I received a call from Sean Myers, who told me he was on vacation in Florida and had seen my timeshare listed at a show. He asked if it was still for sale, would I take less money, amount of the yearly fees, etc. - common questions. Then he said his financer would be calling me. I received a call from Erin Jones who said she was with Worldwide Finance and they were financing the sale for Mr. Myers. She went through the usual shuck and jive, then said I would need to put $750 in a "secure account" through Western Union. She instructed me to go to the local Kroger or Food Lion and fill out a send-money form to put money in the secure account. She assured me they would not take the money unless our property failed the title search. If it passed, she would call me and I could take my receipt back to Kroger or Food Lion and my deposit would be refunded.

I could not find a business at the address she gave me. I called the Florida Department of financial services and was told me this company is not licensed in Florida. I figure they may be licensed somewhere else so the Florida Attorney General can't go after them. Further, I called Western Union and was told they do not put money into a secure account and then refund it - that it was a scam. These crooks are attempting to circumvent credit card cancellations by asking for cash up front in a unique way. BEWARE.
