Martyn Ravenhill, the 100% owner of Lloydshare, fakes his British connections, posts false information and thinks he can outsmart annuity buyers out of their annuities.
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news here but there never was an annuity. You were all conned by a conman who stole your money.
Hi Tugs
Most people sit around and wonder things like that. Lloydshare guarantees the return of the cost of a timeshare. The idea of buying an annuity to do this is what cinches the timeshare purchase. Guaranteed!!!!!!!
The conman, fraudster, thief, whatever, lives in Las Vegas and continues to sell Lloydshare annuities at over 40 resorts. Going on since 2002, a few friends got paid an annuity attached to a resort in Puerto Vallharta, the second home of Liberace's home buyer M Ravenhill.
There never was an annuity. At best, the scammer paid old people out of new money, the same as any Ponzi scheme.

Is it possible that the whole prospectus is fake? I am also not sure what you are saying about suppressing negative reviews on TUG? I don't see where anything like this is happening.
Yeah, that makes absolutely no sense.
I’d say it’s not only possible, but about 99.9 percent probable.
It's ongoing. Lloydshare claims to be selling the annuity at 40 Mexican resorts. The BBB does not rate them because of the fake international address. Very difficult to warn others.
Chronological order. My Lloydshare review from a few days ago is suppressed and a review from 2023 by Mr Murphy is the first one to appear. But, thanks for the forum, however it is paid.
And it appears as though thousands of government employees are somehow in on scamming.
How do you figure that?
They don't investigate or respond to disputes. Not a peep out of any of them, like we have your complaint, which leads me to believe the office is sending everything to the junk file. The complaint is numbered and filed away. That makes a government job so much easier.
That is a function of how a threaded forum works. It isn’t a conspiracy.
Mexican Authorities or American Authorities? If the former, sure, they’re probably in on it. If the latter, no. Listen, it stinks that you were ripped off. You’ve reported it, but you probably just need to get past it. There are so many of these scams and the authorities only have resources to go after so many and they’re going to target the big fish. This guy will likely get got eventually, but I”m sorry, this was always a scam. You need to accept that there never was an “annuity.” You were hustled out of your money, plain and simple.
It's not as though I was using Tugs to try to recoup my loss. Rather, it was an attempt to warn others.
I have, nil response from the government workers. They probably like their at home work location too much to bother.
Lloydshare is not a forum discussion topic. New laws will shine light on the fraudulent business, hopefully with prison sentences for fraud. A class action suit would be welcome.
" I did not buy the annuity from the timeshare salesperson". Why is Sean Murphy still here? Catchy name.
Hi,
Were you offered this annuity in conjunction with buying the Vidanta membership? Or was Lloydshare offering you, a Vidanta member, separately this annuity? So IOW, did a salesperson for Lloydshare contact you saying something along the lines of, "As a Vidanta member, you qualify to purchase a Lloydshare annuity." Or, was this part of the package that you bought a couple years ago that the TS sales person said would be a benefit of being a Vidanta member?
Sure seems like it.
