Re: Please report upfront fee scammers to Attorney General .... there's power in numbers ... Florida has begun (by Virginia L.):
My husband and I got answering machine saying it was full and to call back later. The next time I called and left a message but no one returned my call. The third time I called and an answering service said that RRA reps were in a meeting. I left a message for Carrie Stevenson (the person we talked to and who sent us documents with instructions). The next day, I received a call fromKelly Bacca, who tried to convince me to try a third time to get Bank of America to refund our $1800 (it would be the bank that determined the contract was binding on us because we did not cancel the contract with Buyatimeshare.com within 72 hours. While rushing me, Kelly talked and a dog was barking in the background. Not very professional to say the least. RRA has already collected the $630 fee from my credit card despite the fact that I have not signed the contract and there has been no refund. Now I have to write and cancel with RRA AND file a dispute with the bank against RRA to try to recover my $630. This makes 3 timeshare resale gimmicks and/or outright scams plus RRA to the tune of over $4000. Yes, I do intend to report this to the Attorney General of the United States. But, that won't give us back our money. Fast talking, high pressure people calling you and asking for money up front and your credit card information should be a warning...A RED FLAG. We are on a fixed income and retired. Let this serve as a caution to others like us who, once naive, think we may have learned our lesson at a high cost.
