received notice of a buyer for my timeshare. The name of the buyer was”Andrew Frechette” I presume false name. He told me his broker “Aaron Ganit would be in touch with next steps. Andrew Frechette contacted me and sent a “cashiers check” for $2900. $500 for me as deposit and I had to send the balance to Aaron Ganit as his fees , because Ganit was out of the country on business he could not send his feed direct.! Cashier check arrived but I was suspicious because Ganit wanted his fees send to a wan In Eygpt! Told the bank who were also suspicious. Instead of getting access to the check immediately bank wanted to check it out.Fraud! No money in the Credit Union check he sent. If I had taken money put, kept $500 and the fee balance to him, I would have owed $2900 toy bank!! Watch the names and scam.
