Unsolicited incoming call. Caller used the name Mike Burns. Said he had a buyer for my timeshare on Maui. Indicated time was of the essence as the buyer would be unavailable after 48 hours. E-mailed a purported sales contract which was a phishing expedition and an attempt to obtain my banking information -- and an approximate $3600.00 (USD) payment to be placed with an escrow company named International Title.
My online investigation revealed "Mike's" website was set up on 13 Sep 2010, his phone number to be untraceable, and his business address to be merely a P.O. box located in Seattle, Washington, not a storefront. Addtionally, the Washington state Secretary of State's office, Department of Corporations, has no registration record for a business named "International Vacation Management."
