Major Police Operation in Spain – 22 arrested in Alleged Resale Fraud

RDO (the Resort Development Organisation) can report that the police in Spain have arrested 22 people following an investigation - which RDO contributed towards - into alleged resale and notary/lawyer fraud in Malaga and Tenerife. The resale company, which has not been named by the police, reportedly took upfront payments from owners for the fictitious sale of their timeshare. Some timeshare owners were then contacted again by members of the same network, inviting them to use the services of a lawyer to recoup the money that they had lost.

During the searches, which took place at 11 properties, officers found lists of owners and written instructions for telephone conversations to potential ‘victims’.

Members of the public who think they may have been defrauded by this company should contact RDO’s enforcement team on info@rdo.org or their local Trading Standards office.
