Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
I was contacted by Chris Williams from Real Destinations and Vacations. He asked if I was interested in selling my timeshare at Wetsgate Resorts in Gatlinburg Tennessee. I said I was and asked immediately what was cost. He replied initially he would send me contract to review and
sign and return with a cashiers check made out to RDV Group in the amount of $1580.00 which as the contract stated was fully refunded at close of the sale. I reviewed and signed and sent check. This was done and sent on 11-22-2019 by Fedx. He sent me the fedx label by email.This was to close within 60 days from contrct date. I checked in with him and he said had been sent to processing department.
We should have closed before January 14,2020. However I got a call from Jennifer Scott who sent an FDA form (funds distribution authorization)
and a request for a tax of $1680 on the $16,800 i was to receive for my timeshare. We kinda went back and forth about and finally I signed the form and sent the $1680.00 to RDV Group. She said it was to late to cancel contract. If I did I would not get my initial $1580 back as stated in the
contract. Both checks were made out to RDV Group for deposit only were suppose to go into a escrow account until closing.I have called left messages for Chris Williiams, Jennifer Scott,the customer service for two weeks now and all I get are voicemails and no respone to email.
I have email the company (Got email off website) to no avail.So long story short this company and these are scammers.
Called my bank today and was able to determine both checks sent to RDV Group for deposit went into an account called Gareway Commons.
