We received a telephone call from Ann Gigliotti representing Swiss American Bank, we got an appraisal on our Florida timeshare unit and we are in the process of mailing copies out to Swiss American Bank, Ins. in Nassau. I think after getting into this site that we have been had, is there anything that we can do? I have been trying to dtelepjopne (242) 351-4991, but get a recording telling me there is no one to answer the phone, has anyone gotten a response from this number???

>>We were also approached by telephone by someone saying they were from Swiss American Bank and that they were interested in buying our timeshare in Florida. They asked that we get an "appraisal" on the property before they would send us an "option to buy". When the "appraiser" contacted us by telephone, she wanted our credit card number to pay for said "appraisal" She said they would not accept a check "That's the way we do business". We reported the incident to the National Fraud Information Center in Washington, D.C. -- http://www.fraud.org.
