I bought a timeshare in 2004 (actually I was pressured into buying it but that's another complaint!)  I have been trying to get rid of it ever since.  I received a call from Richard Wehlener on 11/21/09 around 12pm (Saturday). He asked if I was still interested in selling my timeshare.  I said yes and he launched into the sale, telling me that there was a family that was interested in my timeshare, they put money down, and that TS Luxury would handle everything.  The family offered $12,500 and wanted to buy my 3 weeks that were banked at $1000/week ($3000) so the total I would be getting was $15,500.  TS Luxury had been marketing my timeshare for free for the last 4 months and they were going to set up an account with an insurance company, title company and broker, but in order to do that they'd need 10% of the sale (by my calculations that would be $1550) but he said $1727. 



When I asked him about the difference, he said that if you add the $1727 that I would put down (but then it would be refunded), plus the total sale it would add up to $17,227.  The math adds up (kind of) but the red flags were going up all over.  He said that he'd FedEx the contract out to me, they'd set everything up and guarantee the sale and that it would take 81 days to process the sale, he just needed a credit card.  I told him I was at work (true) and didn't have a credit card on me (true) and asked if I could call him back later with one.  He said sure and gave me his number (772) 882-0343.  I had to ask him repeatedly to tell me the name of his company and to slow down so I could get all the info.  He started to get really impatient with me when I kept asking him to repeat things.  I mentioned that I wanted to do a little research before I committed to his company and that I had been scammed before.  He said that he understood my skepticism and they could get my money back from the other companies.  I searched the company and once I read the complains on this website I never called him back.  I decided to post my experience with this and other companies so others don't get ripped off.  Good luck!!

Good news you appear to be entitled to a refund of every penny you paid because you are not alone.

The Attorney General also unveiled ongoing investigations into at least 17 timeshare companies and their affiliates throughout the state for deceptive trade practices. Vacation ownership relief is a rare advocacy based organization that helps families like yours, go after companies who have stolen from you. These companies may have engaged in fraudulent misrepresentation and in most cases are not even licensed to engage in the business you have paid them to do. WE work in conjuction with a FL based law firm and the lawyers associated with this firm are licensed to practice not only in Florida but in the Federal Courts throughout the United States.

And because you would like to get back your money let me share with you how with the support of our firm, you will be empowered to fight these companies and get back what is rightfully yours. Included in the package are several letters drafted specifically for you by the law firm, for you to Use to get the refund you deserve.

This or those companies Failed to disclose this information in writing constitutes an unfair and deceptive trade practice pursuant to chapter 501 of 2009 Legislature. ((Any contract entered into in violation of this subsection is void and the purchaser is entitled to a full refund of any moneys paid to the resale service provider.)) Not only will your receive a firm that provides resources, and acts on your behalf to get back money that you have lost to resale scams; you will also stop them from continuing to scam others in the future..Sometimes is not just the money but its the principle. .If you have any additional questions or are ready to receive this package please contact me directly at #407-749-0003 1 888 567 8184.
