Yes; same story. Playa del Sol timeshare. Got called out of the blue by Holiday Property Management saying they represented a pharmaceutical co. I signed back a contract with the understanding that no up front money was required. Then they asked me to wire them a fee of 8% to be refunded at closing, which I foolishly did. Then they said I needed to send an additional 16%, which sent red flags up. I tried to Google map addresses for both Reliance Escrow and HPM, but neither business is listed at the address they provide. I left a message with Montgomery TX police hoping they will investigate while the deal is still alive.

Fellow fool here. Last week I sent them $2430 and yesterday they called back asking for $4400 more. I had previously searched for complaints about them on Google, but found nothing. Yesterday I found this website / forum. Wish I had found it a week ago.

I checked with the Texas AG website and they recommend starting with your local DA, which I plan to do this morning. Reply back here and let me know if you get anywhere with legal action of your own. I will do the same.
