Timeshares By Owner Cold call, repeated - lies about "deposit", demand for $2994 payment and cc info Internet, Internet
On 2/8/12 caller called me 4 times one after the other. The caller ID said TSBO 305-328-8996. I hung up on the first call.
On second call he said I had signed up - and made a deposit - to market my timeshare.
Said I owed $2,994 to continue with a nationwide listing in April and that I would get an offer within 30 days.
When I said I had never signed up he had the gall to say that no doubt I had signed up at a resort and that I, like so many others, was having such a good time and was drinking too much and didn't remember. I refused to be drawn into the argument and to say I didn't drink. I hung up.
On the third call he said he wanted the card number for paying my balance. I hung up.
On the fourth call my granddaughter answered and said loudly and clearly not to bother her
grandmother ever again and said that if he called she would call the police. She is 10. I really got a kick out of her response!
I presume I should report this to the FCC and to the FTC (or whatever the acronym is for the agency that deals with business scammers).
