Re: Timeshare buying scam- watch for "Albert Brown" or "Judy Boulay" (by Owen W.):
they almost got me, if it was not for the wire transfer being flagged by Western Union. After speaking to "Mr Kaplan" and hearing how adamant he was about getting the wire transfer to go through, I finally told him that I would just do a bank transfer to get him to stop calling/emailing/harassing me. that gave me time to have check that was sent to me verified. Bank called the issuing bank, who then reported it was fake. I then cancelled the transaction, then sent him a nice email which was never responded to, go figure. Hopefully there will be enough people that have this tried on them and they get caught, but that will most likely not happen. The phone numbers that I had were all overseas, so I am not sure FBI, or whoever, can do anything. Sucks, but that is the world we live in, people trying to make money without working.
