fraud
In December 2010 we were contacted by Jeff Searcy of CEC in Houston, Texas asking if we were interested in renting or selling our timeshare in Cancun Mexico. Since we were not using it we said we would. They said they had corporations needing weeks to send clients to for seminars. He said they had a buyer who was interested and they offered us $38, 500.00. We bought it and then this scam began. I asked if there were any up front fees and they said yes but they would be refunded at the end of the sale. First it was for a title search 999.00. Then for five years of maintenance fees since it was not in the family 2000.00. Since we had an extra week they asked for those maintence fees as well 2000.00. Then they said the Mexican government wanted their tax which was 51% which was another 3500.00. I told them we were running out of money so Jeff said he would check with his boss and see what they could do. Well they said they would pay half of that tax but we still owed 1700.00. After all this was wired, which went to Capital Closing Services in Kansas City, Missouri. Beverly Albright and Eric Weir were the two persons we dealt with there. On Feb. 9th we were told our funds would be wired to our bank. When monday came still no funds. We tried to call Jeff Searcy and Beverly Albright but no one answered our calls. It went to their voice mail. We left messages but that was the last time we heard from them. We were scamed big time. My husband fought in a war and to think he fought for these kind of people is sickening. I hope they can be stopped before they take anymore hard working honest peoples money again. Beware, IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT IS!!!
