Thank you! I appreciate it! I too looked up the address and it shows a brick building. No need to ask friend, but I appreciate it!Not likely, fee notwithstanding. There are precious few magicians around with any such mystical powers, even for a fee.
Biddeford, Maine? Seriously? "MTG Consultants" street address (as indicated on their web site, anyhow) is (according to a friend in the area) an old brick (and seemingly largely vacant) building right down the street from the Post Office property.
I wonder if I could talk him into making an office visit posing as a potential "client"? He doesn't really know (or at all care) about timeshares, so it might be a tough sell to ask him to waste his time just to satisfy my own curiosity. We'll see.
Thank you for the advice. I think I am victim to a scam. I still owe on it. It was a Ron Jon in Coco Beach which Holiday Day Inn bought out. I would love to get rid of it. Yes, I have spoken with HI and they will not budge! I will look into this thank you! MaureenEven if the do "release you of your timeshare", the fee is probably a lot greater than what it would cost you to do it yourself. Have you tried asking the resort if it would take your TS back?

If it's with Wyndham or Diamond, they have programs in place where they are taking some timeshares back:

With a little time and effort, you can "release [yourself] of your timeshare" for a lot less money and do it legally.

Thank you for checking!MTG Consultants, LLC has a filing in the state of Wyoming but while active they are showing as delinquent for tax. There is no record of this entity name being authorized to do business in the state of Maine. They don’t sound trustworthy to me.
I am victim to a scam! My concern is they have actually helped people per reviews on the BBB site.I'd like to have my buddy witness (maybe even secretly record) the MTG "pitch" and operation first hand if I can persuade him that it might be worthwhile and fun. I could even provide him with a completely legitimate deed to "present" as the timeshare he allegedly wants to "escape" . His work is seasonal and he has plenty of free time at this time of year; I'll try to entice him with dinner and drinks on me for his participation in an "investigation".
Most of these "upfront fee exit parasites" are just vaporous "cyberspace" operations; I am intrigued by one suddenly surfacing using a very specific street address in a (apparently mostly vacant) commercial building in a little Maine city as an (alleged) operating address.
Then again, this may be just another "cyberspace" operation anyhow. There may actually be no one at all in "Suite 102" at 32 Alfred Street in Biddeford, Maine. It may be nothing more than a "mail drop", or maybe just a bogus address chosen because it's a currently vacant space. The phone number that "MTG Consultants" posts on their web site is not a Maine area code, but a "toll free" number --- they could actually be anywhere.
You mentioned that you may be a "victim of a scam". Have you already succumbed to whatever game "MTG Consultants" is running, or are you referring to your original timeshare purchase? If the former, could you provide some insight into where / how you even heard of MTG in the first place? How / why you you came to believe their claims of "timeshare escape" abilities? Would you care to tell us how much you paid them? When and by what means did they collect payment from you? What has been the communication from them (if any) since you paid them?
A great many people interested in various aspects of timeshares visit this site.
Sharing details of your unfortunate experience could go a long way toward helping others avoid a similar fate.
When you first posted your question, I was hoping that you had not dropped money into their scam. It appears that you had already given them your money. You need to talk to the bank to close that account or change the account number so that they will not take any more money out of your account.I am victim to a scam! My concern is they have actually helped people per reviews on the BBB site.
I paid 2500.00 It was deducted via my checking. I called my bank and they said since I gave them my account to auto deduct I gave my permission.
Should I document my experience in a specific location on TUG?
Thanks,
Maureen

all the suggestions to avoid this, and you still paid them upfront?
Good advice! Thanks!When you first posted your question, I was hoping that you had not dropped money into their scam. It appears that you had already given them your money.

These days we rarely write a check because the account number is on it. It is easy for criminals to have direct access to the bank account when they know the acccount number. We also do not use our debit card other than to withdraw money from our bank's ATM machine.
