying to find out if this is legitimate. They said they were already bought 48% of the properties back and only need 51% to proceed with the sale of the property to convert to Condominiums. I haven't been able to find anything online about anybody else in this situation. Hudson Holdings Group LLC seems to be a legitimate group

We purchased a "fractional ownership" stake in a resort located in Playa Del Carmen Mexico in February of 2016, entitling us to 4 weeks of rental at the resort. In October 2017, we received a call from Brandon Parker from a company called Regal-M stating that they can resell our annual entitlement of 4 weeks to customers in Mexico. They offered a re-sail proposal of $18,732 for use of the 4 weeks at the resort. However, we would need to pre-fund the booking fees in a "trust account". They assured me that all fees required to proceed with this transaction would be reimbursed by their customer. They offered a contract and introduced an escrow company named Berkshire Greens to handle the transaction. Berkshire Greens assigned an escrow agent named Benjamin Miller. They sent me "Rental Closing Agreements" showing all of the associated fees and expected funds transfer amounts. My first wire was to a Mexican bank account at the instruction of Berkshire Greens was in the amount $6001. 45. This amount was required to cover the maintenance fees at the resort for the 4 weeks of rental derived from the ownership agreement. We were then told that the Mexican government was charging a "surprise" tax of 25% on the deal that would also need to be funded by us. We were told that these fees would be reimbursed by their customer as well as per the rental contract. I asked to see the invoice from the Mexican government, which they provided. We wired an additional $6186.36. We were again told that we would need to pre-fund the realtors 8% commission and the closing costs to the escrow company in the amount of $1498.56 and $1499. We were told that our escrow broker, Benjamin Miller, had to fly to Mexico to find out what was happening at the bank with our funds. We were told by Benjamin Miller that our funds were being held "hostage" by the Mexican government because of a 13% "Excess Income" lien of $4,408.86. We were than informed that we were being imposed a US Customs fee of $3000 that needed to pre-funded. They sent a copy of the US Customs Invoice. At this point, Berkshire Greens offered a "guarantee" that if ANY other fees or encumbrances are imposed, Berkshire Greens would cover the costs. Benjamin Miller personally assured me that his company had to take out a special insurance policy to cover this "guarantee". After a week of no contact, I called Berkshire Greens, to inquire about the funds and was assigned to a new agent named David Cristianson, who informed me that a new unexpected fee has been incurred, by the Mexican Bank, in an amount of $3990. Berkshire Greens declined to honor their guarantee because they claimed that these fees were for attorney fees which were outside of their control and was not considered an encumbrance. After the wires were sent and confirmed, we were told by Brandon Parker that their customer had chosen to cancel their interest our room nights. We were provided with a "Cancellation Agreement" that stated that all funds would be returned in addition to an amount of $9,366, representing 50% of the original contracted amount. The cancellation agreement stated that the funds would transfer within 30-90 days based on when the customer chooses to release the funds. The agreement was signed on March 23rd 2018. On May 17, 2018, I was contacted by Emma Taylor from Regal-M, representing herself as a member of their legal team in charge of investigating this account to determine why this has not closed as of yet. We've had several conversations, trying to get her to understand the history of this account. On May 22nd, 2018 - I received an email from Emma Taylor stating that the Mexican bank was charging me with a processing fee of 15%, totaling $6,797 based on the total amount of funds expected to transfer of $45,593.25 and that if I do not pay this fee the bank will freeze my funds indefinitely.

I was contacted by Andy Rizzo from Royal Travel Group that someone was interested in purchasing my timeshare in Cabo. Once I agreed to an amount, I was then handed over to an Escrow Officer named, Victoria Page. We started the contract and we were to wire money to pay upfront costs with the promise the buyer would reimburse the escrow account and we would get that money back. Victoria suddenly had a family emergency, and I was then handed over to Angel Lopez for him to help close my sale. They wanted me to pay 10-12% upfront fees to set up a foreign account to complete the sale and receive my money. That's when it hit me to dig a little. I should have verified all this before sending any money. This was confirmed to be a fraud. I checked the BBB for these two companies, and they checked out. I should have just called my timeshare place to confirm, that's my bad. Please pass this on to others...I want to make sure they don't dupe anyone else! I find peace knowing that my God redeems and justice will be served!
