Re: Anyone heard of Helios Commodity purchasing timeshares? (by Melinda W.):

I've been dealing with Helios Commodities for over a year. They keep having what seem to be legit legal fees (temporary Mexican citizenship, tax ID). Then when the bank was supposed to pay me they suspected money laundering and asked for a bond. Both the bank and Helios promised, in writing, to repay the bond. When the bank tried to wire the money to me, they made a mistake in the account number and did not claim responsibility for it. So, off to another bank. Again the bond for money laundering and a promise to pay it back. While everything is backed with what appears to be legitimate legal paper, my red flags are up. Anyone dealt with this company? What was your experience?
