Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

hello august g4,

the scam and fraud by TMC began with lies told to prospective purchasers at the infamous 2nd-floor sales office. immediately after the sale to us unsuspecting buyers, the fraud kicked in and has continued to this day with the exorbitant maintenance fees (that we were originally told would rise minimally over the years....as if a 4 to 500% increase meets the definition of "minimally.")

be assured that the buy-back is a sham/fraud considering that if one paid, for example, $50,000+ for one week at TMC, and their artificial buy-back worth is $100, there's something ROTTEN IN NEW YORK CITY. once individual buy- (or give) backs are complete, the new resale value of our former property immediately increases even beyond our $50,000+++original purchase price in the hands of TMC/BLUEGREEN, THE NEW DEED HOLDER AFTER THE GIVE-BACKS.

keep in mind that one of the lies laid on us at the sales pitch was that our TMC real estate investment would, without question, increase and that purchasing would indeed be a wonderful value-increasement investment. by all means, the value of the property has substantially increased, but not to owners' benefit. a $100 give-back payment obviates that premise. on the other hand, the current value, given new york city's property worth, has skyrocketed to the benefit of TMC/BLUEGREEN, especially having to pay only $100 for it via the give-back policy.

to answer your question in my opinion, is a resounding -----yes, the give-back is another sham and, lest we be remiss by leaving out a verified additional definition, a MEGA- FRAUD as well.

I received all the papers today for the give back. Has anyone signed them and relieved themselves of this nightmare? Or is it yet another scam from TMC?
