Tele Teton Corporation

Nov 22, 2011

I talked with the USPS inspections office about the claim that was transfered from the A. Generals office in Michigan and they said it would be a looked at in about..........3 months!!! Because they just moved their office and the USPS inspectors are back logged on complaints, great! I told the lady I talked to, that is to bad because by the time they get to it this complaint, the company the would have already started another company up, scammed a bunch of more innocent people out of money, and closed down to relocate and start another. So they are already behind the 8 ball. The USPS should have all the information though from the AG of MI office.

I also got Scammed By Tele Teton Corp. I have the same issues with Tele Teton as all the above. I paid upfront $1985.00 for closing on June 16, 2011. Got an e-mail Sept. 8 saying everything was ready for closure sending documents to buyer for review and signature. I have not heard from them nor can I contact them. The names I talked with was: Marc Solomon, Eathon Scott, Mrs. Johnson, Gary West and Evelyn Keys. As one person said above these people may not exist. L. Smith

We too, paid $1536.00. Should have known it was too good to be true. We sent a bank check so they would not have our cking account numbers. The only smart thing I did, I guess. Our names were Brian Moore,sales, Greogory Whittiker, Financial, Evelyn Keyes, customer service, Angela Johnson, administrative assistant, and our P&S was signed by Steven Adler, Pres. & CEO himself on 9/16/2011. We will do anything to help stop these people. Just from the number of hits on this site alone at an average of $2000.00 a pop, they have hauled in $7,940,000. We have submitted claims to AG offices in Wyoming, Michigan and FL. I am wondering is it bank fraud cashing a bank check noted for closing costs pertaining to our deeded property ?? Can any one answer that for us ?

It's probably painful re-living the memory of it all but, as a warning to others who may turn to these forums, could you please tell us what the sales pitch was and what they promised you?

P.S. So sorry to hear that this happened to you but, sadly, we see posts like this almost daily on these boards.

I do not know if this constitutes bank fraud, great questions though. We talked with our financial advisor today and they said we should be able to write the amount off on our taxes as a fraudulent or casualty loss on our tax return for next year. Everyone should look into this. The best thing we can do is to keep posting these blogs.

Any and all of the messages above give you their line. Probably what hooked us was "call and check out with a Lawyer' and "visit our website" We even went to the Local Better Business web site to check them out and we consulted with a licensed sales person in our area. As one other "smart" person posted, tell them to take the closing cost put of the proceeds. They hang up pretty quick on that one.

Redline Funding name that contacted us was Jason Whitley. Owner name was supposedly Robert Harris and director of client services was Audrey Brooks. Their address given was 2525 E. Paris SE, Suite 111, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Of course we all know now that they were never at those physical addresses. That Steve Adler is suppose to be from Jackson, Wy. with office in Cheyenne. Wyoming is a very small state and someone always knows someone here. No office in Cheyenne. Imagine that. And I am with all of you...lets nail these guys!!
Guess what, Janet??? This Robert Harris guy is now trying to scam people by saying his so-called company, First Financial Capital, out of Wilmington, DE has purchased our loans that we lost money on with Teleteton. Now we can continue the process with him, and he will kindly refund that money at closing. The catch is that I am supposed to pay another (HIGHER!) upfront fee for some document tax to HIM! Does he think I'm a complete idiot?? I got taken once, and he has the audacity to try a second time? I have called a real estate attorney and will see if there is anything we can do to track down these guys....would love it if we could catch them!!! Everyone, be cautious of this company's name!

These snakes crawl out of their holes eventually and resurface. I would LOVE to nail this guy!! Keep us posted and it may be a place to start to pin them down. Unfortunately they never have a physical address. Did this guy call you? Do you have a phone number?? I have known for some time that Redline Funding, (Robert Harrris) and the ones who contacted me, and TeleTeton was connected.


Janet P.

Yes, I have his phone number: 302-332-6783. He has made up a website called firstfinancialtoday.com. Today I called the Delaware Attorney General's Office but had to leave a message...maybe they are closed for the holiday. Since we know where he is right now, I want to nail him now!! I hope the AG's office will help us after Christmas. Will keep everyone informed.

Will timeshare scams ever cease .... it certainly doesn't look like it .... more and more are crawling out of the woodwork on a daily basis .... be very leary of any proposition that sounds too good to be true OR demands an upfront fee.

I hope that everyone who has posted on here is diligent and will persevere with catching these guys. They are smart and usually one step ahead of everyone, but they will get caught eventually. And keep in mind that they most likely read the posting on all of the sites like this one. Everyone...keep the faith and keep after them. We may never get our money back but just the satisfacation that they are caught is good enough for me...getting my money back would just be icing on the cake. Not going to happen.

Dec 27, 2011

You are right about being diligent in trying to catch these soul-less bloodsuckers, Janet. They don't have the guts to make an honest living like the rest of us but rather they prey on honest people who have worked hard for their money. The money I lost was from my retirement account, and I'm sure everyone has a story, right? These people will be judged one day, I have no doubt. Anyway, I have people on their tails...will tell more when I have more to say in case they are monitoring this site.

We also lost $1985. same scenario with contract, buyers reviewing and then nothing. Can't reach them. Any suggestions how to get rid of our timeshare through a legitimate company or way???? Don't do business withTeleTeton.

Just had a client come in to wire funds to First Financial Capital. Couldn't find anything when I googled it, only by the info "they" give you of "First Financial Today.com", how convenient. Robert Harris probably is going by Robert Chapman and using the same phone # 302-332-6783. At least I saved one person from loosing $2,246.12. I don't know much about Timeshares, but when you sell something, why don't they keep whatever fees they impose and THEN send you the proceeds(remainder)? Because IT"S A SCAM!

Bless you Sharon, at least you were in a position to save someone. Too bad the check couldn't have been sent to the address and the Sheriff, FBI or a State Trooper be waiting to see who picked up the mail and arrest them. Just a pipe dream, but it would be great if it could happen. I have received my canceled Bank check with the account numbers and am forwarding with other paperwork to DA in MI. Hopefully one of us will have the little unknown bit of information they slipped up on.

This is something how this company keep coming after the same people trying to steel more money from them. I had someone call me from exchange international saying they were calling from an attorney office in Florida and they were taking over the cases aganist Tele Teton and they needed to send me some papers to fill out and i had to do this fast in order to get my money back, before they could send me the papers they needed a void check for $289.00 processing fees i guess. I asked why i couldnt send the check in with the paper work and was told that they could not send the paper work until they get the money. I informed them i did not have it so they asked when will i have it i told them maybe in two weeks so they will call me back in 2 weeks.This is the number they called me from 407-215-5414 or she can be reached at 877-833-0885, address 230 lookout place suite 200, Maland Florida, fax 407-660-4744. The woman that called me was Morgan summers from frud department at Dedit Exchange International . Did anyone else get this call for this company?

The number (302) 332-6783 is a person that claims to have been in business for 7 years. He said that he took over our timeshare sale from an agency in Florida (which must have been the same scam). The 1st was a company claiming to be WorldWide Global Funding out of Florida. Same story ... it will take 3 months to close the deal. We sent them over $1,000 for "closing costs" which were suppose to be recouped by the buyer last October. The 1st one sounded a lot more legit than this one. What set off bells in my head was that this one wanted us to wire the money, but would not send us the information in email.

I had the exact situation as above with World Wide Global Funding and First Financial Capital dealing with the same individuals, Jake Hilton and Robert Chapman. No one at World Wide Global Funding can be reached since December, and now First Financial Capital is calling saying they are financing my deal and want money transferred to them for "transfer fees & applicalbe taxes" in the amount of $2168.16/
