I too have received a phone call from AMR Barcelona, saying exactly the same thing, but my timeshare is in Tenerife and run by Club La Costa.

The reason I have bounced into this forum is that I was looking for information on what to me looks like a scam.

Reading the posts I am now even more sure that it is a scam, lets face it it has all the hallmarks of a scam.

Sketchy contact details, with a "hotmail" style email address,

No traceable company,

No website,

Got to pay out money up front to get the money you are supposedly entitled to,

Offer looks too good to be true (I am supposed to have paid £139 a year for the last 12 years and can expect a return of between £5K and £12K on an investment of £1668 spread over 12 years, that really is too good to be true!)

I will watch with interest to see what Char52 says on return, but I suspect that it will either be, oh sorry no you aren't actually entitled to anything but while you are here we have this marvellous timeshare offer on, or your entitlement can be placed against the cost of this timeshare the price of which has been inflated by the amount of your entitlement.

Sorry to sound cynical Char52, but when times are hard the scammers get even more imaginative in their ways to part you from your cash.
