Summer Sun International Scam

Transfer America reports on a ninety-two years old man who was conned into purchasing a timeshare. The firm, Summer Sun International, that he worked with stated that he needed to pay a responsibility insurance, which would later be refunded, in order for his sale to go through. Since that time he has paid 3 installments of £3,900 to the company. After the company received the money, he lost all contact with them and still has not received any type of refund. Summer Sun has also sent back the forms he filled out to approve the sale of the property.  Mr. Price, the ninety-two years old man, commented, "I have been attempting to contact the company frequently since mid-May, and I keep getting through to a phone message. I sent through forms to finalise the sale, after paying the charges, to the company's Manchester address, but they were returned in mid-May by Royal Mail."  For now the company is being investigated by the officers at Notts County Council. They have released a statement pronouncing, ""Trading standards officers from the county council are advising area folk to be keeping an eye open for a particularly evil con concerning time shares and holiday clubs. Many of these cons operate from abroad, meaning the conmen are more difficult to find and are not subject to UK buyer protection laws. In this actual case, the individual thought they were coping with a Manchester-based company, but their mail was being forwarded to Barcelona."  Many timeshare stings have risen in the last few years planning to convince timeshare owners into buying their service. The scheme is mostly the same. Members from firms will cold-call timeshare owners and tell them that they've a consumer waiting to get their timeshare. Nevertheless once the owners pay the company, the company will vanish with the money. The BBB as well as many states have released statements that warn timeshare owners of these stings. They offer guidance concerning how to spot a scam to prevent one from becoming a victim.
