Global Equity Network, USA Craig Rudolph Craig Rudolph contacted us and told us he had a buyer for our timeshare week. He said we needed to advance him $3,498.00 for the "title search" which would be returned to us with the sale money. Las Vegas, Nevada

We were contacted on Jan. 03, 08  by a representative of Global Equity and asked if we wanted to sell our timeshare week. We did and were asked for $800 for advertising which was put on our credit card. We were told that our timeshare week would be advertised on the internet (which we never saw) and also in other media which we asked for copies of and never received. On Nov. 11, 08 Craig Rudolph contacted us and told us that the timeshare week had been sold and we need to advance them a bank draft in the amount of $3,498 which we did. He assured us that the deal would be closed by Feb. 1, 2008. Of course it wasn't. Every time we contacted them it was put off another month or 90 days or whatever. Eventually in the summer of '09 Harvey Brooks became our "contact". Same response. The lawyers were still working on "the deal".  The last time my husband contacted him about a week ago he told him the deal had fallen through. When my husband asked him to refund our money he said the money  had all been spent.  We feel so foolish  to fall for this con game. We have really considered contacting the media to see if someone nationally would investigate this and actually the whole timeshare system which we and many others we have talked to consider a scam in itself.  Well, I guess you just can't trust anyone any more. Now if someone calls us about anything we just hang up.
