I received a call from Steven at Nationwide Marketing Solutions telling me that my property at Marriott Ko'Olina was wanted to immediate sale to an individual who had already put down $10,000 toward the property. I asked how he knew I had the property and he said it was because we had previously listed it, which is untrue.
Steven went on to tell me that they would offer me $32,000 for the property.
I told him that I had doubts that my property was worth that much right now since a search on the internet for like properties are going for much less. He insisted it was and they had a buyer. I told him I would do research on his company and to fax me and information they had that I could review.
I never talked about it with my husband because I didn't really think much of it. Then Jason Michaels called at 561-222-4309 and reinforced that they had a buyer and all I had to do was give them $869 for "earnest" money to show I was serious and the only way I wouldn't get it back was if I walked away from a sale that I had agreed to which totally is not what the faxed guarantee states;
"Nationwide Marketing Solutions guarantees that if our marketing fails to produce a buyer/renter for your property before any other company, we will refund 100% of our marketing fee upon proof of sale. Once the unit is sold you are entitled to a full refund from any other company that you have listed with in the past that states within their contract that if your unit sells within 20% of the original asking price a refund will be given."
What a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Talk about confusing the consumer. Jason told me that if I sold my unit I would be refunded the money or if THEY didn't sell it within 60 days I would get a refund. I couldn't lose. Of course, that isn't what the guarantee says and then it becomes a case of he said / she said.
Steven called me again today and I told him that I hadn't had time to look up their company and would call them back when I got around to it. I found complaint and that was all I needed.
I called Jason who while looking up my information was getting another call and asked if he could call me back. I told him not to bother, I had done my research and discoverd fraud and would not be accepting any more calls from his company.
A legit company, I would think, would want to know that source so they could fix it, but Jason decided his course of action would be to just hang up on me.
Thanks complaint. I smelled a rat and you guys pointed to where it was. I appreciate it!
Don't fall for this bait!
