Re: Tele Teton Corporation (by Robert T.):
I'm so glad to have found all this information about World Wide Global Funding and First Financial Capital. We've had the exact same scenario! Last November we received a blind call from a Mr. Gabriel Harding from World Wide Global Funding, sayng they had a "pre-qualified" buyer for our Hawaiian Timeshare. His telephone number was (352) 414-5915. By November 7th, we had reached agreement on the terms and conditions, signed a Sales Agreement, and negotiated our pre-paid "Closing Costs" as $900 (marked down from the originally requested $1800.) Unfortunately, we were dumb enough to pay this! As others have mentioned, we are no longer able to contact anyone at World Wide Global Funding. No matter which of their phone numbers we dial, we end up getting the same recording that they are closing for the year-end holidays, and can be reached after January 2nd. Where are they now?
Fast forward to early January. We got another blind call from a Robert Chaves (aka Harris or Chapman or Dawson) from First Financial Capital in Wilmington DE. Same phone number (302-332-6783) but different last name. (My wife swears she recognizes Robert's voice from some prior Time Share sale mis-adventure.!) Same line of patter as reported elsewhere. " First Financial is a Loan Companay that is processing our Time Share sale, and has set the Closing Date in mid-March." First Financial sent us a Contract to sign and fund, to the tune of $2900. Their contract varied greatly from the Sales Agreement we had previously negotiated with World Wide Global Funding, but when we wanted to clarify and/or change their Contract, Robert balked. He also wanted the $2900 in up-front money to be sent ASAP by wire transfer to their First Financial Recovery account at Sun Trust Bank. Fortunately, we have not sent any money to them, nor will we anytime soon! The email address used by First Financial Capital is: clients@firstfinancialtoday.com. We're still awaiting a final Contract revision and telephone call from Robert and his "legal staff". Knowing what I know now, I'm liable to tell Robert what he can do with his contract!
During the past three years, we have "invested" more than $9,000 with nine different Time Share sellers, all of whom have turned out to be dishonest scoundrels like Robert. It seems to us that a Class Action Law Suit against all these rip-off artists is long overdue. How does one go about making this happen? We would certainly be interested in supporting such a cause.
