Re: How legitimate is Global Property Services for selling Diamond Resorts property? (by R P.):

Then I started to google his name on the internet and this Global Property Services and found out from you guys he's been scamming a lot of people since 2011 (or maybe the last 14 years experience he told me he had) and still doing it. That address he gave me was a 5000 sq.ft. vacant building available for lease. I don't think he's going to call me again but if he does, I will ask him to send me the paperwork and give it to our BBB office and ask our local tv stations to do an investigation and stop him altogether from doing it to other people. I'm just worried about his prospective victims who do not have any access to internet. This man ruined my entire day yesterday.
What you did by investigating him is called 'due diligence' .... it would be a good thing if all people would do the same .... all libraries have internet access available .... there's no way on this earth that I would send that amount of money (upfront fee) to an unknown entity that called me out of the blue with such a wonderful proposition if only I would send him a $700+ upfront fee.
I don't know how many timeshare resorts were around before the internet became almost a household staple but I would imagine the scammers made a fortune back then with no way for people to investigate them.
