In another post in another RedWeek forum, you indicated having ALREADY paid $1,995 to a different "upfront fee" scammer (Timeshare Advocacy International, to be specific). You also indicated that you are trying to get your money back (....good luck with that).I suggested that I am not greedy, I would take $20,000 and he can have the other $22,000 instead of the $3,000, never heard from him again .
I'm not rendering a judgement, just pointing out that you have now officially made it onto someone's "sucker list" by virtue of your having "paid up" at least once already. Those "sucker lists" seem to get well circulated among assorted scammers somehow. You have now been identified as a potential "mark" and you'll likely be pestered by other parasites also looking for some of your money. Some will claim to help you get your money back (which they can't) and they too are just another flavor of scammer.
The short version is that ANY entity seeking upfront fees is a scammer who does NOT have your best interests at heart. Avoid them ALL just as you would a highly infectious disease! Don't give ANY of them another penny!
