What was the outcome of this case? Do the victims have any chance of getting their money back? Thank You, Roland and Beverley Wilkins (victims)

I have just received notice that the US Government is prosecuting the principals of AMG, Christopher and Jeffrey George for a whole miriad of fraudulent dealings, only one of which is timeshare sales scams. The matter is US vs. Christopher and Jeffrey George, Case # 10-80149-Cr-Marra, SD/FL PACTS No. 106045 and 109143. Unfortunately, the claim filing is today November 30. 2011. You may contact Ms. Rose Williams in the US District Court, Southern District of Florida, Probation Department, [protected].

I have two deals pending with American Marketing Group. They were supposed to sell my two timeshares for pre-approved buyers. The deal was to have concluded on October 6; then, Nov. 20. I'm still waiting. I have spoken to them, but there always seems to be some sort of snag. I have been trying to get in touch with them. They were supposedly out of the office until today, Dec. 4. Today, they were unable to answer the phone.

Since we were scammed by this place we have been receiving many calls upping the offers and some of them wanting less deposits.how can we get back at these *#!^

I got a call from Lance Wilkins stating they had a buyer for our property. He said they had a buyer with an asking price of 76, 000.00. They told me I had to pay an upfront fee of 2850.00 for title search and closing costs. After the payment I was unable to reach him as well as the company. After researching it more its only a bunch of thieves living the good life from what I heard. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING! Scammers

A man, "John Conway" of American Marketing Group. located in Palm Beach Gardens, FLA, called (don't know how he got my name or info) and said had a buyer for two of my timeshares for a price of $35, 700! He said "all the paperwork" would be done in 60-70 days. For a fee of $900.00 from me, he could get this done.
Yeh, right! He didn't even know where my timeshares are located or where he got my name from.

My Husband and I wanted to rent out some of our timeshare and we got a call from Joe and his wife Michelle (one did the selling of the property and the other did the renting of the property). We were told that if we give them $999.00 that they would rent out our timeshare for that one time fee for life. They said that they would need 8, 500 points and that in turn would make us 2, 400 dollars. We have not heard from them since. So watch out!

BE WARNED THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM! DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM OR PAY THEIR $1298.00 FEE! The only thing AMG follows through on is to bill your credit card for an excessive fee & give excuse after excuse. Here is what is happening to my fiance & I...
Andreas (sales rep) called several times saying it was imperative we call him back as he indicated he had a buyer for our property. Andreas even went so far to say he had already flown the buyer to view our property & insisted the buyer wanted to buy it right away. Andreas also told us he wouldn't have approached us unless he had a buyer! Andreas then told us the buyer had to pay a $3K fee to AMG to secure the deal. Andreas lead us to believe the buyer had to get financing & we would see our cheque for our agreed asking price of $16K. Andreas also told us the deal would close within 60 days & no more than 120 days! AMG's customer service went through all of the details by phone & said we would receive our cheque by August 17. We agreed & AMG sent us a contract by FedX that we signed, dated & returned by AMG's specified date (June 6). We believed AMG & had them bill our credit card for their fee. It's October 23 & we have NOT received our money & are now getting nothing but a run around from AMG! AMG has told us the buyer has poor credit & the financing company asked the buyer to put an additional 10% down which was over 2 months ago. We were never informed what was happening with our so called deal. We have continued to follow-up each week since August 17 & on & on the lies & excuses go.
Take the time to research these timeshare marketing companies. Each one has a slightly different approach from the next. However, the result is the same with all of them. You pay a fee, you wait & continually follow-up, they don't call back, they give you a run around, they close up shop & open up under a different name only to start the scam all over again.
Whatever happened to the real commission earned...you get your fee WHEN the timeshare sells, NOT before. That's how this is a scam.

I recievied false information stating that marketing group match with approximately 3 months. 7/10/2009 Representive said we are on final step waiting on owner to send paperwork. Called on 7/13/2009 buyers had errors on the paperwork. Called 7/30/2009 waiting on corrections from buyers. On 8/5/2009 waiting on financing. I called on 8/10/2009 still waiting. Called 9/16/2009 Waiting on deposit by buyers. I called on 10-12-2009 represtative said waiting on 5% down. Called 11/25/2009 still waiting on 5% down. I tried to send my proof but it said THE PHOTO IS TOO LARGE. THE MAX SIZE IS 2 MB

AMG ARE THIEFS THAY TOOK ME FOR 1600.00. ALWAYS SAID THAT THAY HAD BUYERS NET TIME I HAVE CALLED ALL NUMBERS HAVED CHANGED. DONT DO ITTTT.

I too have been taken by this company for $1700. They have been leading me on for almost 6 months and now I find out that the buyer has failed to pay their money and my money is not refundable. I remember Anthony telling me it would be no problem getting my money back if it didn't sell within 120 days. I would bet my life that there was never a buyer and these guys are scamming the pants off people on a daily basis. I feel so stupid, but I guess I am nnt the only one they have done this to.

I filed complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. I got a call from AMG saying there is an offer for less than what I asked for. I agreed to give them another chance. The next thing I know, AMG responded to the authorities that "customer still willing to work", never mentioning any offer... I'm starting to think it is another fake offer...

We bought a timeshare and then soon realized that we did not need it nor want it. We contacted AMG and they talked to my husband and reassured him that he would have it sold in 120 max or he would refund our $1798 that I learned he, "Matt", told my husband it would cost to sell it. We have heard nothing and no one answers the customer service line. We have since contacted the better business bureau, the Attorney General of Florida, and now a lawyer. They are a fraudulent company. My advice is always research a company and when they ask for this high amount of money run and don't look back.
