First Capital Financials Stole my money Las Vegas, Nevada
On the 22nd of Nov.,2011 A man by the name of Kenneth Taylor called me and said that he had someone that wanted to buy our timeshare and that First Capital Financials was going to finance the money for them. He said that we needed to send them 2,276 for the title and lien search. I sent them a check for the amount on the 30th of Nov.2011, check #1309. they said that it would take about 90 days for the sell to go through. They kept in touch through phone calls and e-mails until the 24th of Jan. 2012. Since then I have not been able to get a hold of them. . I don't have that kind of money to just give to someone.

Never pay someone upfront to sell your timeshare

Did you have your timeshare on the market? Why would you send money to someone in advance to sell your timeshare? It is a common scam that has been around for years. The names of the company change, the people change, but the scam remains the same. Did they also ask you to send the funds via Western Union or Money Gram? That's also a huge red flag.
What to do? You can file a police report, but I don't think it will help get your money back. Just don't be so eager to send your money to a stranger that calls you out of the blue and asks for it.
