Welcome to another week in the world of timeshare, In tomorrow’s Tuesday Slot we welcome the Sharp Family with their first contribution. In Festiva Fury, they explain the pitfalls of having no secondary market for timeshare and the fact it is worthless from the moment you sign. So join us for another “Nightmare on Timeshare Street” tomorrow.
Now we have some news of the latest “FAKE” law firms to emerge, we begin with one that was highlighted on Mindtimeshare last week, with a little extra that Inside Timeshare found and shared with them.
The name of this “Law Firm” is B Olmo Y Asociados and are based according to their website at:
Calle Gonzalo de Cordoba 11 28010 Madrid
The website was only registered on 1 November 2018, so is a very new one indeed. Once again the registrant is hidden by a privacy company, so there is no idea who is actually behind it.
They do show an email address on the website info@bolmoasociados.com but no telephone or fax numbers, which for a “law firm” is very strange.
Another fact is they do show a registration number B Olmo Asociados Colegiado numero: 56040 (see PDF below) when checking this number against the database for registered lawyers in Madrid we do come up with a lawyer with that registration number, Beatriz Olmo Sere, who registered in 1995, but the entry does not show any address or telephone number, although it is a current registration.
Censo de Letrados _ Abogacía Española
As we have seen in the past, these fake law firms do use registration numbers of genuine lawyers and also use parts of their names, this is obviously to give them credibility if any searches are made. Somehow we don’t think that Beatriz Olmo Sere is actually aware her registration number is being used.
According to the caller named Henk de Koning (Henk the King!), the timeshare owner is due thousands awarded by the court, but to release this 9.2% of the awarded amount has to be paid first to cover administration costs. Again this has to be paid by bank transfer.
Another name that has also just come to light is associated with Abogados Legalidades, part of the Litigious Abogados family.

Rodrigo Hoya Asesoria, with the address Calle Drago 8, Edificio Belinda, Oficina 603 D, Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Spain, which does not show on any search through Google maps, they also show the email address rodrigo_hoya@post.com which once again is a free email service.
It would seem that they are contacting those who have previously paid the fake law firms and are needing further “administration” payments. This needs to be paid by bank transfer probably into an account of a named individual.
As usual, all we can do is warn you that these are all fake law firms and lawyers, do not be taken in by their false claims, that you have been awarded large amounts by the courts or that your timeshare company is about to be taken to court.
Do not pay them anything, it is a “fraud” and you will never see that money again, if you are in doubt about any company, law firm or lawyer that contacts you then use our contact page and Inside Timeshare and we will help you to do your checks.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE.
