Resorttous.com Ripoff Resort To Us Disappearance of individuals and company in last month. Las Vegas Nevada
This company, according to the local Better Business Bureau, falsely claimed to be a member. On August 18 2005 the BBB discovered their premises were empty and phones not answered.
The president is Gweneth Cheltenham. The person who contacted us and cashed the US$1000 fee is Kelly Matthews, Marketing Director. The last contact was with 'Kim' who assured us the sale of our timeshare week would be ready to go in mid September.
Their website is still active. They list over 3000 units for sale at prices well above the market, claiming that corporations want them for use by their employees and as a tax deduction.
If all those owners paid what we did, Gweneth and her colleagues must have collected around 3 million dollars. If a class action is contemplated, count me in.

Resort to Us Next Steps
#2Consumer Suggestion
Fri, September 30, 2005
I would recommend anyone who was scammed by Resort to Us or Resort to Us for Help to contact the Commercial Fraud unit of the Las Vegas Police; the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection; and Better Business Bureau. If enough complaints are received, perhaps it will be sufficient to initiate a successful criminal investigation.
If you are approached by another timeshare reseller, particularly out of the same region, check them out (example, is their web site available through a search engine, or only when you enter the site name they provide..) - report this case as well.
