I was contacted by Title and Transfer Services, LLC who was supposedly going to provide the title for sale of my Shell Vacations Timeshare. I had originally been contacted by "Innovative" in New York who located a buyer for my timeshare at a cost of around $2000 and told me the sale would close in 60-90 days. At approximately 90 days I started calling the salesman "Bob" from Innovative to let him know I had not received a check or any information regarding the sale of my timeshare. When I could reach him, he said he would have to get back to me. Most times I just left him messages. Several days later, I was contacted by Michael Hunt from "Title and Transfer Services, LLC" who said they would be handling the final sale and that I needed to pay taxes of $2342 to complete the sale. I requested they send me a copy of the contract which they did. As I was leaving on vacation the next week, they said that I should overnight the money by certified check by UPS or FedEx in order to receive the sales check by the time I left. I have the receipt and paperwork for this and it was done on 10/6/11. I was requested to contact them with the tracking number. A few days later I was again contacted by Michael Hunt who said that Shell had provided me with 6 weeks additional for bonuses (which I guess I believed was true at the time) and that I could receive an additional $18,000 from the buyer who agreed to pay this if I also then paid an additional tax of $2874 again by certified check and overnighted by Fed Ex or UPS. This was done on 10/11/11. Again, I have all the paperwork for this transaction. When I returned from my trip and the sales check had not arrived I started calling Mr Hunt numerous times and leaving messages with no return calls. Once I did reach him he told me another guy had my file and he would have him call me back. Since this time most of the phone numbers are no longer in existence. I contacted the Kissimmee PD who said that the address was out of their jurisdiction and referred me to the Polk County Sheriff's Office in Winterhaven, FL. I have spoken to the Fraud Sheriff there and he assigned the case to one of his detectives who has not contacted me yet. I did file a local police report in Fairfax, CA where I live and this was faxed to the Fraud Sheriff/Detective in the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
