I have contacted the Attorney General in Florida about this telemarketing family of scammers. I was told there are only 14 other people who have filed complaints about this mother and daughter ripoff team. They have another, older organization called Resorts International Marketing, also known as Vacation Weeks. This is a very slick, very practiced method of taking unsuspecting peoples' money and doing absolutely nothing. Royal is run by Regina Almstead and Resorts international is run by Phaedra Almstead.

As of recently, their telemarketing license (which they only got in the past year has expired. I also contacted a class-action lawyer. He was unwilling to take the case because of the fact that these people operate in an office with a few phone lines and can disappear overnight.

I am disgusted with Mr. Chavez of Grupo Mayan for promoting these guttersnipes. As for Royal Sunset group, they are connected by marriage to a person high on the totem pole. I'd like to run them out on a pole!!!

To everyone who has been scammed by these pieces of trash, complain to the attorney general in Florida. Complain to the resorts that promote them. I have included an interesting source of information collected about these thieves- it tells an interwoven story with Mexican timeshares: http://70.88.168.235:61500/PDF%20Files/SUNSET%20GROUP%20SUMMARY-HildredWooley0507.pdf KEEP THE FORUM GOING! March on Lighthouse Pt., FL (ROYAL) and Pompano Beach, FL (Resorts)!!!!!!!

Hello, The letter I just got from the BBB said after 2 attempts with no reply they were closeng the file. I purchased form the Grupo Mayan and have informed them of this scam. They told me that they have to show that they sell at least 40 percent of their listings to be on their unofficial recomendation list. If you have the email address of the attorney general in Fla I will be happy to add my complaint to their list.

The BBB is a waste of time- they are powerless to recoup money people have invested. Many say they are just a self-sustained bureau that is really a shell, a front.
