If you have been a victim of timeshare fraud, you should report the fraud to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at https://www.ic3.gov and consider filing a criminal complaint with the attorney general’s office in the state where the resort is located.
The following steps should be taken:
Report the fraud: Contact FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and file a formal complaint with the FBI’s IC3 at https://www.ic3.gov.
State Attorney General: File a criminal complaint with the attorney general’s office in the state where the resort is located.
Seek legal advice: Consult an attorney. If you believe you have a solid case, seek the advice of an attorney specializing in consumer protection or fraud.
Power of Attorney: If you plan to file a complaint in Mexico, consider hiring an lawyer with a valid power of attorney.
Protect Yourself from Future Scams:
Beware of unsolicited calls, texts, or emails. Scammers often use aggressive tactics and time-sensitive offers. Always research the entities you contact and verify the legitimacy of the companies or individuals before sharing any information or making payments.
Avoid “free” offers: Be wary of promises of free meals or gifts, as these are often part of a scam.
Consider Alternatives to Timeshare Sales Companies: Instead of using a timeshare sales company, consider contacting the resort developer directly or selling your timeshare on your own.
