310-975-3921

A nice lady called me, a telemarketer (probably mexican) wanting to know if I wanted my timeshare to be rented. She explained the program and I was very interested! The only catch is that I sold my timeshare years ago... wish I hadn't. There seems to be a lot of money to be made in this type of program. Oh well.

did you ask where they got your name and number?

yes. they said that they have a database of timeshare owners ... names came from RCI or II.

I do know a couple of brokers from RCI that sell names and numbers.nothing is sacred nowadays.It's all about money.

someone called me from this number offering to rent my timeshare. i have no timeshare i wish they stop calling me

I received a call from this number 2 weeks ago and I rented out my 2 weeks to the Medical group and as we agreed they will send me the timeshare agreement in 2 to 3 weeks. Last week I called the 310-975-3921 to check my timeshare agreement and they said its on the process I ask Jason Marcello if he can do something about it to send me the papers as soon as possible then after 2 days I received the timeshare agreement and a check amounting to $1,500.00 for my maintenance fee as stated to the note attached to the check. I though I was dooped by this company so far they are doing good and I'm waiting for the rest of the check.

I'm a happy camper. GTS called me several months ago, signed up and got paid in full. Though there was a slight delay on the check (2 weeks delay) but everything was settled.

No complaints except for one. I hope they replace that guy from the billing department "Ronaldo Sanchez", he's quite rude and hard to understand.

Wow, that is so super convincing, and what a great vocabulary! I hope you were paid handsomely by your scammer overlords for shilling so effectively!

A timeshare scam company that calls themselves 'Global Travel Services' operates out of Ortigas Center, Metro Manila - Philippines.  The real name of the registered company with the Philippine SEC is called "Uni Asia."  It is owned in part by 3 ladies, one of which is Kay Ann Santos, another is Janice Alcala, and the 3rd is Eileen C. Salita.  

The address is 3104 Tektite Tower East Building.  The hours of operation are local time Philippines: 9pm-12 noon the next day.  They call USA East-West coast throughout all the business hours.

The company is REALLY owned by an American from Colorado who calls himself Vincent Kahn. (pronounced Con  - Scam owner #1) and George A Krizan (Scam owner #2).  

Vincent Kahn lived in Mexico and the Dominican Republic and ran his call center scheme there while doing other "real" timeshare sales activities while being arrested for having 10,000 illegal leads (phone #'s with names/addresses used to illegally call people).  

He is the one that brings in the cash twice a week and illegally pays everyone off the books so that he can always keep himself separate and keep the 3 unknowing ladies in full responsibility if anything were to go wrong, which it will eventually, as with all scams.

This so called Global Travel Services (made up name that can change any time) claims that they have a group that is interested in renting your timeshare for up to $3600 per week for any weeks that you have available.  They claim to work with a partner company

called Universal Exchange who is a wholesaler so you've never heard of them and they cant be contacted on the web or on the phone (give me a break).  People believe this stuff so be careful.  The company itself is simply a boiler room with no real services except people talking.

They say that you can either use YOUR exchange company like RCI/II and do the exchange that way, but in the end they will force you  to use their exchange company Universal Exchange because the hotel that they claim to be renting for "The Hyatt/Regency or the

Mariott Hotel" are not even timeshare companies, so OF COURSE RCI CANNOT EXCHANGE.  So they will have either tricked you into using "Universal Exchange" which doesnt exist, or some of them will straight up tell you that you need to use Universal anyway.

Then, after you do your checking or if they can just scam you right away on the first call, you will give your credit card information to them so they can do what they call "pass it on the to exchange company so they can exchange your timeshare to the location which is in Cancun Mexico."

THERE IS NO CONVENTION IN CANCUN MEXICO FOR ANY DOCTORS, LAWYERS, OR ANY GROUP.

The $199 is charged by a random credit card processor who is based in the USA (the company goes through 10 processors a week if not more) because everyone is always cancelling and even the processors know they are doing illegitimate processes, thats why if you rent more than 1 week from this group, your billing statement will show random companies around the USA charging you.  (this is not typical of decent rental companies).

Plus, there is no contract.  And on top of all that, they will tell you that a 3rd party verification company will confirm things with you and record it.  THATS FOR THEIR BENEFIT NOT YOURS.  All they ask you is that you authorize to charge the card for some multiple of $199.   THATS IT.  They NEVER mention TIMESHARE during the verification because if they did, then the charge is obviously not valid since they are not even a timeshare company in any sort of a way.  So the verification is done just to verify that you screw yourself.

Please be careful of this scam guys, the phone #'s for this company that claims to be in Las Vegas NV are as follows:
702 514 3430      or    702 514 3431

Here is the breakdown of the scheme:

Owner of the account:  Vincent Kahn
Owner of 2nd branch office/employees:  George A. Krizan
Owner of the company as per the documentation: Kay ann Santos, Janice Alcala, Eileen Salita

Employees (real names):
Shirley Comia (scam sales)
Jenny Borja (scam sales)
Maureen Marino (scam sales Team Leader)
Aejay Sto. Domingo (scam sales)
Michelle (customer service)
Edward Artita (Tanya Edwards) (customer service)


Again, this operation (along with many others) are being done out of the notoriously unregulated telephone lines of the Philippines.  Most of these people are poor and could care less that they are ripping off poor widowed, retired American people who worked hard all their life to earn their money.

Please let this scam and all the timeshare scams be known.  THE MARKET IS NOT GOOD. PEOPLE ARE NOT BUYING/RENT ANY TIMESHARE!!!!!!!!!!!  The typical person who gets scammed and tricked are usually widowed, retired, older people who own timeshares and cant afford to pay their maintenance fees or for some reason dont use the timeshare like they used to and would love to turn a profit on a losing asset.

Heres the kicker (MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY SOMEONE ELSE WILL EASILY GET SCAMMED AGAIN)

Here is the last bit of evidence I have that will also make you laugh. Its the scam website, poorly designed by George Krizan himself.  It has the word Carribean spelled incorrectly [carrabean] (any company really operating out of that region would obviously know the real spelling for that). And the website is just a bunch of 'rebuttals' that the scam callers use, and now theyre just printed on the website.  I call this, evidence.  The website (for your entertainment purposes is located at):

http://www.globaltravelservices.info/

Thats completely impossible.  The company doesnt even have a billing or accounting department to cut checks.

Here are a few reasons why your post shows your a scammer protecting your job:

1.)  Call any of the following #'s which are current global travel service #'s (they change their # every few weeks) and ask them what timeshare they have on their system.

THEY CAN NEVER TELL YOU WHAT TIME SHARE YOU HAVE, OR EVEN WHAT TIMESHARE THAT THEY ALREADY RENTED FROM YOU, BECAUSE ITS ALL A SCAM.

2.)  Call RCI or II and ask if it is even possible for a company to "exchange" someone elses timeshare without the owner authorizing or actually doing the exchange.

RCI and II will both tell you that the owner would have to be the one to do the exchange.  They have to provide the RCI or II acct. # and verify themselves.  How can a company located in Manila Philippines that doesnt even know how to prounounce your name do such a thing?

3.)  The company that charges the $199 exchange fee is different EVERY TIME.  These are scam credit card processors that charge the owner of that scam company like 30-40% becuase they know half of the charges will be disputed.

4.)  EVERYONE IS IN THE PHILIPPINES.  Ask to speak to a different person every time.  They all have white people names and all speak with a very heavy Filipino accent.  (why would they lie about their location if its a real deal?)

5.)  Their apparent website  (globaltravelservices.info) has major typo on it  (carrabean)   hahaha.

6.)  The other website they sometimes claim (globaltravelservices.net) has absolutely no content on it.  Just click around, try to actually buy a travel package. Its all a FRONT.

This scammers acct. should be deleted on here.

huh? the link you gave seems useless

yes, its a scam website, they took it down. thats the #1 characteristic of a scammer....always running.

How come you know so much? and why just expose this now? Something does not sound right about your story

You seem to be mentioning a lot of names, why don't you mention yours so that we know you're not just some random guy on the net

@Joe - why don't you give us your name and your info so that we'll know that you're not joking around. So that we can use you as a reference

tell me what exactly doesnt sound right? ill happily explain

You dodged my question. Whats your real name and where are you located?

Your obviously one of the scammers because you are trying to question the timing of this?   any regular consumer who is out there worried about scammers would never think about the timeframe of someone blowing the whistle on a scam.  

and something doesnt sound right about my story?   thats hilarious.  its completely true so how could there be anything wrong with it?    of course the scammers found out about the website being advertised as a scam so they took it down.   its a horrible website anyway, i think any educated american could easily see past those oversized credit card images hahaha. thers a standard size for that if youve ever programed web based merchant accounts.

Why do I need to give my name to some random person on the internet?  Whats your authority here?  And what grounds do you have to demand my location?  Its completely unrelated to the truth I have provided.  Whether im located in Tibet or in Russia, the fact stands that its a scam and regardless of whether you believe ME, look at all the other reports.  Why dont you argue with any of the other posters on here?  

Heres how you know its a scam George:
Check all your facts, call the # and try to rent them a completely [***] timeshare, and they can easily do it because they just want your credit card.   I can do it right now if you want.   Anyone out there is welcome to call up any of these #'s (if the scammers havent changed them already) and try to rent your timeshare using a made up name.  They will buy into it because all of the agents dont know anythign about real timeshares.  Here try this one, 702 514 3431

I thought so, trying to dodge the subject. No one knows who you are and what you're trying to prove. If you can't tell us your identity then your credibility is flushed down the toilet.
