Complaint 29576 Details

Originally I was contacted by a company in NY called "Innovative" re the sale of my Shell Vacations Timeshare. I paid them over $2500 as the locator of a buyer. They sent me a contract which I have a copy of. I would also like to make a complaint against them. "Bob" told me the sale would close in 60-90 days. At 90 days, when I hadn't heard or received any word of the sale, I contacted him and his company. Eventually, I received a call from the above referenced company from Michael Hunt in Kissimmee, FL 34759-4410. Address is 502 Albatross Dr, Ste B. Phone contact #'s are: (407) 952-4730 and cell is (407) 300-4599. They had all the info provided to "Bob" re my timeshare and emailed me a copy of the contract from Innovative. Mr Hunt stated I had to send him $2342 by certified check and overnight it to him (FedEx fee of $36.58) which I did. He called a few days later and said that Shell had provided me with some extra weeks of vacation time for some upgrades I made (which I remembered was true). He said I would receive an extra $18,000 if I sold these weeks to the buyer and she was interested in these as well. He then said I needed to send him another $2874 for taxes for this sale, also to be overnighted with an additional UPS fee of $39.76. I have copies of all of this documentation and receipts. He used the excuse of my travel plans to say everything could be expedited by overnighting these certified checks so that I could receive the sales check by Thursday as I was leaving on Friday. On Thursday, he told me the deal would not be closing until Friday and he was sorry. He told me he could send the certified check anyway and I didn't need to sign for it and I'd have it upon my return. When I returned the following Friday, there was no check and I called him on his cell and he actually answered which he has not done so since except when he thought I was another client calling back that he was in the process of scamming. He told me he would call me Monday (yesterday) morning to reschedule the delivery of my certified check and asked me to call back and leave my #s which I did. On Monday I called as he never called me that day and he told me someone else had my file. I asked him to call back when he had spoken with that person or to have that person call me. Neither ever called back. I have left numerous messages today re my thoughts that the whole deal was a scam and that I planned to hire an attorney and make a complaint to the Florida Attorney General's Office which I did prior to this. I need to know if anyone else has been scammed by either of these companies and what I can do to get my money back. In the meantime, Shell Vacations keeps calling and hassling me to pay my dues and monthly mortgage fees which I can barely afford without starving myself. Can I report to them re this case of fraud and put my fees on hold? How can I retrieve my money back? Do I need to hire an attorney?
