            Alert

            As of March 26, 2018, BBB has received a Scam Tracker report and complaint from consumers alleging Marketing Trustees of America had contacted them offering to buy their timeshare.  After the consumer signed the contract she was instructed to wire money to Mexico. 

            BBB found Marketing Trustees of America, Inc. is not a licensed escrow, title or real estate company in Washington State.  BBB also found Marketing Trustees of America, Inc. is not licensed to do business in Washington State.  BBB found their website, http://www.marketingtrusteesofamerica.net was recently created on May 19, 2017.  BBB could not confirm a physical location at the advertised address of 480 Pike Street, Seattle, WA.  BBB found this address is also being used by a fraudulent escrow company involved in timeshare sales, Benchmark Escrow, Inc. whose business profile can be viewed here,  https://www.bbb.org/western-washington/business-reviews/escrow-services/benchmark-escrow-inc-in-seattle-wa-1000047198/Alerts-and-Actions.  On March 26, 2018, BBB reached out to the company by phone, email and letter and is awaiting a response.

            If you are the victim of a timeshare resale/escrow scam, BBB recommends reporting your experience to BBB and filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov, your local states Attorney General’s office and FBI at www.ic3.gov.
