Towards the end of January, the Spanish police raided the offices of Global Vacations Limited, a marketing company selling Club Class Concierge holiday club membership, arresting sixteen people on suspicion of fraud.
Victims of this alleged fraud will have been approached by resale company ETOO telling them that a buyer had been found for their points or week. They would have been told that the transaction would have to be concluded in person in Malaga . Once there the owners were met by Global Vacations Limited representatives who try to sell them Club Class Concierge membership. This may well have been alongside a cash-back offer through CashBack Europe Plc.
To assist the authorities in Spain with their investigations, evidence is now required from timeshare owners and we encourage our owners, who either may have been approached or been victims of this alleged fraud, to come forward. A case can only be built up if sufficient evidence is provided!
Complaints and evidence should be sent to the complainant’s local European Consumer Centre, details of which can be found on the ECC website http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/redres...rk_centers.pdf
Photocopies of all documents, a brief statement providing details about their case and photocopies of proof of payments made should be provided.
UK based consumers should send their complaints to:
