Thanks for the info Jim! Glad to see you have everyone's best interests.
As they say once a crook always a crook!

Hopefully she'll just sell the contract...

I can see the auction now: 150 Beach Club points with a Buy-It-Now of $9200 requiring full and immediate payment by Western Union.

Jim,

If tis recorded in Orange County its public information. Could you post the link to the volume & page? Then we all could go there and view it for ourselves.

Thanks Jim......

I do remember this horrible person from before. Didn't Tom from TTS help out the victim? I seem to remember that happening in this case.

Yes, Tom graciously offered 200+ of his own personal points at a tremendously reduced rental...which really kinda blew a lot of us away. However, the victims equally graciously declined the offer because the objective was to alert other potential victims and get the crook to do the right thing, not generate donations from DIS members.

You know, even though these forums are widely used, it's still such a small percentage of people that are DVC owners/renters etc. that we really have no idea just how widespread these fraud issues might be. I hope there is some way member services can flag the records of anyone that might have a history of "questionable activity" and watch those contracts a little more closely.

Hey...maybe they can throw in some free passes too!

It is against DIS posting rules to publish someone's true name here. Therefore, I will not publish this woman's name, either publicly in a thread, or privately by PM or email.

Then how about her name isn't published... we could do it like hang-man or a rhyme...

_ichell_ jon_s

or rhymes with Nichelle Rones

Please don't waste your time and mine asking me to PM you the name.

It is against DIS posting rules to publish someone's true name here. Therefore, I will not publish this woman's name, either publicly in a thread, or privately by PM or email.

However, if someone sends me the true name (not screen name, which is no help) of a person they are considering renting from, I am allowed to tell them whether or not they're dealing with this crook.

Good lookin' out Jim.

These cases are truly rare, but to those unwitting renters that run into them, they are very real.

Can't get it out of your system can you? Still runnin' around looking out for others. Truly admirable....

By the way, I got an email that said I'm to receive an estate settlement worth $5 million. I just need to send $2500 in customs taxes to free up the money. What do you think????

Sounds like a small price to pay.

Was the email from Nigeria, Russia, Uzbekistan?

Well, I think it is a virtual shame that a crook is allowed to do this. Why can't DVC stop this behavior? It seems like the membership could be Red Flagged. Maybe she won't Pay her dues. Thanks for the heads up, Jim!

Oh me oh my!

I'm the OP of the "Sad Story" thread...and JimMIA's number one fan...

I'm ashamed to say the very first thought that popped into my head was that maybe now I could get my money back (she ripped me off for $800)...but no, it wouldn't be worth the stress--I've put that very bad memory out of my mind--I celebrate the friendships I gained thru the experience (Jim is one; Doc was wonderful; my fellow victim, Stacey, is now a DVC owner and my "DVC sister"--I tell myself that's worth $800 all by itself!)...

But do be careful, folks...don't be dumb like I was...it's a painful lesson to learn the hard way.

Just finished up a lovely winter vacation week at BCV w/my college age son...the rip-off was a drag, but in no way tarnished my love of Disney! (But did contribute to my "terminal addonitis"...instead of renting the extra points I needed for that one extra vacation last year, I added on...and then I did it again, for one more extra vacation, and then one more time because the double developer points were just too good a deal to pass up...

I do believe I now have "enough" points...but in my world, never say never...

I digress.

Sure hope our "bad apple" doesn't break through DISBoards protections...and that anyone reading here does in fact check prior to renting...

Like Jim, I cannot and will not "offer up" a name...but I can and will confirm or deny so feel free to PM me as well as Jim.

Jim, have we told you recently how wonderful you are? You are!!

Hopefully she'll just sell the contract and get herself a decent place to live with the proceeds.

Or perhaps, she'll check-in at BCV for a week, and self-extend for 51 additional weeks!

This is what confuses me. It's and email from a solicitor in the UK, the estate is in Nigeria from some distant relative I didn't know existed, but it's a canadian customs tax that I have to pay.. Should I look a gift horse in the mouth, or just pay the taxes???

Seroously, you've done a great service to everone on these boards with this find.

LOL!! It certainly would fit the pattern.

 

[robinb]

Yikes!!! Here we go again...

Jim -- Have you actually seen anything that might be rental activity from her?

That's my question too. Has she really tried to rent to people again?
