Re: Omega Marketing Solutions any one had dealings with them? (by Gina H.):
Yes I did close all my accounts. I tried calling Omega the day before yesterday when I found out about my bank account, but the answering machine picked up the whole day. I called again yesterday and a guy answered and said that Chris was out of the office and he would give him the message to call me. I never got a call. Before hand, Chris was always available when I called and he called me at least 3 times a day. You are so right what was on paper said nothing to what I was told over the phone, I wish that I had taped the conversations. Chris Brooks told me that there were at least 2 people who have put a percentage down on my resort already and was just waiting for me to make a decision. He told me that the minimum listed for sale was $18,000 and that I can go as high as $20,000. I told him that I want to get as much as I can. Hes said that once everything was done and the sale was final I would get the whole amount by a check or direct deposit if I so choose. He never gave me a time frame as to when everything would be finalized. He was so convincing. My son came up with a good point when I told him about the scam. He said, if Omega is a timeshare advertising company and I never paid them to advertise my timeshare or had any business dealings with them, how would the people know that I wanted to sell in the first place? How did the people who were interested in buying get my timeshare information if I never paid to have it advertised. Isn't that what Omega claims that they do, advertise your timeshare AFTER you pay the money. Another thought that never crossed my mind. Chris was a fast talker and a quick thinker. He just pushed the lie about the people waiting to buy and played on my financial emotion. What really burns me up is that my car has been broken down for 4 weeks, it needs a new engine. But I didn't want to use my credit cards, or borrow from my life insurance policy to do it. Then Omega Marketing called and I thought my prayers for money was answered. I ended up using my credit cards and borrowing from my life insurance policy anyway. I could have just used that money I gave those thieves to get my car repaired. Something has to be done about these people and we all need to do our part and ban together. I suggest bombarding 7 On Your Side, write your congressman, put in a report with the BBB and make this topic a suggestion for talk radio shows, go online to the network websites and see if they have a topic suggestion spot. I know that Oprah's website does. I'm definitely going to get the ball rolling. Enough is Enough!! first people got hit with these predatory mortgage loans, which resulted in thousands of people losing their homes, alot of homeless pets were left to die, and the economy took a nose dive. We as hard working, tax paying citizens of this country have to make our voice heard about these predators and get congress to pass and enforce harsh laws on these type of businesses. If what they are doing is not illegal, they will continue to prey on good people who have never heard of these company's and are unsuspecting victims rob them.
