Recieved a call from this number a Mr Peter Hamilton, wanted to buy my time share for more than I have it listed with with Condo Traders. The contract was written by CRT, Coastal Resort transfers. According to Contract they Wanted $2495.oo for registry certification (lawyer in Branson that deals with deed of this typ ehas no idea what that is) and wanted this money up front. I talked to Mr Hamilton and told him I have it listed thru condo traders however he did not want to do business with a FL based company. OK Told him I would be going to resort and would get with the manager there and ge tthe name of a good local lawyer and contact him. I did. Called Mr Hamilton back and got no response and left him a voice mail. I then called back 2 or 3 days later and basically told him I was going to report this number for what I feel it is, A Scam. He called back within 15 minutes and threatened to sue me if I did. He also stated that he was out of town for 2 weeks (no idea if he was or not) and that he had found another property in FL??? cheaper that hes was now going to buy. I asked why he had not called me back and let me know that before i called. He stated he can buy what ever he wants... which is true... Common courtesy with a negotiation would be to let other party know if a change occurs. I called fromn the resort as per the agreement before I went to the resort that I am selling to let him know that I had found a lawyer and it was the one that the general manager recommended. He couold contact the gm from the resort website so he would know that no funny stuff was going on.. Oh well the lawyer here in Branson would handle all title and deed paperwork and file in the required county (Taney) for $277.00 over $2,000.00 less than CRT and contract with mr Peter Hamilton wanted up front before any Earnest money (buyers deposit of $7,000.00 was listed on contract) which they could not prove to me existed.) was actually deposited in a real account. My Feeling is this is another one of those Scams in the time share market and should be treated as such. Hopefully the AZ Attorney General will investigate . Oh note... CRT has no real address on their letterhead... that tell you anything?
