Faulty Timeshare Resale Company Steals Identities in Minnesota

These aren't the only wolves in Minnesota.

A legitimate party planning company in Minnesota has had its good name and website taken over by timeshare resale con artists recently. Events Etc was a completely legitimated company started in 1992 and dissolved in 2011. Months after they went out of business, their name was bought by a group out of Europe who then used their (at the time) good standing with the BBB to get timeshare owners in Mexico to try to resale their timeshares through them. In classic scam fashion, there were no buyers for the timeshares and the money taken in was kept by this group.

The Better Business Bureau was alerted to this company’s shameful procedures soon after they bought the Events Etc name. As always, whenever you want to sell your timeshare, get something in writing like Transfer Smart provides. Never pay anything unless you can get something in writing. Checking the BBB page of a company is always a good idea. This case was an aberration, one where a legitimate company’s name and address were bought and then used for a fraudulent purpose, putting it in a rare category. Usually timeshare companies have no listing on the BBB.

Timeshares In Iraq


Karbala is the third Holiest city in the Islamic faith, after Mecca and Medina, both of which are found in Saudi Arabia. Range Hospitality is building the first 5-Star hotel in the holy city of Karbala and selling timeshares there.

The Al-Rawdatain Residences will open in 2013 and will also be the largest hotel in the country, with 624 rooms. The main purpose is to house pilgrims to the Holy site Karbala. Thus, selling the rooms as timeshares makes sense for consumers. Unlike timeshares in the United States or Mexico, these timeshares would actually be used by the owner in perpetuity.

Munaf Ali, CEO Range Hospitality, said: “We found that Iraq offers a very favorable foreign investment environment making it a lucrative market for investment. Thus finding a gap in luxury accommodation across all spectrums, we went ahead with this large development to cater to over 20 million pilgrims who visit Karbala every year, and face acute shortage of residences. The fully furnished and serviced Al Rawdatain Residences suites will offer 24-hour security, crèche services, business centre, in-suite dining, four restaurants offering a large variety of cuisines and child care facilities.”

The hotel is designed by Dewan Architects and Engineers, and construction began in August 14th, 2010. It will open “Sometime in 2013,” Majaraj said. Religious tourism has grown in Iraq since the ouster of Saddam Hussein. The company donates 20% of their profits to charity.

The Only Sure Thing is a Transfer Smart


Recently, Wired Magazine posited the question over what makes a television smart. Many companies are trying to make the television more user-friendly to fit the likes and behavior of its user. Some believe that the television should adopt a similar model to the smartphone with applications and user interface. They believe that the television should adapt to its user and operate accordingly. The whole idea of smart is interesting on its own.

Transfer Smart and Avoid Scam Artists


If you receive a phone call from US Financial Trust saying that they have found a prospective buyer for your timeshare, hang up the phone immediately. According to Fox 11 out of Arizona, the Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona is investigating claims from timeshare owners about unscrupulous actions taken by US Financial. 

US Financial Trust, a company with a fictitious Arizona address, called timeshare owners saying that they had a buyer for their timeshare. All the timeshare owner would have to do is pay an opening and closing fee, and they would have timeshare relief forever. Unfortunately, once the payment was made, they would hear nothing from the company and the timeshare would still be theirs.

When the Better Business Bureau called and asked US Financial Trust why they were giving out a fake address, they claimed that they were actually there. When investigated, it was learned that a law firm actually occupied the space that US Financial Trust said that it did. It appears that the company has done similar practices in other states as well. As long as there is a market for timeshare relief, it will continue to find victims. 

There are a million reasons why someone would want to get rid of their timeshares. Some don't want their timeshare anymore because they want more freedom with their vacation plans. Others have a different familial situation than they once had where a family destination doesn't make as much sense. Others simply can't afford the timeshare anymore. The costs of timeshares and maintenance fees are rising and income simply isn't. People are desperate. That's how US Financial Trust can exist.

If you want timeshare relief, you can transfer smart and avoid the calls from scam artists only trying to get your money. When you transfer smart, you will not have to pay any upfront fees and will be dealing with a reputable company eager to help you find timeshare relief. Contact us today for more information.
