Lakewood Management Services

Jan 25, 2012

Has anyone ever heard of Lakewood Management Services? They state they have a buyer under contract who wishes to acquire 21% of the Playa Del Sol Property. They request a proposal to be signed indicating we are interested in a transaction based on a sale price of 30K. and then they send a formal contract. I say "Scam" my husband says check em out!... I found a very generic web page with basically a well written description of a company with no information. www.lakewoodmanagementservices.com business phones number added to site. but when I can't seem to do a search and connect the two. Any info would be appreciated. I already know not to give money up front. Don't pay any Mexican fees and watch for % owed if buyer backs out.

They called me yesterday. There was no pressure, no info hunting, just said they were trying to aquire Playa Del Sol properties. They sent me a proposal stating the same thing, they have a client looking to purchase 21% of Playa Del Sol.

This is just another front for scammers. http://www.stopthescam.org/timeshare.htm

I love it. People are finally using the site www.stopthescam.org. I wish more peole would visit that site before sending their money to the scammmers. You would hear a lot less horror stories if people would visit the site first.

Not sure how to do that Jayjay. I would appreciate it if you could do that. I don't know what a sticky is.

I also received a phone call from Lakewood Management services. They are offering us a little over $30, 000 for our time share at play del sol. We were almost involved with a scam company in the fall. They were out of Kansas City, Mo. We would like to sell and our very concerned that this is a scam company. I had a lawyer friend of mine in Chicago look up the company. She said the company comes up in good standing. Do you have any information on this.

It's a SCAM. Nobody is going to pay $ 30,000 for a timeshare on a resale. Run as fast as you can from these people.

Do you really think somebody is eager and ready to fork over $67,000 for a Mexican timeshare? Some owners there are trying tirelessly to give their Mexican timeshares away with no takers.

Or if they tell you they have a buyer, period, it's a scam and the Florida attorney general is on their trail to close them down in that state.
