The Better Business Bureau of Greater Cleveland is warning consumers about a new timeshare exit scam that cost one couple $40,000 of their life savings after a company claiming to be in Cleveland said it had a buyer lined up to purchase their timeshare.

The scam was reported to BBB Cleveland by a California couple who was solicited by a broker claiming to represent High Planes Equity, a Denver-based company. The broker offered to sell their timeshare located in Mexico and claimed to already have a buyer lined up.

The agent insisted on transferring the transaction to an escrow firm called St. Mary’s Financial Escrow Service, which claimed to be located at 1375 Euclid Avenue, Suites 501-04.

BBB Cleveland confirmed there is no building at the address and the mail sent to the address was returned as undeliverable.

never pay upfront fees to sell/rent/exit your Timeshare!

Wow. How many times was the word "claim" and its derivatives used in this little snippet?

Unbelievable that people hand over their money to sell something to a buyer. Hello, I want to buy your timeshare...please send me money...lots of money.
