Summit Resort Marketing Aka HelloTimeShares.com Be careful, never give out money ahead of time for any timeshare deal Orlando Florida
I too had similar expieriences as listed in the previous reports.... Below is an editted version of my communications of the events.... I pulled personal specific details from it...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 9th 2009 Summit Resort Marketing removed from my checking account $3695.00 under false pretenses. John Reid stated no money would be removed from the account until such time as I received my closing documents, and at such time, only when I signed the bill of sale for my timeshare in Kissimmee, FL. The money was removed without receipt of any communication from Mr. Reid or Summit Resort Marketing. After a week of phone games with Summit Resort Market, Blake, John Reid, and continued lies on the closing documents, it is demanded a full refund of $3,695.00 be mailed Federal Express Next Day Priority to me.
If this check is not mailed and tracking number supplied and verified to me as stated above by end of business on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009; legal action will be taken with result of seeking the full amount plus interest and legal fees immediately.
All the named defendants above will be named in the suit, and their names will be forwarded to the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida (407)621-7226, the Attorney General of Florida's Fraud Department (407)621-3300, as well as seeking criminal charges of check fraud with the Orland Police Department (321)235-5300. And a call to the City of Orlando's City Attorney (407)246-2221. As well as a report to Mayor of Orlando of the types of businesses he is allowing in his fine city.
I have supplied my cell phone number countless times and left verbal and voice messages with no responses.
This matter will be taken to the State of Florida, Orange County Clerk of Courts, small claims court division (407)836-2000, naming all individuals above in the suit for Inter-state check fraud.
Enclosed is more information on the above named company and individuals, and shows a history of fraud and deception:
(I attached the very first ripoffreport)
You have until 5pm CST, January 20th, 2009 to notify me via phone with the verified FED-Ex tracking number of my fully refunded check for $3,695.00 to put a stop to all of this.
Mr. Reid told vivid stories of using only blue inked pens to sign documents, to use a notary on the documents, how Fed-Ex would send to my house or my place of work to deliver documents within 48 hours. How Prudential was the title company with the owners escrow. They'd send the documents. He named a family in Texas with 2 sons, that wanted my time share, stated their ages (12 and 15). Described financing to the new buyers with reduced rates, and they offered to waive their right of refusal on the purchase. Mr. Reid stated no money would be removed until sale was verified. Then when nothing showed from Fed-Ex, the stories went on, how it wasn't sent, and that it was coming United States Post Office. And I was assured to have it on Friday 1/16/2009.
Mr. Reid told extremely detailed procedures on the entire process, none of which has transpired. Warned of contacting a tax advisor because a 1099 form would be sent with the sale of the property.
No proof of a valid offer has been attempted to be communicated to me even though I provided opportunities for them to fax and/or email me a legitimate offer letter.

Martinez Management Group,
The above got me a phone call from their supposed attorney, I really doubt it was true... Ron Anderson from Anderson and Anderson in Boston supposedly.
Anyone that finds this information, heed this simple advice....
IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THAN IT USUALLY IS.
Don't be desperate to sell something, and get overwhelmed by sales and stories. They made this seem so realistic, recording messages, etc, etc.
Don't see your timeshare through anyone. Come to the realization that this is only one of MANY companies like this... Many others like this.....

UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE !
After much frustration, and many, maybe as many as 100 phone calls (seriously), all day long for weeks, and being persistent, I have achieved the resolution I was seeking, 100% payback of my $3,695.00 !
I recieved a check in the mail on Saturday 2/7 on Monday the check got deposited 2/9 (1 month later) I called their bank on Thursday 2/12 to verify the funds have cleared their account, and Bank of America said yes. I am whole !
Well, not really, I used a Credit Card check to fund this, so that cost me $111.00 I feel that is punishment enough for my own stupidity for being dupped into this in the first place. An expensive lesson that I was able to get a full refund on, and my punishment $111.00 far better then $3806.00.
I am extremely satisfied with the overal outcome, and I have learned a lesson, one that I will never forget.
My advice for others, document, document, document, write everything down, research, be persistent, they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. And again, don't be so anxious to sell something that all your common senses go to the way side... again, IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT IS....
Maria in Customer Service at Summit was the last person I've spoken to, just a few days ago. She followed up with me to be sure I even received my check. I did, I am happy ! I waited to write this all up until I was made whole, and that I was assured the funds were back in my account. Rich Fernandez also was very instrumental in making this all happen. He actually took my calls, and talked to me. He was the only one that gave me a ray of hope to keep pushing for my resolution.
It was not an easy ride at all, but 1 month later (which in reality considering what I went through), I am extremely satisfied with my outcome with Summit Resort Marketing !
