Executive Funding Group Eric SilvaLester Trador Timeshare Reshale West Palm Beach, Florida
Caller showed first time as "out of area". Introduced with first name only, Eric, with a company named Excutive Funding Group. He had an offer to buy the timeshare we have from a guy that had a huge amount of money wanting to buy up timeshares, with only a short time to make the deal go through. The amount offered for buyoff was
Timeshare ownership is shared somehow on a database, because I've got out of the blue phone calls before requesting to sell our time, to them, if I sent money to them.
I told him I could not make a decision without discussion with family first. He sent a proposal to me by email. He called again to see if I had gotten the proposal.
The proposal was on a simple Word document with no company letterhead, no proper signature for business, nor name and address on the proposal for Eric. The email address was from a .gmail account, whom anyone can set up,
In internet research on my own, from the reverse phone number website, to be located in Dallas, Texas, and was a cell phone, not a registered business line. Webpage was very elementary level, with no sublinks, contact info, or listed agents. On first glance a user would think it was legal, but in usage of website, it did not have proper sub-layers for additional information. It stated how a person, small business could get a loan for under $10,000. This is another key for penalty by the goverment.
I found the buyer's name and phone number also, in whitepages.com. It showed his property, relatives, and age. If I can find this, a scam artist can also. There were no additional properties or business associated to this buyer's name.
The amount I needed to send was around $900. All I had to do was send a reply back with the words, written, that I had agreed to this price. The money was to be sent by certified check, and then I would get the closing costs back, in the final arrangement.
The proposal did look somewhat legit, but can be found in Microsoft Office suite, for the basic structure. Eric was a smooth talker, very personable, and knew that the timeshare was for a bi-yearly usage.
Clues that lead me to believe it was a scam: 1. structure of real estate proposal 2. No full names of caller and contact address 3. Email address only being from a gmail account, not a registered business ip address 4. Call coming in on caller id as "out of area". 5. Review of business on website did not give any contact to them, nor phone numbers to call
