Timeshare fam fraud

this seems to be a very clear case of real estate fraud, and it probably wouldnt hurt to involve law enforcement given the amount of money involved in that many annual maintenance fees. Multiple felonies come to mind as well!

my first call would be to whatever organization handles real estate transactions/investigations in your state...as well as the attorney generals office.

the last thing id do would be to make any effort to sell them yourself if you truly had no knowledge you were taking ownership of them in the first place and it all happened while you were incarcerated.
 
I would call the resort and tell them what happened and that they are not getting money. Give them your brother's telephone number and address.
Then go to the police station and file papers for stolen identity. They will ask you if you know who did it, and you will have to tell them. They will open an investigation.
Go to http://www.annualcreditreport.com/ and get your credit reports and file disputes for anything on there that is not yours.
Do you care if your brother gets in trouble or goes to jail?

Who's identity was stolen?
 
This might be the most bizzare story I have ever read on TUG.
 
Agree! There's something that smells very bad.....


.
What doesn't make sense about a guy out of jail that learns that 28 timeshares have been fraudulently put in his name so he reaches out to a timeshare bbs to figure it all out?
 
Agree! There's something that smells very bad.....

Indeed. This may very well be just a fabricated tall tale, concocted by someone testing the waters for a "Viking Ship" scheme.
Taking that very real possibility into account, I tried to make clear in my feedback that a fraudulent deed can always be voided.

If the OP post is not just an outright hoax (a very distinct possibility, IMnsHO) and if the OP is actually a wannabe "Viking Ship" captain, I have tried to indirectly recommend staying tied up to the dock instead. ;)

I took from the OP that his brother used the OPs identity to put the timeshares under.
I wonder where the timeshares came from?
 
What should I do my brother put 28 timeshares under my name should I sell them or take him to court
Court, you can’t sell time shares. Also stop the transactions immediately
