Complaint Review: First Capital Financial Services Corp and Andrew Devaney

I was initially contacted by Karl Lewis on 11/29/11 who wanted to sell my timeshare for me.  He said there was no money up front.  They would find a buyer and then I would be contacted if I wanted to accept the offer. 

Adele Spencer then contacted me and told me they had a buyer.  They wanted $2,276.00 to pay for a title and lien search of my timeshare and also processing and closing costs.  According to the contract I signed this money was going to be refunded to me by the buyer.  I was skeptical of sending so much money so she told me she would send me a "countersigned" contract with the President Andrew Devaney's signature on it.

Everything was supposed to be done within 90 days.  Ms. Spencer requested I send the money to Palmdale, California.  She gave me a tracking number so it all seemed legit.  Before I decided to go through with this offer, I also viewed the web site of First Capital Financial.  Everything seemed kosher to me.  I then sent the money by personal check to Palmdale, CA.

I have tried numerous times to contact these people by phone and e-mail.  I have had no response.  I have contacted the Attorney Generals of Minnesota.  They have tried to find this company by sending letters to numerous addresses, but have had no response either.  I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce. 

Looks like they have been scamming a lot of people.  This is a lot of money that I can't afford to lose!  Everybody please contact the Federal Trade Commission  at (877-388-4357) and fill out a report on this site.  Justice needs to be served so this doesn't keep happening to innocent people.  I really hope a Class Action Suit can be brought against these people and we can get all our money back!!!
