HP Consultants, Inc Pretending to be HP Consultants Carlsbad California

There is a scam taking place where an individual who calls himself Alex Mendez or some variation is calling timeshare owners from a Nevada phone number stating that he works for HP Consultants, Inc in Carlsbad, CA in our  Deed/Transfer Department and has a buyer willing to purchase the individual's timeshare. In order to finalize the sale, the timeshare owner must wire $600 to $750 to an individual named Ivan Montes in Atlantic City, NJ. He states that the money is going to the closing company who is processing the sale.

This is a scam......!!!! 

As a partner with the real HP Consultants in Carlsbad, I received a call from one of our clients who received an unsolicited phone call from Alex Mendez. Our client called us to confirm whether this individual acrually works for our company. I collected all the information from our client and called Mr. Mendez pretending to be our client's son seeking clarification of the offer. 

When I revealed to "Alex Mendez" that I worked for the real HP Consultants, Inc and ask what he thought he was doing using our company's name to defraud individuals (our existing clients included) he states, "What do you care? You've already collected your money. What business is it of yours if I get a little more on the side?" He also stated that he chose to use our company's name because we are accredited and have an A rating with the Better Business Bureau. He said that when he fails to actually sell the clients timeshare, they would file a compliant with the BBB and it would be our rating that suffers.

If anyone receives a call from anyone saying they represent HP Consultant, Inc. DO NOT pay them any money over the phone or send any wire transfers. This is a scam.
