Cambridge Authorities Set Sights on Elite Escrow Management
The Cambridge Police Department is warning consumers against a supposedly local company due to allegations of fraud and breach of contract duties.
The Cambridge PD’s Electronics Crime Unit is currently investigating Elite Escrow Management, a timeshare closing business, after receiving numerous complaints from local residents. The company reportedly asks for an advance credit card payment to close timeshare deals. However, owners allege that after making such a payment, their assets remain unsold and they are no longer contacted by the company.
Upon investigation, authorities discovered that the city issued no permit, nor has any business record of Elite Escrow. Detectives sent to the company’s address, listed as 485 Massachusetts Avenue, found no such business operating there.
In addition, the company’s contact number has an area code of 617, supposed to be from Boston. However, the Electronic Crimes Unit has determined the number to be a Voice Over IP/Internet (VOIP) phone, suspected to originate in Mexico.
According to police, Elite Escrow Management operates several websites as part of its cover, which are:
- Luxuryresortresale.com
- Prestigepropertyconsultance.com
- Internationalresortresale.com
- Prestigepropertyconsultacy.com
- Prestigepropertyconsultancy.com
- Premiumluxurynetwork.com
The Cambridge Consumer Council is warning timeshare owners and members from transacting with the company or any of its websites. The city’s police authorities, meanwhile, continue to compile complaints from its jurisdiction. The department’s Electronic Crimes Unit is said to be hot on the trail of the people involved in the alleged scam.

Genetlemen _ I have been scammed by this company and would be happy to assist you in any way to put these people out of business
I too have been scammed by this group of companies. I’m based in Canada, so the problem is beyond the boarders of the US.
Gentlemen: I was approached by this company from their “Main office in Boston”. When I saw their phone nr. from Mexico City, they said they have also a branch there. As said before this organization works beyond borders
la gente esta tiene sede en veracruz yo tengo una tarjeta de elector del supuesto jefe deben de tener contactos dentro de estas cadenas de tiempo compartido si no como sacan toda tu informacion saben de tu membresia
I want to give some additional info to eliminate these fraudulent companies and put their managers/owners in jail.
They have the following companies /or names that do all the same scamming:
1. International Resort Resale . They say their offices are in Boston, Mass. But who knows.
Tels: 617-2492077 USA and 555-3504-765 (might be from Mexico City)
http://www.internationalresortresale.com (this site has only a front page and that’s it, no address, no phones).
They have a possible call center in Cancun, Mexico from where they do the some of the calls to US and to mexican prospectiv clients.
They get our phones and timeshare info from a database probably from somebody who works in RCI.
2. Other company names they use:
a. Luxury Resort Resale.com
b. Elite Escrow Management.com
c. Premium Luxury Network.com
d. True Vacation Services
e. Timesharelink
f.
3. The scamming technique is:
They call you saying that they can find you a client for your timeshare. If interested, then they send you a format. After some days they say they have a client interested in your timeshare. Then they ask you to send around $US 2,500.00 to start the paperwork. Then they ask for more…
If you send the money you will never hear from them.
4. I found via internet that 2 Detectives from Boston are behind that case: Det. Brian O´Connor (617-349-9307) and Carter Wells (617-349-3282).
5. Another company that does similar, but more sophisticated cheating is “Raintree Vacation Club”. They sell time sharing plans for 20 years with upfront payments. First years they provide excellent service, but after some years of use, they start treating clients bad, like generating difficulties to make a reservation, finally giving them units with terrible maintenance. After complaining the user decides to quit using the timesharing, not paying the annual fees. Then Raitree appropriates the unit and SELLS IT AGAIN!
Please forward this information to whom may be interested to put all these thieves in jail.
sincerely
