Global Vacation system (by Kristen H.):

We are being called by Rick Jones from Global Vacation Systems. It comes up as an 817 area code. They're offering $28k for a $3000 timeshare, citing they're trying to write off the resort due to poor tourism because of the violence in Mexico these days.

Whoopee! $28000 for a $3000 timeshare? I'm in! Sound too good to be true? Probably. If they ask for any money up front, then I'll know for sure.

My advice for anyone who hears from these people: DON'T SEND ANY MONEY OR GIVE ANY WIRE ACCOUNT INFORMATION (even if they say they'll wire money to your account - because they can try to pull money from you).

Here's the information on the guy who's contacting me: (though my caller ID says he's calling from 817-210-4068)
