Hi there
I don't think you're having a blond moment. I had a timeshare at The Palms for 5 years or so. I gave it up when the place went bust and bought up by another bunch who tried to get extra cash out of me plus the annual fee . I refused having had pretty good use out of the place and buying it fairly cheaply as a resale. Today (Wednesday 8th October) I was contacted by "Anne" from Asset Management recovery allegedly based in Barcelona. Same deal she says I'm due about £5k but have to go to the Notary in Tenerife, with a weeks free accomadation thrown in. She wants £175 up front on a credit card. I told her that no offence but it had the whiff of another scam about it, so I would do some research on the company, which I'm currently looking at, She told me she would email details and check by close of play today that I had got them.
I'll continue looking but I'm pretty sure it's a scam. Probably trying to get us out to flog more timeshare!!! my email is where the mail is hot with mossfoley2004 at the front of it. Apologies for the clumsy link, but the site won't let me send my email address because it's my first posting. But I certainly wouldn't hand over the £175 before you're convinced. If this Anne person does get back in touch, I'm going to ask for the details of the Notary in Tenerife, and if neccessary I'll ring them directly to see if it's genuine.
Thanks for posting your query, it's made me even more suspicious
