Re: Ace Timeshare Inc (by Mary D.):
I had a call yesterday from a Legal Assistance Team.com in Florida which was seeking information on any up-front fee scams we might have given money to in the past 5 years. The scammers themselves have probably changed names and disappeared, but this entity attempts to get redress from the credit card company with the belief that they should be questioning these charges. (No, he did not ask me my credit card number!) This firm was trying to find people who could document recent losses of this sort and was building a list of up-front fee companies. (I didn't qualify.)
I suggested that, if this was on the up and up, discussion boards such as this were an ideal way to get feed-back on bad experiences such as he was seeking. He was interested but thought he had better check with his firm about the legalities of doing this. Maybe we will be seeing something regarding this here if he gets a thumbs up. Might this have something to do with the investigation by the Florida Attorney General Ken mentions? MD
