First of all, everyone that's been scammed by this company should report the scammers to the Attorney General in the state the scammers are located .... in most cases you can do this online.

The Florida AG is coming down on these scammers bigtime.

jayjay, I think we've been scamed, too. Been dealing with Tele teton since Aug. 1st. Received the contract, sent the money, got all their e-mails re. searching for clear title, giving my resort 1st right of refusal, setting up closing in a couple of weeks, blah blah blah. And for the last couple of days I've be trying to call those same telephone numbers(517)-803-2700 & (517)803-2931 but I can't get through. "The mail box is full" and some other B.S. Can anyone give us some information on how to contact the Attorney General or anyone else who may be able to help us. I want to put these "bloodsuckers" behind bars!!!

I reported and filed a complaint against Redline Funding, which I believe to be another one of TeleTeton's scammmers, to the state Attorney General's Office (Michigan) online and recieved a written reply back from them that it was forwarded on to the United Postal Service and that it is being reviewed and investgated there. It is a federal offense to financially scam anyone via the U.S. Postal service. I talked at length to my state attorney generals office about filing an additional complaint within my state and he told me it would just be duplicate paperwork and that the USPostal Service and the Florida AG is after these guys. I was told it was unlikely that our money would be returned but that some gratification will be that these guys are put behind bars. He said that it will take months and hopefully when they are convicted, if that happens, that all who have filed complaints will be notified. Hope we are informed somewhere along the process here.?? Keep in mind that whatever state they say they are in is just a phony address, as it was in Michigan and Wyoming. They know that the address given in Wyoming for Teleteton is non existant as a place of occupation. But, still file a complaint to the AG in which state they say they are operating out of, such as Wyoming. Most all of it comes out of Florida though. Just do what they advise you to do when you contact them. And I would call them in addition to filing online and talk to someone who seems to know something about it. The man in the Wyoming AG office name is Mark Moren, 307-777-5838. Hope this info helps.

Do not sign up with this company. We did the background research with them. Blogs, BBB (which at the time they had a A rating (thanks BBB)), and as previos bloggers they seemed legit. We signed up with them on Aug 5th and they said we should close within 90days with would be Nov 5th right! WRONG. We made several calls to get an update and no answer from phone or emails. We signed up with them too because they were a Michigan based company and thought great finally we don't have to deal with someone in Florida to sell our timeshare. We even requested a copy of the purchase agreement with the buyer, which they were able to show us, later finding out they didn't even exist. The ironic thing is they were located in LANSING, MI!! OUR STATE CAPITOL right down the street from our Attorney General's office! The CEO or CESO (Chief Executive Scam Officer) Steven Adler, if that's his real name, was in charge of this branch in MI. "Steve" if you are out there reading this and laughing your way to the bank I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for taking the money we were going to start our kids college fund from the sale of the timeshare, and thanks for shattering real American Dreams from hard working people like us, I don't know how you can sleep at night, we will pray for you.

BIG TIME SCAM!!!!!! I received a call about a couple of months ago from a company called Redline Funding. They assured me they had a buyer for me, they even sent me a phony "purchase agreement" with the alleged buyer's signature. Needless to say i fell for that scam and they took my 2100 dollars! a few weeks later there phones are disconnected! And a few weeks after that i receive another call from Teleteton saying the same exact thing. Both companies are the same. These scammers need to be stopped!!! I too have complained to the attorney general in michigan and they have told me that this case is now with the post master general. they must get stopped soon! these people are pathetic and shouldnt be allowed to continue to be in business. they are stealing from innocent people like me and you!!!!!!

I too was scammed buy Tete Teton Corp. This started 7/21/11 and I just got this info today that a lot of other pepole were scammed too. They even scammed the BBB ie Better Business Burearu by staying in good standings for their required time to get the accredited A rating on thier web site. Then they ran a 90 day scam to get people like us to fall for their fraud sales on our time share. In the begining of 10/11 their rating changed from A to no rating under review. Now as of today they are at F rating w/ 13 complaints against them keep them comming. Maybe the BBB will update their system so they don't get scammed any more. We should all get a class action suit going to get our money back. Also, if you have been scammed by this company you need to file a police report w/ the Lansing police dept. too. The more the marry. Good Luck to everyone. get back on the class action suit.

Update-I got call from the Lansing detective and he informed me the he investigated where this company was addressed at and found out the move out in 7/11. So when they were sending emails after that time they were already gone from that address. They were just scamming the BBB for 90/days and picking up cks. This was forward over to the Post Master Inspector Gil Webb 616-771-8523. They already have a case open for Tele Teton. All you need to do is call him and send him all your info you have on your scam. Because this is a state to state wide issues they are the people who handles these complaints. They have the ability to track state to state. I think we need to contact to attorneys in Lansing to start a class action suit or get more info. Because they are on the run now and can't be located. Everyone needs to contact their local media so every state knows what is going on.

I agree on the class action suit, that is if they can be found to prosecute. I Googled all of the people I delt with at Tele Teton Co. and all of the names that they gave me (Steven Adler, Zoe Perez, Evelyn Keys) are all famous people! I think awerness is important too. To gain media attention would be a great thing too. I have sent a Media inquiry story to Dateline NBC, to see if they would be interested in doing a story like Timeshare Sales fraud, we'll see if it's story worthy? I will be contacting Lansing News paper today also to get as much media exposer as possible. I do not want anyone else to get scammed. These people are always trying to stay one step ahead of the media and law so I am sure that they are already creating fictitious names and comany as we speak.

Several news people are contacting me about what happened will keep you informed. Thanks

How do you go about the class action law suit? Who do you contact for that. I want these people...Redline Funding and Teleteton put away. I am sure they are the same people. I love the idea of a news story. I hope Dateline will get involved with this story. We all are such a small voice communicating here and there has been so many people scammed by these snakes. You can be sure that those involved in this scam are reading and monitoring all of the blogs. Maybe all of us should be contacting the media.

News channel 6 contacted me yesterday and interviewed me via phone and asked me what happened. I gave them my story and that we need their help to get this message out so we can create some awareness. They will hopfully broadcast this soon. Will keep informed if and when they do report this. The reporter did say they contacted the AG-Attorney General's office and there is 19 recent reported cases with this company. I do beleive that if the AG office can locate them and it comes to processicution than those that made a complaint about them will be part of the suit.

**ALERT BE SURE TO READ THIS!!**A reminder to everyone that got scammed by them. If you sent them a check they now have your checking account #. Freeze, transfer, and close this account ASAP. Call your bank too and let them know this account has been compermised so they can red flag it until you have fully closed this account.

Just to let you know, I live in Maine and was contacted by this company a few weeks ago. Was very interested, took down some info and talked with family who said to proceed with caution; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Tried to call them a few days ago and no response and then I found your website. Post so folks know that they are spreading out!

Don't do it. We paid money and now cannot get in touch with them. I believe that it is a scam.

I agree. I just filed a complaint with the attorney general on-line. I don't know if it will help or not... Do we need a private attorney? I'll take any advice.

Thank you for your information. Even if we never see our money again, at least we can gain some satisfaction of seeing them go to jail.

Yes. I do hope that "Steve" gets his!!

We should at least expose these people for who they are!!

I have been in contact with the AG office and they informed me that the case has been closed because they passed it off to the United States Postal Service, because their scam involved mail fraud. I have a call into them, will keep you updated. I am sure by now Tele Teton are long gone and inorder to file a law suit on this we will obviously need to locate them.

I am just sick!Tele Teton"s Terry Roma contacted us back in June. We have had daily calls about selling our timeshare so finally I took this one . I was very sceptical about this because I have been scammed before for thousands of dollars.I had several long conversations with this guy and even three way calls with my husband involved. We believed the guy and had e-mails . I made several phone calls when I wouldn't hear an update.The last call I made was in September (we were promised 90 days it would be done)the customer service "Zoe Perez" even acted annoyed that I was questioning what was taking so long. We paid the $1,990 by money order back in june sent it overnite express!!! Ethan Scott was the finance manager who also called to confirm they were legit!!!! I want revenge!!

I sent Tele Teton my money in July 2011, and when I requested a copy of the tille search and right of first refusal, all contact ceased. I contacted Postal Inspector Gil Webb (616) 771-8523, today and am sending him a copy of all of my correspondence with Tele Teton, along with my cancelled check. By the way, I received a call from a VO Group, LLC located in Egg Harbor, NJ this week asking about timeshare fraud. They are "F" rated by the NJ BBB. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same people. I would be interested in a class action suite against them, if they are found.

I also contacted Dateline NBC asking them to check out this story and to please help us to find out who these people are and to expose them. It's a long shot, but if enough of us keep at it maybe we will get a break somewhere and stop these creeps. Everyone needs to contact them or any other media outlets that you know of. National exposure would be best because they are scamming many people all over the country. So if you are reading this mister scammer we are after YOU!!
