We were contacted in April of 2010 to sell our timeshare. It is a very elaborate scam. They offered us an amount of money which was difficult to refuse. The first phone call was from a woman and the next day we received a call from a man who said he was Ben Hernandez. He was very polite and knew how to talk his way around the subject. Even when we questioned it he had all of the answers. We took the agreement that he sent to our lawyer and he said it looked all legal. After sending the first bank draft they called a couple weeks later and said they had never received it. I went to the bank and it had not been cashed so I put a stop payment on it and had a new one issued. This one they received and a couple of days later we received an update on the status of our sale. I started checking and both emails that I sent were returned. The phone numbers and fax numbers don't work either. I have all of the documentation that they sent.

Hi ...Sierra approached me in January to sell my Sandos Timeshare...it took a little while but I was paid out of escrow this last Mon. I had a one bedroom...they gave me 16, 000 which I thought was a pretty good price. I have a friend from Calif...he sold his Velas to Sierra and has been paid. Not sure about the other stuff here, but my experience was okay...took a little longer than they said..Diane
