We are a victim of a time share selling company calling themselves the Holiday Propery Group LLC. The person we delt with said his name was Michael Dean, His so called secretaries name was Sara & Operations Manager Alan A Taylor.
We have a 2 unit, red week time share in VA, we were trying to sell since we haven't been able to use it. I was contacted by a couple by the name of Jonathan & Nancy Barton from Front Royal,Va claiming they were interested. The wife said they had someone who could help with the selling process, so I agreed. There phone #(((REDACTED))) now belong to someone else who said he's had the number for 4 months.
Enter Mr Dean, Nov 2015 to Nov 2016. He has 3 addresses Fells Point Baltimore 410-215-7008, Rehoboth Beach, DE 844-877-1166 Winchester, Va dir line 540-8771134 to Mr Dean, or540-877-1166, sales 540-486-6297. Mr Dean said the sale was done, that he just needed some paper work form the Bartons. This sale went into April where he told me the Bartons were just not reliable & that he had several others interested in the time share so he told him to move forward with one of them.
At the start of the selling process , we paid him $872, why I do not know. The long & short of the story is he claimed he had another buyer how was paying more than we asked but couldn't come up with the closing cost of $731.12. We dicided to pay it just to get it sold. They cashed the check at Wells Fargo Bank.
I attempted to contact them to find out when we would get our payment, but recieved an email for Sara that Mr Dean wash having to take a leave of absence to take care of his parents & that they would return all our money. That was Nov 10th. I have not been able to contact them in anyway since nor have we gotten our money back.
I am a retired senior & this has been extremly stressful to me. I only hope this keeps someone else from falling victim to this predetor.
