Claimant says:
"2/09 or 2/10/2014 - They called inquiring about selling our Time Share. They had a buyer for $18,600.00. We needed to send $1,400 to start the process. After we sent the money they said we had to pay the taxes $2604 before they could send the $18.600 by wire transfer to our bank account. On 2/19 we sent the money paks for $2604 for the taxes. They were going to wire transfer the money again. However, on the 2/25 we received a call from Maria Garcia that we needed to pay them the luxery tax of $1860 before they could transfer the funds. We sent the money paks Then on 2/27 Steven Winter informed us that (2) of the money pks were not activated correctly for 1000 dollars and asked for another 1000 dollars, promising that they would send the $1000 as soon as the cards that were activated incorrectly were able to be processed. So we got the another (2) cards for 1000 dollars and he promised the money would be put in our account 24 to 48 hours. On 3/4 Maris Garcia called us and told us we owed for their services, another $1,500 in order for them to process the sale and give us our money. 03/04 Steven Winter called to inform us that the deal fell through, but they had a buyer for $24.600. On 03/06 Steven Winter told us a check for $24,600 would be in the mail on Friday 03/07 and we should receive it along with all the paperwork. On Monday 3/10 Maria Garcia call and wanted another $1500 for their services before they could release the check. We told her we were not sending any more money, that they could go back to the buyer and sell it for $18,600 and they had all the money already to complete the sale. Today 3/11 they said that was not possible and threatened us both (if we concelled we would lose the $8364 we had paid them). They told me (Roberta,wife) that I had no choice. My husband also was threatened with simular remarks.
!. We were not informed up fromt the total costs involved.
2. Everytime they told us we were getting our money they asked for more money.
3. They told us we should have asked what the costs were and we did. They kept saying there were not going to be any other costs.
4. Threating folks is not any way to run a business!
All of the above!
We contacted the GA Dept. of Revenue (sales tax division) and were instructed to contact the FBI. We contacted the FBI and they told us it looked like a skam and because they (Skylight) contacted us on the phone to contact the Fed. Trade Comm. and BBB. We talked to Pam at the BBB and she gave is a confirmation number (B2076944). Any assistance you can give us to resolve this issue will be much appreciated.
