Scam Description
Someone from Business Corporate Travel called me with an offer to rent our “extra vacation weeks” with RCI for me to business travelers in the Orlando area. All I had to do was agree to pay $2,394 upfront (399/week for 6 timeshare weeks) and in 60-90 days I could expect to receive cashiers’ checks for $1,600 week ($9,600 total). They knew enough about my Holiday Inn Club/RCI membership to sound legitimate, showed me their website (www.business corporate travel.com), and even had a “3rd party verification” process to help support their legitimacy. The sales man who called gave his name as Chris Powell and provided the same number and address as listed on the fake website. That number is (800) 763-3065. I have attached a copy of the agreement they convinced me to sign and they charged my credit card $2,394…..” this transaction went through as Owners Rental Program.
