We continue to be plagued by these rash of postings by a former employee named Katie Erkens that has criminal charges pending against her in this County for Fraud, Forgery, & Theft. Anyone over 14yrs old can post on this site without any sort of proof. I strongly urge anyone that reads this to take into account that one criminally minded person is attempting to ruin a good company. Further, our company will continue to hold ALL of our employees to strict sales Ethics & Guidelines and will continue to fire anyone (WITHOUT PAY) that does not adhere. Regards, Joe Esposito

Timeshare owners beware!! Do not trust this company!!! They are first rate scam artists! LIES LIES LIES!!!! NSFs, bounced checks, no refunds, not paying employees! Joe Esposito is trying to go under another name doing the scam again. "Boiler Room" style Eventually trying to phase his brother, Salvatore Esposito, out completely. Nice family. They even use fake names. Alias include: Peter Miller, and Jim/James Ryan so watch out for that. Sal Esposito spends everyday at the bar. Comes in maybe once a week. He is such a drunk he walks into the office and the whole place smells like liquor. They also are BIG drug addicts. Spend all their company money on drugs and their employees sell it. I left the company and they said they had to "hold my money" for a certain amount of days. In actuality they don't have any money because of all the drugs and "downtown lifestyle" they TRY to lead. This guy Joe lives in The View downtown, one of the most expensive places out there. But he can't even pay his employees! They also use Company Trader USA as their BBB name so you can't find all of their complaints. They even used the BBB logo without permission on the web page and are facing charges with that as well. They will call you with their, "Customer Service" saying: "We have had some interest in your property. We also have a buyer that is going through financing we just have to wait on approval. Send your contracts in so that we can disclose offer to you. We can't legally disclose any offers to you until you sign the contract." This is a complete lie. They have NEVER sold one property! They just need you to send your contract back because it's harder for you to win a chargeback with your credit card company if you have signed a contract. If you try to call them they dodge and avoid messages. I moved away and I have tried physically to go and get my paycheck, driving for long periods of time and they dodge me too! Try calling and getting anybody on the phone! They will probably only give you their foolish receptionist Katie Tucker and she will blow you off with her lies too! As for their "Title Search" and "Estopple Letter" you don't need these documents until you close the property. Try calling your resort and find out how much they cost. The $800, $1,350 they try to charge you or even $100 dollars is a lie! These documents only cost about $5 each. They have NO magazine! Timeshare Trader USA is just a fake concoction that they use to get people's money. They have said this magazine will open up next soon for MONTHS!!! As well as conventions. Only licensed real estate brokers and people that have paid for a booth at a convention can actually sell at these places. Plus who would buy a timeshare at a pet expo? Ridiculous! This company has no sales ethics and no soul! I worked here for a couple months and did go along with it. But now I realize that what they are doing is so beyond wrong. Both of them need to go back to jail where they came from!

Please accept this posting as TRUE & ACCURATE. The RIPOFF REPORT is designed to provide a forum for customers or potential customers worldwide to voice their concerns, experiences, etc regarding ANY Registered busines. All it takes to Register is an email address. Regarding this specific matter, all information in the originally compaint was addressed thoroughly. It has absolutley no validity and it is a shame that just ANYBODY can write false claims regarding our Business. We work closely with the BBB in Central Florida on resolving ALL Complaints as they are filed, we RESOLVED each & every one in our entire history-to-date. The total number is single-digits (9) and all information regarding are public record and have been promptly resolved. The "hint" that the BBB takes bribes is RIDICULOUS and proves that these series of postings are from an immoral person that holds a grudge. It is our hope that anybody researching our company does it thoroughly and they will see who the "real scam artists" are.... former employees fired for their sales practices & lack of integrity. Please contact BLUE BAY ADVISORS for more information on our company and we will be glad to provide any/all information on these issues. Hopefully, they do not persist and we are looking into legal action to prevent these circumstances in the future. Thanks & Regards, Joe Esposito

The owners of this Blue Bay Advisor's, Sal & Joe Esposito are first rate scam-artists. They are not only experts at ripping off many timeshare owners, but are also experts at convincing others that reports such as this one are invalid. Although they may not have many "unresolved disputes" with the Better Business Bureau, do not let that fool you. They have many loopholes for pulling complaints out of the BBB so that it does not affect their rating.

After being advised of this erroneous report by a potential customer researching our company, I would like to address the this "report" and provide the CORRECT information! 1 - After reviewing our Customer List for Bill Clark and our entire Sales team, there is no customer with the initials "MK", nor any client that lives in College Point, NY. 2 - We have terminated Bill Clark for violating our company policies, none of which were related to Sales ethics. 3 - The customer detailed how he is unable to contact us, which is incorrect. We have recentlty expanded and upgraded our phone system. Our phone line was down because of a mechanical problem and fixed within 24hrs. Our toll-free #1-866-728-9735 absolutely works and you can call me directly at any point and I will indeed answer(ext 222). 4 - As for not receiving a Contract, it is possible since we have NO customer name or address that matches the person that filed this erroneous report. I would like to note that the customer that pointed me to this website still signed a Contract with our company after our researching us with the BBB. Thanks for yor attention and I hope that any reasonable person will make decisions based on the facts. Thanks
