National Warning Issued for Timeshare Scam--August 16, 2011
Florida And Their Timeshare Scams. Never Ceases!
For the second time in a week, the Clerk and Comptroller of Palm Beach County, Florida is issuing a warning to timeshare owners about fraudulent callers who are using the name of her office to perpetrate a scam.
Clerk Sharon Bock first issued an alert last week warning timeshare owners to beware of callers who claim to work in her office or the Palm Beach County Courthouse. The con artists tell their victims to wire money via Western Union to become part of a timeshare victims’ trust fund. They were told to send the money to someone named Jose Suarez or Nicholas Danforth.
The number of complaints has grown, prompting Bock to issue a new alert.
“This is clearly an organized scheme,” Bock says. “It’s only getting bigger, which is why it’s urgent to spread the word about this fraud.” The latest victims to come forward are people who own timeshares they have been trying to sell.
Bock warns that clerks’ office employees never call and ask that money be wired. She is urging anyone, anywhere in the country who receives such a call not to send money anywhere but to call her office at (561) 355-2996 and report the incident.
