Just had second phone call from RINCON HOLIDAY PARK VILLAGE MALAGA registration no B93063337 offering to sell by timeshare for me. I needed to pay £860 to secure the deal with a buyer who was willing to pay £7850 for my weeks etc. after reading other post on here i realise it is yet another scam. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is . The lady i spoke to was Lisa Brown phone no 08448228128

I too have had a call from Lisa of the same address and phone number. In my case they offerred £7800 and wanted a deposit of £865 for a period of 28 days by credit card. When she rings tomorrow I am going to ask for an email with all the information in so I have something positive to show the Trade Standards people.

We were caught by Millenium Marketing and after receiving emails and contract agreed to pay by credit card. Since then we have heard nothing, the phone is not answered and the website has disappeared. Have they reappeard with a new name? We have recently been cold called by Waterstone Consultants, who offer to put us in touch with companies who buy timeshares. They assure us no advance fees are requested and tat we can refuse an offer if not satisfied. Has anyone heard of Waterstone - are they reliable?

just got back from mallorca. exactly the same thing with now on line happened to me. went out to see property development consultants international. they are not buying my time share but transfering it. I have parted with approx £3,000:00 so farand they want another £5,000:00 within 3 week. they say the monies are put in trust, to keep it safe, we then have to send off what they call cheques (no money) every year for the next 5 years. after this 5 year period, we get our asking price for the time share + the monies we have just paid.
any comments most appreciated. the person I am dealing with is Collettte Stephenson, ring any bells in the fraud markets?

Tim
Would be interested to hear if you have managed to get anything back out of Property Developers International. Cannot find anything about them on Google, however we were told they had recently changed names, unfortunately we don't know previous name. We got convinced by the same people (Collette Stephenson and colleagues) and now realise it is a scam. I will watch for your response.
