In August of 2015 my husband and I were visiting Cabo San Lucas Mexico. We were approached by two gentlemen that wanted to talk about a new adventure not a timeshare program but a vacation program. So we figured why not seeing that it wasn't a timeshare presentation we might as will see what they had to offer. We were tired of paying timeshare maintenance and not being able to go where we wanted to go and when we wanted to go. We were told that we could buy 190 weeks not pay any maintenance fees and no restrictions. They told us the fee would be right around $50,000. We told him that we had two timeshares and they came back and told us that they would buy them from us for $89,000, they said that our money would be put in escrow at Chicago title in the USA. We would also be told that it would take between 120 days to 140 days to complete this transaction. Within two weeks we were contacted by Bloomberg who told us that they would have buyers set up to buy our timeshares and the money would be held in escrow.
After a year went by of talking back-and-forth and emailing they came to the conclusion that they couldn't find a buyer for us,. I demanded my payment that I paid to escrow from my bank because it was on a MasterCard and I was given my money back after proving that I was ripped off and that that company never did but they said that they were going to do. So in October 2016 I get a phone call from Lyle Williams from Columbus international escrow services, he claims he is the one that is dispersing payment of our timeshares. He says I need to wire money to Mexico for the bank fees in order to get my money that was offered to me for my timeshares 111,000.00 He said I needed to pay bank fees to Mexico of $4465, I was to pay that in order to get my money wired to my account. He needed proof that I do the wire so I was to take a picture once the money was wired to the bank in Mexico . I did so he said that my money would be guaranteed to me within 24 to 48 hours. Well guess what, it's been a week now I've put many phone calls in many emails in and no response nothing . I must say these people are good at their game but I think the FBI needs to get involved with this group and shut them down.

RIP OFF on Vacation

Hello, I agree whole heartedly with you. Ths Lyle Williams and the vacation club that works with Prime Alliance, owner Oliver Kelly are nothing but con artist. I read your blog and it was as if I was writing it. There has got to be laws to protect us from this kind of rip off. I urge you to write your attorney General and file a complaint. If there was a forum where all those that have been ripped off by these two cons ,could meet and share similiar experiences, I believe we could shut these thieves down. I have been waiting since August 29, 2016 for payment promised on my timeshare. I even have the contract from what I know now to be the second step of the rip off plan , Columbus International Escrow. Seeing as we are asked not to add our phone numbers and emails this holds no real purpose other than notification. I live in Sacramento, Ca and others are from all over the US. I urge anyone reading this blog to write your attorney general and ask him/her to address this rip off process and take these guys to justice.
