On Wednesday Orlando Police raided nine timeshare businesses and took about 20 people in for questioning. An Orlando timeshare station, WFTV Channel 9, was at the scene and shot this video. According to the report these businesses all are related, and one of them was identified as Jams Management. The video WFTV shot was at a location on Lake Ellenor Drive. Here’s their location on Google Maps.
These companies had been following a pattern of taking people’s money to rent or sell their timeshare and not delivering any services at all. Police seized boxes of evidence and were seen removing dry erase boards, boxes, and large bags. The Orlando Police Economic Crimes division were the ones on the scene removing evidence.
So far no arrests had been reported but that may change today.
Timeshare fraud and scams abound in Orlando Florida. The area has a history of these boiler room operations that have no licensing, credentials, history, or experience in anything except deception and fraud.
Given the current state of the economy, thousands of timeshare owners are likely to be looking for a way to sell their timeshare. Unfortunately, they are being preyed upon by timeshare scam artists like this. If you are wanting to sell your timeshare do not be hesitant to ask for their company address or copy of their credentials. If they are a serious business they will be happy to comply with such a simple request. Or maybe you could review their timeshare broker’s bio.
There are companies who legitimately sell timeshares every day. Too bad companies like Jams Management give them a bad name.
