Q: How do I get compensated for Timeshare fraud? I have a team calling me saying that they can get my money back if I pay t
I am a victim of Time Share Resale fraud. I reported it to the state of FL. Now some 3 or 4 yrs later I now have a company named Consult and Recover saying that I have been approved for slot 63 of 65 for a payout since the Fraudulent people have been caught. The money is in an offshore account and all I have to do is pay the international taxes and the money is mine. Does this sound anything near legal? The attorney who I have been talking to that is taking care of the international part of the transaction is Thomas Michael Albright, CA BAR #245492. I am trying to find out if this is a Legitimate
case or are they trying to steal my money again?
A: From just reading your question, the first impression is that you're dealing with a scam. However, if that CA attorney checks out, then it may not be a scam. One would need much more information to make that determination.
A: I came across you question because I have client that was scammed in a similar way. Because it's such a common scam, I wrote an article about it that you may find helpful. You can find it here: https://targheelaw.com/article
