Thomas Geantil Real Estate looking to buy premier memberships

Has anyone else on here been approached by phone from this real estate company to buy there premier membership. Not sure how they got our number and knew everything about our membership. They made us an offer to buy it but not sure if it is real or not. Has anyone else out there been approached or sold to them.

 

Be extremely cautious with that! Typically, they’re scams! They’ll usually want money up front.

 

I have heard from them too along with some other friends. Something does not seem right with it. For a real estate company their website does not have any listings.

 

My daughter has been solicited by them for purchase of her timeshare membership in Puerto Vallarta. She received an unsolicited call first, then a letter, then more phone calls from 2 different individuals. I would be interested in knowing about how and who contacted you, as they have not been forthcoming with us.

 

They keep at it through the law of large numbers, somebody always falls for it! I am still waiting for the Nigerian Prince to give me my half of his Lottery winnings from 2006!! That aside, there seems to be a prospering database market and employees leaving (or not) a timeshare type company “sell” the contact list for decent money. Happened to us with Vidanta (and we weren’t even owners). Made some calls and found out there are little safeguards with our data in Mexican companies. Never would have guessed that

 

I have heard from them too. I decided to play along to see how far it would go. It is amazing how legit everything seemed. However, there were some red flags. We have a silver membership at Desire RM. Offered us $37,000 US. Said that nobody gets paid until we get paid. They even sent us a statement from citibanamex (a legit bank in Mexico - owned by Citibank) showing the money in escro in our names. The biggest red flag was that we had to obtain an RFC number from the Mexican Consulate. We had three options - go to the closest mexican consulate (Toronto for us - about 2 hours away), use their charter title insurance company, or go to Mexico. The cost for this is $4,000 US which is reimbursed by the buyer. This is where we stopped. A mexican RFC number is the equivalent of a Social Insurance Number in Canada or a Social Security Number in the U.S. It is needed for tax purposes. This part seems legit. However, the cost of $4,000 U.S. to obtain one did not seem legit.

I was taken back by their website as well - a terrible website for a real estate company. However, I am pretty impressed with how porfessional everything was handled. They do a VERY good job at making it all seem legit. But, I did not need an RFC number to buy the timeshare, why would I need one to sell it? Cost of $4,000 US to get one? (they say it is to hire a representative to apply on my behalf).

I also wondered how they got my name AND contact info... I may call Premier and find out if they give that info away. Maybe they were hacked... If I hear anything more, I will post about it.

to Kody, me, Daren










Hello Kodi,



I introduced your proposal to the buyer’s representative. The buyer announced that it will be necessary to Mr. and Mrs. Mason to pay for the escrow fee of $3,600 USD in full and you can instantly have the funds deposited into your escrow account. The normal process is a bargain because the buyer already paid for an escrow fee so the account is free for our clients. Whichever of these two options is more easy.





Best regards,





A REAL ESTATE COMPANY

This is what they want up front

 

They've been trying to contact us as well. We got offered $26,871.00 USD. Did anyone ever follow up with Premier to see how they got our contact information?

 

Hey, by the way, I have a brother who is an African prince who has discovered gold. If you wire him $1,000 USD, he'll send you gold worth $10,000 USD.

Tee hee hee. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
