I was contacted about selling my timeshare.. sent me an email about purchase, then told me he was out of the country and so was his broker. He would send me a cashiers check for $2900 and would I deposit the funds and send his broker a check for $2400 and the other $500 was a deposit on the property.
Got the check in the mail, call the credit union and was informed that it was a scam.

I was contacted by "Fredrick Asmussen" and his broker "Alvin Ranit" as well. Scam was to buy my timeshare for 85% of asking price, send me a check for $2,900, I would keep $500 in Earnest money, but wire the remaining $2,400 to some guy in Egypt (3rd name) to pay for title transfer process. Check is FAKE, if you wire the money, you lose. Here is a copy of the e-mail I received from Alvin:
Sorry for my delay in getting in touch with you as I have been away from home and just had access to my email. I was instructed to contact you by my client Mr Fredrick Asmussen to arrange the sale and transfer procedures for your timeshare. I am informed that the agreed sales price for your timeshare is 31,000 dollars. Mr Asmussen has also informed me that an initial deposit of 500 dollars is already on its way to you along with my fees of 2,400 dollars as soon as funds are deposited and available.
Please note that we shall be making use of First American title transfer company which is a national title transfer company with licence to effect title transfer in all states. The process which I shall be undertaking is explained clearly in 7 steps as below
1- As soon as I get my fees, I will contact First American title to begin the process. When I pay the title transfer and escrow costs, we will be issued with a title transfer agent or contact person who will handle the process. I will provide the contact information of that person so you can be in touch with him or her if you like.
2- Broker(Alvin Ranit) initiates the closing process with First American title by completing simple online forms.
3- Buyer and seller receives an email from First American title (with username and password) requesting that he or she complete the online buyer and seller forms for the timeshare details and verify information.
4- Seller and buyer receive an email that includes the escrow number.
5- First American title prepares and emails escrow instructions, the transfer deed and closing documents ... -

I have contacted the local authorities and opened a case with the FBI. Doubt anything will come of it, but... If someone asks you to wire money to someone you don't know or have never met -- SCAM!!! Check will bounce and you will be responsible. BEWARE!!! -

I should also mention that these people write e-mails in very well written English and speak of using First American, a legitimate agency to transfer your timeshare title, and are quick to absorb all title/transfer costs. The check they send is from TruWest Credit Union, also a legitimate institution in (I think) Arizona. The post mark that they sent the check was from Portland, OR; I have heard other people getting checks postmarked from Salem, OR. The biggest clue that this is a scam is that they want you to WIRE money for them -- (why can't "Fredrick" do this himself??)... They send you a bad check -- which you won't find out it's bad until weeks or months after you have deposited it, then ask you to wire money to a stranger. Wiring money to people is like giving cash out - it is virtually untraceable and should ONLY be used to send money to people that you know. After receiving these funds, you will never hear from them again, the check will bounce, and you will have wired $2,400 (or whatever sum) to them and you will not get it back. Not to mention, you will still be stuck with your timeshare. The contact they wanted me to wire money to them is the following:
Stephen Nwankwo
10 Mohamed Mokaled St.
Nasr City, Cairo
Egypt
Good luck and I hope this helps someone... -
