Welcome to the Monday post, once again over the weekend Inside Timeshare has received many more emails enquiring about companies offering timeshare services. Most of these have been regarding claims, or compensation that is waiting for them at court.
As usual the same old names crop up, but there have been a couple of new ones, Regal Finance Company being one of them. As we had not heard of these before, a quick check on the internet and lo and behold Mindtimeshare has placed a post about them (10 Oct).
It is the same old story, owners are called by this company, from the Security and Fraud Prevention Department, they are told that a case has been through the courts against companies that have “ripped” him off in the past. Guess what? The money has been awarded to him and is waiting at the court.
Unfortunately there are fees to be paid around 10% of the awarded amount before this money can be released.
There is a company registered at Company House called Regal Finance Company Limited, according to the records this company has been registered since 1955. The address given on company records is:
Fourth Floor, Park Gate, 161-163 Preston Road, Brighton, East Sussex, England, BN1 6AF
It is highly likely that this registered company is unaware that a fake company is using their name, so when you do a search of company house, you will believe that you are talking to a legitimate firm.
Also the searches of the named directors and secretaries, have not shown any link to any previous timeshare related company.
The telephone number given by the caller is:
This number has already had several mentions on the various who is calling websites, all saying the same thing, “This number is ringing asking to send money for release of payment for timeshare refunds”.
The email address is:
Which is a common scam email address, which has been commonly used in the past Nigerian scams, just like gmail and yahoo it is a free service. So one point to consider is if the company does not have a website with an email linked to the domain name, or is using consultant.com or any other email, then you should be very cautious.
Here We Go Again!!!!!!!!
Another one of our regular readers have informed us that it looks like the family of “fake” lawyers Litigious Abogados have another new name Abogados AG and website:
This website was registered on 28 August 2017, so is only just 2 months old. Again registration details are through GoDaddy and hidden by a privacy registration. It is also exactly the same as all those that have come before, stating the firm was established in 1990, that they have had over 15 years presence on the internet.
The head of this “Fake” law firm is one Armando González Areca, along with a few new “lawyers” names:
The Boss
Along with the same photographs of them from the previous website Amador Galeca Abogados.
The address they show on the website is:
4 Calle de S. Francisco, Santa Cruz De Tenerife, Canary Islands
When this address is checked, it does exist, with two plaques on the doorway for Abogados, but the names do not look like the one here. So once again, do the genuine Abogados at this address know that it is being used by a “fake” law firm.
The telephone number given are a UK Freephone number:
A Spanish Number they say is Madrid:
But when we checked the prefix 910, it did not show as Madrid, but did show up as one which will cost you a small fortune to call.
So now all we wait for is news on what name the “Procurador” is going to take and which bank account they will be using.
Once again these two posts clearly show how careful you need to be, do not take what you are told at face value, check and double check, if you are unsure as to their validity, don’t do anything. Especially send them any money.
If you need help in checking any company that has contacted you or you may be thinking of doing business with, contact Inside Timeshare and we will point you in the right direction, after all that’s what we do day in day out.
