Well I tracked down the prior owner of the unit that IA Vacations sold me. He told me that he had sold 3 of timehsare units to or via IA. I know I paid for mine in August of 2009, and I know one other at the same resort was registered in Nov of 09 so probably paid for about the same time. The seller says IA has not paid him for any of them, and he was thinking of going the Atty General route (mail fraud I guess). He was unable to shed any light as to why IA persists in understating the consideration paid for our unit, on the deed, but his thoughts were the same as mine.

The reasons these scammers get away with their scams is due to people like the above that do ABSOLUTELY nothing. I was scammed by a product (long story) not long ago that was supposed to be free, however a month later they charged my debit card .... I called the company several times and actually had screaming matches with some of the reps to get my money refunded to my account.

I then went on the internet to find Class Action Aattorneys on a contingency basis that charge only if they win the class action lawsuit (this product was nationally advertised and had hundreds of comlaints on the internet) .... I found the contact info for the attorney general in the state the scam was located, the attorney general of the USA and many other consumer related sites that out scams.

I then forwarded all the emails to the scam company ... well, lo and behold I got a nervous phone call from one of the reps saying that they were crediting my bank account .... and 3 days later it WAS credited .... however I'm the type of person that will go to the ends of the earth to get my money back via a scam .... I NEVER LET UP if I've been scammed.
