I'm neither Don P nor JJ but I do agree. This is another scam in the timeshare circles. Sometimes the people who claim they can get your money back from the original scam are indeed the same people who scammed you.
There are at least two methods to their scam. Let's say the first scam operation stung you for $1200. The "new" scam artist will say "We charge a 40% commission ($480)." The original scam artist sends you a refund check for $1200. Then the recovery scam artist demands that you send him his $480 commission. After he cashes your check, the $1200 that you received then bounces because it was a fake.
The other method is virtually the same but the first scam operator credits the credit card that you charged his scam fee for $1200. After that, the recovery scam demands that you send him his $4800 cut. After he receives it, the credit on your credit card is reversed because the original scam person challenges the credit because he fulfilled his side of the contract and the credit card company sides with him.
