Got two calls on my home phone and two on my cell phone in the last few days from a scam artist claiming I owed $4,995 to advertise the resale of my timeshare in a magazine named The Timeshare Trader. I never heard of this magazine and have not made any such agreement and had know idea what this guy was talking about. I hung up and called the Florida Attorney General at 850-414-3300 and asked to speak to someone dealing with timeshare fraud. The lady I spoke to was very receptive and said she would follow up on my complaint. These calls are coming from the Perrine, Florida area. Unforfunately, Florida is a real cesspool of timeshare resale scammers and needs to get aggressive about shutting these scumbags down. My advice is to not answer the call when you see this number on your caller ID and report any such calls to the Florida AG.
