scam or not

Supernan4

Have been contacted by a company saying they can get our money back from Eze group -Regency Shores. How do we know whether this a scam or not.
Company is :
MM MoneyPro MoneyPro <moneyprofessional1@gmail.com>

"1. You would expect to receive back no less than the original purchase price as discussed, on a strictly No Win No Fee basis."
2. The procedure will take a maximum of 60 days and only on receipt of refunded monies into your bank will you be asked to pay the companies percentage of 20%

3. The relinquishment of any timeshares or points would then follow to eliminate any further maintenance bills.

Firstly, on what basis are they claiming that you're due a refund ?


But that aside, no reputable company is going to use a Gmail address. And they'd be able to use punctuation correctly : "..will you be asked to pay the companies percentage of 20%"


It's a scam, 100% guaranteed.

and probably at some point you will be asked to provide you banking details so that they can pay you back (or pay themselves!!)

Hi, we move threads if we think they’ll get more help elsewhere (please read the forum rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board. If you have any questions about this policy please email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

Any company that uses a free email account for their business is almost certainly a scam.

Almost certain run by a bunch is shysters who originally sold the sort of timeshare deals, they are now claiming to be able to get you out of.

Because they contacted you. If they contact you, it's a scam. End of story.

Are you greedy?
If yes, then play along with them, but put a magazine in your pants to save you from being caned.

OP this is actually a very common scam - in a nutshell these companies reckon that because you were gullible enough to buy the timeshare in the first place, you'll be gullible enough to fall for their crap too.
