New Timeshare Legislation for your Protection

As many of you may know the MEPs and those involved in law making in Brussels have been meeting for some time to discuss the problem of cross border fraud, particularly in relation to Timeshare and Holiday Club Schemes.

The body of people involved had drafted new proposals that will be transposed into law in 2010, just three years away. NOW THIS IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT ESPECIALLY FOR NEW OWNERS TAKING ON SCHEMES THAT INVOLVE CASH BACK ESPECIALLY THROUGH A COMPANY CALLED CASHBACK EUROPE PLC, PO Box 1469, Gibraltar. No physical address and the Gibraltar telephone numbers on the Cashback Europe Website, are unlisted. You will understand why it is significant by reading on. 

Since we exposed Cashback Europe plc above, they have now published on their website their real physical address, which is, of course, 3 Library Ramp, Gibraltar, the Home of ETOO etc.

Recently the owners of a company called European Timeshare Owners Organisation (ETOO) and Club Class Holidays (CCH) and Premier Travel and a few others, launched a new set of companies, supposedly from Portugal but with their main offices actually in Gibraltar and at the same offices as the rest of the group.  Those companies are called, Club Class Concierge plc and Premiere Class ltd.

The Cashback Europe company offers you your money back in just 36 months. Is that within the bounds of probability especially when you realise that only a percentage of what you paid is actually invested (with Lloyds TSB I have been told) and it is not possible for a small percentage of an investment value to grow to the full value of your investment in just three years?

The Stakeholders for any monies paid for any finance agreement being offered by Premier Class Ltd are none other than the Club Class Group's own auditors in London, Sochalls Chartered Accountants of 9 Wimpole Street, London.

What is interesting is that ETOO, in their latest newsletter to members, many of whom have sent me a copy with some unprintable cynical comments, actually quote this new legislation coming into force in 2010.

Club Class and Etoo, actually the owners, Dennis Gilson, Peter and Victor Utal and Andrew Cooper, are on a mission to defraud as many timeshare owners as possible, because they know that in 2010 when the legislation comes into force, they will no longer be able to carry on the fraud that they have and they will vanish with as much money as they can to climes far away.

Do not be fooled by them, their promises are empty and anyone who falls for their lies, will end up with nothing.  The current pdf of the proposals for the new legislation can be viewed by clicking this link, and I will highlight certain valuable points from the legislation on this page over time so please visit it often if you are a timeshare owner doing business with ETOO or any other timeshare resale company.

In the meanwhile if you are a victim of this, or any other timeshare resale company scam, contact me tony@scambusters.gb.com
