ITVN International timeshare vacation network Richard Banks, Jenna, Eddie, Juan and Seva Called me "with a buyer" and took my $1450 then lied to me for the next 5 months. Orlando, Florida

Received an unsolicited phone call in late March 2010 saying that ITVN had a buyer for my Silverleaf Resort timeshare, which I and my late mother purchased for younger family members to use.

They said the sale price was $24,200 and that a non-refundable deposit had been put up by the buyer of 5%.  They needed that money as a "timeshare registration filing fee" to cover assisting "our clients" to rent or sell their property without a commission. 

My mother had passed away a few months before I got this unsolicited call and I was very vulnerable.  I should have never paid any money up front, but in my desire to sell this property which the younger relatives have never used, I did so and got "snookered".  

Repeated calls were met with reassurances that they were a legitimate company and that I would be hearing from the title company anytime to get more information from me.  I called back almost every two weeks and got the same excuses and run-around. 

Now I am reporting this scam company to the BBB in Orlando and in Atlanta and to the Florida Attorney General's Office.  I have also contacted ABC, NBC and CNN.  We must stop these people who prey on people and have no conscience whatsoever.
