Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

"Joe Beck" of "Velocity Timeshare Sales" called from (407) 340-8681 saying he was "referred" by another company that I wanted to sell my timeshare. I’m not sure how he got my information since I haven’t posted anything at all! I asked how he was referred because I didn’t post anything and he said "I’m not sure exactly where because I talk to lots of people". He called Thursday, and said everything could be sold by Monday (which was a holiday) and said he "already had a buyer". He said he would file all the paperwork to get everything switched and he would send me all the paperwork to my email to review and see the check so I could call the bank and verify it was "legit". The first "filing cost" he asked for was $140, and to send it through Money Gram because they stopped taking credit/debit information for "security reasons", and that in a weeks time they would have the Paypal set up. I’m so eager to sell my timeshare I stupidly did it, even though I knew it was stupid. He would call every time he said he would. And from Thursday to Monday I waited for the PDF email, that NEVER came, and he said he needed another $120 for another "filing charge", and he just kept telling me he was busy filing etc. When I asked on Monday to give me phone numbers to his manager and filing coordinator, he 3-wayed me to his filing coordinator Nathan Johnson, who just relayed information regarding the payments I’ve made and that the "last one" of $115 was not yet paid. I asked for his direct phone number, but gave me the office number. I called the number and the message said "this phone number does not accept incoming calls"!! His emails said the sender was "David Mack" (from Marvel BTW), but his signature was "Joe". I searched ALL OVER the internet before I paid anything but found not one bad thing about Velocity Timeshare Sales except their website, which btw doesn’t look super official, so I thought it could be okay. I was WRONG. I called everywhere I could to find out if they were legit. I finally called the FBI to check to see if there was any information on them, and they said no, but little things I said about our convos weren’t adding up. As soon as I told them the payments were through MoneyGram she instantly said it was SCAM and don’t pay anything else, and stop our convos with him. I then called the Orange County Convention Center, Florida CA where apparently they are located, and they said there is lots of timeshare spots around there but NONE NAMED "VELOCITY TIMESHARE SALES". I called Joe back to say we were no longer interested in selling our timeshare at this point. He said "Ok, thanks, bye." and just hung up on me!! I wanted it so badly to be true. Joe sounded SO PROFESSIONAL and knew EVERY little detail regarding what happens as you file etc. These scammers are so good. DO NOT TRUST VELOCITY TIMESHARE SALES – THEY ARE NOT REAL. I lost $260 in total….that’s small in comparison with some…but still. I asked for my money back since they said it was guaranteed back, but Joe told me because I was the one who backed out, I wouldn’t get my money back. Of course. Like I said, I haven’t seen one thing about Velocity Timeshare sales, so I definitely wanted to share my story for others who might hear from them. SCAM SCAM SCAM!!
