I WAS CONTACTED BY A MR. DAVE JOHNSON FROM FREEDOM MARKETING ASKING ME IF I WANTED TO RENT OR SELL MY TIMESHARE PROPERTY. BEING THAT I WAS NOT USING ANY OF THEM I SAID SURE AND HE WENT INTO HIS SALES PITCH AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A GUARANTEED SALE AND THAT HE WOULD HAVE A BUYER BEFORE 30 DAYS... HE THEN CHARGED ME $ 3300.00 DOLLARS FOR HIM TO SELL THEM AND SAID HE WOULD REFUND MY CREDIT CARD IF THE PROPERTY WOULDNT SELL WITHIN THAT TIME! I FELT VERY LEARY AT FIRST BUY BEING THAT I HAD 2 TIMESHARES AND MY MAINTENANCE FEES ARE OVER $2100.00 PER YEAR AND AM NO LONGER ABLE TO USE THEM BECAUSE OF HEALTH RELATED ISSUES I CONSENTED AND HE STATED THAT AFTER 10 BUSINESS DAYS I WOULD RECEIVE SOME PAPER WORK IN THE MAIL FOR ME TO SIGN AND MAIL BACK TO HIM. WELL I PAID THE 3K AND 3 DAYS LATER RECEIVED A CALL FROM LANDSTAR TIMESHARES FROM A MS. SUSAN FIELDS WHO WAS VERY POLITE AND ASKED ME THE SAME QUESTION REGARDING MY TIMSHARES, I THEN EXPLAINED TO HER WHAT I HAD DONE WITH MR. DAVE JOHNSON FROM FREEDOM ADVERTISING AND SHE IMMEDIATELY GOT HER MGR. MR. RILEY PARKER ON THE LINE WHOM WAS ALSO VERY THOROUGH IN EXPLAINING TO ME HOW THEY DO BUSINESS AND CHARGING ME ONLY $859.00 FOR BOTH OF MY STUDIO PROPERTIES WHICH I OWN WITH BLUEGREEN RESORTS EVERY OTHER ODD AND EVEN YEARS. I THEN TURNED MATTERS OVER TO LANDSTAR AND THEY WHERE ABLE TO HAVE MR. DAVE JOHNSON REFUND MY CREDIT CARD FOR THE FULL $3, 300.00 CHARGE ON MY AMERICAN EXPRESS. I FELT OUTRAGED THAT MR. JOHNSON AND HIS COMPANY HAD TAKEN SUCH ADVANTAGE OF ME, YET; I AM THANKFUL TO BOTH MS.FIELDS AND MR. PARKER FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE OUT THERE NOT TO DO ANY BUSINESS WITH FREEDOM MARKETING OR MR. DAVE JOHNSON! THEY ARE A TOTAL SCAM!
