FIRST ALLIED PROPERTIES, INC. Patrick Cohen, Kevin Adams, Don Carlos FIRST ALLIED PROPERTIES, INC./WORLD ACQUISITION GROUP, LLC TIMESHARE RIPOFF New York New York
Two weeks ago, I received a call on my cell phone from a man calling himself Don Carlos. Mr. Carlos claimed to be a broker with First Allied Properties, Inc. out of New York, and stated he had a buyer looking to buy our timeshare in Cancun, Mexico. The following day, I was contacted Kevin Adams, who stated he was Mr. Carlos' supervisor and would be taking over my file due to the dollar amount involved. The day after that, I was approached by Patrick Cohen who claimed to be the senior broker with First Allied Properties. Mr. Cohen advised that TATA Chemicals was looking to purchase the majority of the weeks at my resort to turn it into a Disney-like resort. The following day, I received an Account Opening Request form from "World Acquisition Group, LLC" for the purpose of opening an escrow for the purchase of my timeshare. After 2 weeks of investigation, I have learned that the purported buyer (TATA Chemicals) has never heard of First Allied Properties or World Acquisition Group and was totally unaware of this bogus transaction. I have also been able to contact the actual owners of these two hijacked companies who advise that the identify of their respective companies were stolen in the early part of February 2017, and that new webpages for each company were created to scam unsuspecting victims. They owners of these victimized companies have jointly launched an FBI investigation into this scam.

First Allied Properties, Inc, NY had its identity and address stolen by criminals who are trying to commit fraud. They created mutiple fake web sites on the search engines, which we had taken down. They have a fake email address of [email protected]. The criminals also have a phone number of (866) 978-6003 which is NOT the real phone number of the legitimate First Allied Properties, Inc. NY. We reported them to law enforcement.
The fraudsters typically call the intended victim of their fraud and identify themselves as working for First Allied Properties. They have been known to use fake names such as: Richard A. Cohan, Steven Woods, William J. Bratton, Daniel Greenberg, Aron Fried, Gary Lee, Douglas Cook, Timothy Stanley, Deborah Moore and Asyushmaan Khatri, etc. I am sure they will think of more fake names to use.
The criminals often target Timeshare owners and offer them an exhorbitant price to purchase their membership interest. They send the victim a fraudulent Letter of Intent on fake First Allied Properties, Inc., NY letterhead and claim to be making the offer to purchase "on behalf of a client". DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. IT IS A SCAM. The legitimate First Allied Properties, Inc., NY DOES NOT engage in timeshare sales and DOES NOT buy real estate on behalf of its clients.
YOU ARE URGED NOT TO GIVE THE CRIMINALS ANY INFORMATION OR MONEY. REPORT THEM TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
To alert the public, we posted a website on the search engines called: FIRST ALLIED PROPERTIES, INC., NY IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD WARNING.
THE REAL OWNERS OF BOTH FIRST ALLIED PROPERTIES, INC. AND WORLD ACQUISITION GROUP, LLC ARE ALSO VICTIMS OF THIS SCAM

RIPOFF REPORT DOES NOT ALLOW PEOPLE FILING AN INITIAL RIPOFF REPORT TO EITHER MODIFY AN EXISITING REPORT OR DELETE IT AND RESUBMIT IT, SO I AM DOING THIS AS A REBUTTAL TO MY ORIGINAL REPORT TO MAKE SURE READERS KNOW THAT THE REAL OWNERS OF BOTH FIRST ALLIED PROPERTIES, INC. AND WORLD ACQUISITION GROUP, LLC ARE ALSO VICITIMS OF THIS SCAM. The names of their respective legitimate and well-established businesses were stolen and used to perpetrate this scam. I have had a chance to talk with both owners who are working hard with their attorney to shut this scam down and have launched an FBI Investigation into this scam.
