A Mr. John Baker called me around December of last year telling me he knew that I had been spending a lot of money trying to get my Timeshare sold. He was going to help me get my money back by setting me up with a buyer. He even went so far as to let me speak to a men and he concurred that he was going to buy my timeshare. He then sent me a contract that I signed and returned to him with a $1000.00 fee as a retainer. He then called me several times telling me the money was there and all they had to do was meet with the attorneys and close the deal. He said I would get my money by Feb, of next year. Then around April he called again saying he got me more money for my Timeshare and this off shore company had to shelter money in the form of an investment so all I had to do was pay taxes on the final sale of $49,000.00. That would be $2500.00. So I reluctantly sent him the money and he assured me this was no scam. He even had his so-called secretary in on this by having her call me periodically to insure me the money and the deal was on the up and up and it was all going well. So I waited and waited. Finally it has gotten through this thick but trusting and naive skull of mine that this is all a scam. I feel like a fool.
To trust these predators who take advantage of trusting people. I will do all I can to get my money back and see them in jail.
