Fraud by SB

[pedro]

just go and look at this ad -they show a building that is not on their property but you can buy it and lose,imo,all your money

www.sellmytimesharenow.com/timeshares/index/content/details/AdNumber/933319/

I wonder how the supporters and owners will answer this

[deadserious]

I wonder if that ad was put up by SB or by one of the suckers who invested in the property trying to recover some of their investment.

[pedro]

call the phone nos. which are on the ad

Looks like an owner is selling week 31 in unit 313.  It says it is a deeded share. Does that mean the structure is existing?  And what is that building in the photograph?

[pedro]

does anyone besides me consider this fraud?

[peterbj7]

Well, the photograph clearly isn't of SB (where is it, anybody?).  And the unit in question doesn't yet exist.  So at the very minimum it's highly misleading advertising.  I think technically this advertisement still constitutes an advertisement, not a legal offer, so the word "fraud" is inappropriate.  Technically.  But in common speech, yes, it clearly has fraudulent intent - it is trying to persuade people to do something that they would not in their right minds even consider if they were presented with accurate and complete information.

I didn't try the numbers.  Is this advert being placed by SB or by some "independent" agent?

[klcman]

No phone numbers there now, or am I blind?

Love the little duckies swimming in the pool!

We lived there for 4 years and never saw a duck would have been good for a curry.

If we can't legally use the word "fraud" how about the word "ST. MAARTEN?" (Chortle)

[deadserious]

If we can't legally use the word "fraud" how about the word "DISGUSTING?"

I'd be careful using such a big word.

[Moose in Belize]
