EXPEDITIONS GROUP, INC.

[PerryKing]

Does anyone know anything about a company named: EXPEDITIONS GROUP, INC. of Atlanta Georgia. ( And best I can tell the company actually exist and is located where they say they are) and who is making offers to arrange the sale of (my) timeshare interest to a buyer, especially Mayan Palace Time share interest, and at a price to be good to be true, and at no cost to the seller except for a 5% commission at time of the closing through a Title Company in Savannah Georgia ( That also seems to actually exist ) ?????

If any one has had actual dealings with the company, I would appreciate your feedback about your experience with them.

Thank you

I'm sorry, but this is a scam - this is what is going to happen:

Some time during the process they are going to come up with a fee you have to pay. They will tell you it will go into escrow and you will get it back at closing.

But there is no sale.

There is no buyer.

It's a scam.

They are going to have you wire the money out of the country, and they will steal it, and you will have no recourse.

They will give you the name of a real escrow company, but the escrow directions will have you send the money to their bank outside the US.

literally every red flag for a scammer exists in that description of them =)

Thank You for you remarks. . Actually I just realized I answered my own question on a post I made about them about 2 years ago right here on the TUG forum, but with a slightly different company name being used by them. I did a search after I posted today and my old post popped up. I forgot all about it. But in that case a few yeas ago I never followed through with them so I don't know for sure what would have happened.

As for their current offer I told the sales agent that If they eventually want any money from me at any time, even a dime, that NO WAY way would I ever send them any money, but it did not seem to deter them in continuing to assuring me I would not have to. So then I worried that maybe they have a way of getting ownership to my Mayan Palace TS contract by me signing papers for what I thing is a legitimate sale but that I then never actually get paid for. !!.


and again in another incident with a completely different group that I finally realized were real scammers, using spoofed phone numbers, etc. and wanting me to wire $3000 to some lady in Mexico City and that I almost fell for but escaped at the last minute. I wrote that one up in detail. Just search for my post for that one using my user name: PerryKing on this forum and you will find it.

So the question remains: How, if this outfit tried me about two years ago, and they are still at it and they actually do rip off people how can they keep it up for so long and get away with it? Hope some one that has actually lost some money to them will respond and let us all know !! For sure !

because they simply change company names whenever they start to build up a poor reputation. or noone ever reports the scammers to the authorities (ags offices etc)
