I was called by Cosumer Fraud Reporting Agency and told they had finally received the funds for the defrauded victims of various timeshare resale companies. I was on the list and they had $2899 coming back to the credit card that I had used at time of the crime(the scam by a timeshare resale co.), back in 2009.
All they would require of me was a 30% payment after I saw that the $2899 was paid back to the credit card.
I checked the credit card's online site, and yes there was a $2899 payment made by phone. On the 2nd day, they called me and instructed me to pay the 30% fee by Moneygram Express payment or Vanilla, a prepaid reload form of payment. They pressured me into paying on the same day, by saying that if I didn't pay, the money would be forfeited and I would never get the $2899 back, and it would not look good on my credit report.
I believed them and sent the $870 by Moneygram and Vanilla. They said I would receive a certified package with paperwork showing all details and receipts in a few days. On the 3rd business day, in the evening, I checked my online credit card account and lo and behold, the $2899 payment showed as a returned payment for lack of funds.
I feel like a real loser now, I was scammed yet again by a company claiming to recover money that was defrauded by another company claiming to sell my timeshare for what I had paid for it or a little more.
Please I want to warn all victims of timeshare resale companys that thses people calling you are the same type of people that were involved with the timeshare resale scams, that's where they got your name, telephone and details of your past charges.
Please,please do not belive them, they are scammers without souls. They are semi-psycopaths when it comes to swindling money from fraud victims.
Check these red flags out first:
1) They call you out of the blue.
2) unverifiable address
3) No paperwork involved, only promise paperwork after you pay.
4) Their phone numbers are from cell phones, not landlines.
5) They want to receive money by moneygram, prepaid cards, reloadable prepaid card methods, etc. no certified checks, money orders nor credit cards.
I hope I can save a few more people from these lying, scamming preditors, as for me it is too late.
