The Owners Advocate scam continues

[Frank Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Frank]

I recently learned that my father was scammed out of $999 by theownersadvocate.com ("TOA"). This disreputable site was discussed here and here in 2008, when shill accounts came out of the woodwork to endorse these scammers.

Basically, TOA claimed that they could get customers out of any timeshare contract, even very old ones, with a 100% "guaranteed" success rate. It appears that they just took the money, sent some form letters, and were unavailable to their purported clients until they disappeared.

I can tell from the 2008 threads that the regulars on this forum are quire savvy, Thank you.

As I've documented on a blog I just started, it appears that this same scam is still running (whether by a new owner or not). stellaradvocate.com "Stellar Advocate" and timesharetaskforce.com "Timeshare Task Force" have exactly the same testimonials as the Oweners Advocate did.

I can tell from the 2008 threads that the regulars on this forum are quire savvy, but I would like to ensure that any casual browsers are aware that stellaradvocate.com and timesharetaskforce.com are complete scams.

Thank you.

Closed one small guy - go after the big Kahuna! Oust the King!

To my knowledge timeshare task force has been closed by the AG

Better late than never & the more the merrier! Now they need to shutdown the worst of the worst that operates at a much higher level (retail sales as well as development, corrupt management and more) Wastegate! The day someone shuts the doors on that group there should be celebrations in the streets at many timeshare locations. Rumor is they are on the ropes so lets keep a good thought toward a good outcome after the operation has gone on fleecing the uninformed for far too long.

Unfortunately the scammer M.O. is to change the name and continue the scam in another name and boiler room. They also actively employ shill testimonials to make the new name seem legitimate.
