After an investigation completed by the Better Business Bureau it has been revealed that South Park Resorts a ficticious resale company who on record are based out of Amarillo, Texas have been purposely deceiving potential clients out of their hard earned cash by demanding up front fees in connection to the purchase of their Timeshare Ownership.
Many consumers all over the country began to get suspicious when the company who claim to buy your timeshare outright ceased contact soon after receiving the $175 fee which they advised was to cover taxes, a title search and also transfer costs. After being instructed to use the “money in minutes” option on the wire transfer as a speedy alternate to the next day option, the cash is then wired to an account in Daytona, Florida. When this was questioned by one unwitting client they were informed the company had their headquarters in Daytona.
The thorough investigation found that although the company state they are situated at an address on Bell Street, Amarillo, Texas they are not known at that premises and any mail is returned to sender as unknown at that address. After further attempts to gain contact both by call and email the company is completely unresponsive.
With additional examination into how the company contacted these unsuspecting victims, Better Business Bureau found that all were contacted by either email or cold call consisting of:
“Thank you for allowing our Company to present you with our clients Signed offer to Purchase your Vacation Property.”
On tracing the email Better Business Bureau uncovered an individual named Gary Stone with a contact number of 806-318-8132 who the emails and calls had been routed through and with again no response clients became increasingly worried.
