First Option Property Management

This is absolutely a scam. Just hang up. A verbatim scam took me for $6000 a couple months ago. I get calls all the time with the same angle. Once you get into it they will need transfer fees up front. Then an internal problem will come up and you will need to pay their commission first. All will be done. Y wire transfer which means you can never recover the money. I don't recall why I had to send them the second $3000 but since it was a wire transfer to a Mexican bank it is long gone too

has anyone actually sold their time share using this company????

I was contacted by them and they made an offer to buy my time share in Mexico, I told him I was concerned about being scammed and he said they were a very legal company. They sent me a contract I had to send $2800 to mexico by wire transfer and I would be paid $28000 for my time share and paid back for the $2800. I did that, one week before payment due me on July 12, 2012 I got an email and call I needed to send $4400 more for new tax law in mexico to sell a time share, now I knew it was a scam and started looking on line more, the escrow compay is is Green Leaf Escrow Services, I did find them in South Dekota, I am contacting the Attorney general to file a complaint, NO ONE SHould Trust them, we need to put the word out all over the net this is a Scam.

This company contacted me with a an offer of a sale of out time shares.They mailed a contract and demanded transfer fee to some mexican bank. I refused to do so.The offer was terminated.This kind of scam is very prevalent. I was defrauded of my transfer fee of $ 8,800 by an escrow co. Bellwhether capital group located in indianapolis, IN. This company was retained by approved property management located in chicago. I have complained to the Federal Trade commission in Washington. J.Garg

Yes, after reading all the postings about First Option, it is clear that the company is engaged in questionable real estate practices, I got the same cold call as the other potential targeted victims, I also explained to them that i was willing to sell as long as the escrow is done on my terms, as a seller I have that right and that all purchase funds should be deposited into escrow and the escrow officer will be in charge of verifying that all deposited funds can be cleared before transfer of ownership. I guess the sales agent from Option One didn't know what I was talking about. In summary, I would like to know if this company is licensed in New Mexico to sell or manage real estate. If it looks too good to be true.....probably is a rotten fish.

My advise. Be careful California Real Estate broker since 1987

Don't send any money, tell them that you want to choose your own escrow company, and you will never hear from them again. Good Luck.

I got scammed of $4000 that the contract told me to send to a beneficiary in Mexico. Signed a contract and everything! Told me it was to transfer ownership of the timeshare so the new ownder could title it, blah blah. and that i would be refunded it by the buyer! Also that an escrow account was set up and had all the money sitting there waiting to close on July 13th. Then I got another call saying that they needed the Mexican Taxes for selling it to be paid...it was like $7K. I said no and my money for the fees would be returned...not a penny! Now I try to call First Option...John Young or Greenleaf...Brian Wilson...the call dies before it rings and the mailbox is full! Bye Bye $4K!!

they are criminals, should be put to jail and kept there foreever.

This company is a scam. The first Option people name is Rebeca Rodriguez, and Ury Gidds and the Green Leaf Escrow the name of the people are James Sloan and the general manager James Wagner and the lady who send the e-mail is Jazmin Gonzalez. I send $2680 to Banco Mercantil del Norte S.A. in Mexico and the beneficiary in Mexico was Agencias de Tranferencia International G12 S.A. de C.V. , this people took my money, they never call me they request more money but I said not. I will go my my bank to get some information with Banco Mercantil. We need need help I'm unemployed and this was a good way to get some money.

These 2 companys are scammers. they contacted us and sent us a contract and asked us to call our agent before signing. No money up front but 5% commission fee at closing. I guess we were the lucky ones this time since they did not call back. If these companies are not legal why doesn't someone put all the names of all the people that work there on a alert file with police as scammers then maybe they would think twice about working for these companies. I am assuming that all the employees know that the company that they work for are not legal. Samantha Meyers sent the proposal1-505-908-9970. Debbie Hill Contracts department 1-505-514-6629.
