The
FBI warns that Mexican drug trafficking cartels are targeting Americans in timeshare fraud scams.
The
FBI has seen a rise in scams targeting timeshare owners. In this kind of scam,
criminals con these part-time property owners into shelling out hefty sums of
cash, all under false pretenses related to their timeshare
properties.
Its
primary choice of victim—older Americans—technically makes timeshare fraud a
form of elder fraud, or crime that aims to make older Americans part with their
money or cryptocurrency. The FBI aggressively investigates such crimes to
safeguard a particularly vulnerable population from scams, said Assistant
Special Agent in Charge Paul Roberts, who leads FBI New York’s Complex
Financial Crimes Branch.
“Timeshare
fraudsters aim to suck their victims dry, with devastating consequences to
victims’ financial futures, relationships, and physical and emotional health,”
he said.
