Re: Has anyone purchased from Vallart Gardens? (by Heather O.):

Desperate..... I have a family member who most likely has been scammed with this operation at VG. It has resulted in a recent move and I am extremely concerned. Does anyone have a phone number to contact Tim Lester or Dan? Unfortunately, those are the only names I have and I have not heard from my family in some time now. My fear is the truth has come out and the scam is all too real!!!

This organization only sells; they have no people in place to rent the property; no 800 numbers to call for assisstance; they are just selling....... What they are selling to unsuspected and duped customers is not intended to be used by the customer. Think about it....not only is a timeshare (vacation property) being sold; an insurance (annuity product) is also being sold that is probably worthless; (it supposedly at some point in the future pays for the property entirely); then, some company calls offering to rent your property for a substantial amount of money (Orlando implied this was done free by VG to help pay for the VG ts)---not so!!!! and then if you have a previous timeshare that was a 'trade-in', a company calls saying they are authorized to complete the transfer for a substantial fee.

Money on top of money. And no 800 or other dependable numbers where you can contact VG personnel.
