This company is registered to a mailbox drop in Georgia, but based out of Florida. One of the phone numbers they use has a Daytona Beach/Palm Coast, Florida area code. Go to the BBB and put in Vale Professionals LLC, and you will see that the Pres/CEO is Devin Kolb. Go to sunbiz.org and put this name in search under Officers/Registered Agents, and you will see that Ms. Kolb just dissolved a company called ITL Marketing LLC on 9/24/10, listing an address in Palm Coast, Florida, and
another company called K.F.C.international LLC, also with the same Palm Coast, FL address. I know about this because a friend of mine paid them over $10k to have her timeshare deeded to a company in Wyoming, where I live, and I checked it out for her. The address is a mailbox drop, the company does not exist, not registered as any kind of business in the state, and they are not even listed at the mailbox drop.
This is one of those postcard/exit/guaranteed relief/title transfer scams that tell you they will transfer the deed to a corporation. Don't believe them. If they don't give you a bill of sale, and don't provide proof that the deed was transferred through the County Recorder of Deeds where your resort is located, then the transfer is invalid, the transaction is deemed fraudulent, and the deed reverts back to its previous owner. These people are smart enough to pay the maintenance
fees for the first year, and they even notify the resort of the transfer. The whole thing takes a year or two to unravel, and of course they are long gone with your money, you are still stuck with the timeshare, and now you are back on the hook for delinquent maintenance fees. This is the newest scam - registering in Georgia instead of Florida to make it seem more legitimate - NOT! Hold onto your timeshare and save your money for the maintenance fees - they can't even give these things away for free on CraigsList.
