Description

I was contacted in the mail by an organization representing themselves as timeshare exit company that would provide me with at $100 cash and flight vouchers if I attended their seminar held at the Voco Hotel in Laguna Hills, CA (25205 La Paz Rd, Laguna Hills, CA 92653). When I went to the meeting I was met with high pressure sales tactics and guarantees that I would be able to get out of my timeshares after paying an upfront fee. Many others at the meeting were in similar situations to myself, or more desperate for answers. The representatives of Tradeline International pressured me into paying $33,000 split across three credit cards. When I tried to cancel moving forward with them due to overwhelming evidence online that this company was fraudulent I was met with resistance and given a run around trying to keep me locked in to paying $33,000. This company is well known in the timeshare community for taking money from desperate owners seeking relief from management fees. Tradeline International LLC has only provided text confirmation of cancelling my $33,000 payment and no definitive proof that they have in fact reversed payment or discarded the personal information I provided in a safe and satisfactory manner. Tradeline International LLC claims to be associated with Oracle Management, however when contacted, Oracle Management denies ties to Tradeline International LLC. I was provided with paperwork that includes the following information about Tradeline LLC: Mailing Address - 1325 W Sunshine PMB #527, Springfield, MO 65807 Customer Service - 800-282-7127 Release Department - 888-392-0370 Tradeline International Travel Club - 702-703-2511 Emails: [email protected] or [email protected] The representative that preyed on me gave his name as Tristan Clarke, cell phone number 1-870-754-0441. However, I believe this cell phone number to be somehow false as reverse lookup shows it to belong to a family counseling center in Arkansas.
