I was initially contacted by Karl Lewis on 11/29 who wanted to sell my timeshare for me. He said there was no money up front. They would find a buyer and then I would be contacted if I wanted to accept the offer.
Adele Spencer then contacted me and told me they had a buyer. They wanted $2,276.00 to pay for a title and lien search of my timeshare and also processing and closing costs. According to the contract I signed this money was going to be refunded to me by the buyer. I was skeptical of sending so much money so she told me she would send me a "countersigned" contract with the President Andrew Devaney's signature on it.
Everything was supposed to be done within 90 days. Ms. Spencer requested I send the money to Palmdale, California. She gave me a tracking number so it all seemed legit. Before I decided to go through with this offer, I also viewed the web site of First Capital Financial. Everything seemed kosher to me. I then sent the money by personal check to Palmdale, CA.
I have tried numerous times to contact these people by phone and e-mail. I have had no response. I have contacted the Attorney Generals of Minnesota. They have tried to find this company by sending letters to numerous addresses, but have had no response either. I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce.
Looks like they have been scamming a lot of people. This is a lot of money that I can't afford to lose! Everybody please contact the Federal Trade Commission at (877-388-4357) and fill out a report on this site. Justice needs to be served so this doesn't keep happening to innocent people. I really hope a Class Action Suit can be brought against these people and we can get all our money back!!!
