Resort Condos Plus Florida address (by Ross W.):

Resort Condos Plus is doing business at 320 N. Magnolia Ave Orlando, FL 32801 Suite ??? This location is a temporary lease. The 'employees' all use alias idenities on the phone. All calls are made on laptop computers with Skype telephone accounts. This allows RCP to pick phone numbers with any area code to pretend they are located anywhere in the country. The scam starts with a lower level scammer calling condo owners who want to sell their condo. These leads are generated many different ways and passed (and sometimes sold) to others in the office. If you have ever fallen for this scam in the past you are considered a super lead. Your info is kept on a lead sheet with your credit card number if available and photocopied over and over again to be passed on to the never ending parade of new employees who are promised easy money or resold to the hungry closer desperate to get any deal. The titles and positions of the various company employees are completely made up in order to close any deal any way. Some closers are slicker than others offering smooth explanations for your objections and some closers are just plain aggressive and rude to push you into giving a credit card number right now. Other department heads are made up on a per call basis to tell the caller what they want to hear. In the end a few parts of the presentation are always the same. They promise you they have a buyer for your condo. They have to have your money up front in the form of a credit card. They coach you to lie about being promised a buyer during the recorded verification process (which gets them off the hook when you dispute the credit card charge). They never have a buyer for your TS. They never never ever refund you money. It is gone forever and you are out of luck!!

This company is set up as a scam from the beginning. There is no customer service dept, finance dept, legal dept, or any other department. It's a small leased office space in downtown Orlando, Florida run by one or two boss types and 2 to 10 employees and closers that are doing whatever it takes to get you credit card number. Some employees even work out of their homes. All names and titles and departments are completely made up. You don't have any recourse after they get your number. NONE!!!

And consider this as an added bonus. If you do fall for this scam and give up your credit card number it will live on long after the deal even if you do manage to get Visa to refund your money. I heard a story about one or two employees with a common personal problem that requires extra cash every day. Those individuals would search lead sheets for active credit card numbers and use them to purchase whatever they could to get through another day. Cell phone activation seems to be a particularly easy item to purchase with someone else's credit card. If you happen to catch the fraud on your statement, the cell phone is just cut off and another credit card is found in the pile of lead sheets and the cell phone is paid up for another month.

Some of you have asked how do these people sleep at night? I would tell you that these people have a completely different outlook on life than you or I. They have huge egos and a sense of entitlement that is hard to believe. When you mix in drug and alcohol problems these people cease to function as normal predictable human beings. Please believe me when I tell you bad people are out there waiting to take your hard earned money. They are preying on the weak and uninformed. They found a way to get into your life by promising a sale for your timeshare. It's very easy to get excited about selling you unit and you just stop thinking and trust the voice on the other end of the line.... no matter what that little voice in your head is saying.

Be careful, take your time and don't give your money away up front!!
