Re: Tele Teton Corporation (by Robert T.):

Here's an update to my previous posting in January. It shows just how far these shysters will go to try to make a buck! On January 25th, I called Mr. Robert "Chapman" of First Financial Capital, and told him we were not interested in his services. I also told him where he could put his contract.

Surprisingly, on February 1st, I received a phone call from Robert "Chapman," saying that the next day I would receive a phone call from a "Los Angeles Attorney", who would put all our concerns to rest, and who would facilitate in completing our pending Timeshare Sale. Sure enough, the next morning we received a call from someone calling himself Jack H. Moore, Esq., who promised to "get the job done" for us. He said he had received all of our previous paperwork from Robert Chapman, and was ready to proceed to close the sale. He reiterated that the buyers had already paid their down payment, and were anxious to proceed. He said that he had just emailed the sales contract to us for our review and signature, and would call us back in half an hour to see if we had any questions. Or we could call him back at (213) 841-8757 (this is a Los Angeles area code.)

While waiting for his email, we researched the Los Angeles Office of the California State Bar Association. Sure enough, they had a listing for Moore, John H., from Chula Vista CA. Mr. Moore joined the Bar in June 1912, and is listed as deceased! We also had our daughter, who works in Los Angeles, call the phone number given by "Jack H. Moore". As soon as she asked to speak with Attorney Jack H. Moore, whom ever answered the phone immediately hung up. The "Contract" emailed by "Jack H. Moore" was basically the same as the previous contract received from First Financial Capital, but this time it was on a different Letterhead: Vacation Options America Your #1 Source for Settlement and Closing; 601 S. Figueroa St. Suite 4050 Los Angeles CA 90017. Ofice: (877) 333-5162, FAX: (877) 702-0992 www.vacationoptionsamerica.com email: processing@vacationoptionsamerica.com

Although this contract was esentially the same as the one previously received from First Financial Capital, the names of the alleged Buyers were not the same, and it still contained several of the same errors that we had previously tried to correct with Robert "Chapman'. However, the new contract still demanded the same old "up front" fee of $2,900.00, for Document/Stamp Tax Fees & Legal Recording Fee!

Also included was a RECOVERY FORM, which authorized Vacation Options America to attempt to recover all the fees we have previously paid to other non-performing shysters who took our money and did nothing.

We obviously did not sign and fax back the Contracts, as requested! We were, however, prepared to jump all over "Mr. Moore, Esq.", should he ever call us back! Sure enough, he did call once more. When my wife answered the call, our caller got so flumexed that he asked if "Mr. Moore" was there, completely forgetting that he was Mr. Moore! Recognizing his goof, he immediately hung up, and we haven't heard from him - or anyone else from that particuclar scam - since.

This all goes to show the great lengths that these professional scammers will go to. There's got to be some coordinated way to put these folks away!
