Choice Funding USA
Complaint 94423 Details

I received a call from Kami Mercer from Choice funding saying that they have a buyer for my time share in Puerto Vallarta, Velas Vallarta Suite Resort for the amount of $12,500.00. I researched the company (with the exception of BBB my fault) and everything looked great on the website and with the Elite Transfer & Title company. I than received a call from Cynthia Fields that they need me to send a total of $499.00 to Elite Transfer to have the title search done. So I sent the first check to them the first check on Dec.2nd for $250.00,than I received another call saying that I can now send the rest of the money to finish the title search which i sent on Dec. 30 for a total of $249.00 checks cashed by Stephanie Velgara (after getting a copy of my checks to send to the BBB). So I was told by Kami Mercer that the sale would be finalized by Feb. 17, 2012. Well that day passed, left many messages etc. Finally got a return call from Michael Harper which he than told me that the sale had been held up because of the mexican laws for closing that they would need another $2000.00 from me. I told him no cant send that amount of money dont have it.. so he kept asking me what I could do.. I said that I could get another $400.00 which he stated that would work after he talked to James Camden, and that I would recieve the amount of $12,500.00 for the sale re-imburse me for the the money that was sent to Elite and for the $400.00 for the wire transfer for the mexican law. So I wired the funds for $400.00 to J.P. Morgan Chase Bank Address 5465 North Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando, Fl 32810 Routing number 267084131 Account #942631516. Transfered on Feb. 24th. Michael Harper called and stated that they recieved the transfer and that I will be contacted in a couple of days to get everything set up to mail the checks. After that date I never got a call back, email etc. So I knew that I got scammed.. So I filed a complaint with BBB on March 8, 2011 and with the Federal Trade Commission. I just heard from BBB March 26th said that they can not get a hold of anyone there and the case was closed. They gave me another place to contact. Now my friend sent me several sites and I will be filling on them also. I am also going to contact the DA in Clermont Florida. The web page is not up any longer but it still goes to the answering machine... 877-557-9514...
