Re: Please report upfront fee scammers to Attorney General .... there's power in numbers ... Florida has begun (by Robert S.):
It appears that one has to have "upfront scammers" in order to have any reply for Florida attorney general to reply. on my request for westgate did not follow the procedure in a transfer sale for the price or $250, Westgate advised that they would pay $250 and take the unit back. Well this disapointed the buyer, so, after 3 letters to corporate headquarters and also filed a report to BBB of Florida. In my conversation with westgate, she advised that she had never heard of the 30 day period for westgate to advise that they were going to repurchase. After a 1/2 hour of discussion, a return call was made and westgate corporate advised that they would not excercise their right and let the property pass throught to the intented new buyer. It appeared that westgate was more interested in replying to BBB report. There were also certified letters mailed to 3 or the croporate offices. I am sure that in one of the corporate office, that someone decided that this is not worth any of executive time for $250. I recieved a FORM LETTER from someone from the attorney general office, He advised me to write to Missouri attorney general, and my reply it was not worth the time. It appears that a reply to the the better business bureau was more important to westgate. my reply, ther are only 635 complaints on the web site, so why bother. as far as scammers go , a friend of mine has paid some ozark liquidators $3,900 and has to pay 2012 mt. fee, to sell the Mariott property in Palm Springs. Why not just list it for $500. and Mariott may purchased it back for that price instead of paying almost $6,000 up front to some firm to dispose of it.. .
