		<description>I have taken notice that in digital cameras, extraordinary receptors help to concentrate automatically. The particular sensors associated with some video cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others make use of a beam of infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lighting. Higher standards cameras from time to time use a combination of both methods and likely have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera can 'See' the face while keeping your focus only on that. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this blog.</description>

		<description>Dear Sirs:

Sometime in September of 2010, I was contacted by phone by Steven Price (888-3049982) to sell my timeshare. He was very nice, and very courteous. I was convinced he could help us. He told me that he would sell my timeshare for $20,695.00, that it would only be a one time payment of $2195.00, which left me $18,500, and would take 60-90 days because there was already a preapproved buyer for it. And when I paid by credit card, if the deal fell through, I would still get 10% of the selling price from the down payment  of the buyer of $2069.50 (AP620748).  If the buyer changed their mind and just backed out of the deal, I would receive 20% which is $4139.00 (AP620747) plus the 10% for a total of $6208.50. The transaction would be concluded by meeting at a notary no more than 15 miles from where I live in North Carolina to sign the legal documents. So I thought the deal would be concluded by Christmas of 2010. That’s great, or so I thought.

A few weeks later, and I can’t remember exactly when, I returned home one day to find a message on my answering machine informing me that Steven Price doesn’t work for your company any longer. It told me that Kevin Soto (888-301-6184) would be handling our transaction.  I called and of inquired the status of our business, he told me that there were just a few simple paperwork matters to take care of and that everything was on schedule. 


A few weeks after that, I called to check about the status of our business, and I received a call from a Mr. Joey Jenson (no number) telling me that it might take a little longer than expected because the buyer was not living in the U.S.  That’s when I started getting suspicious. 

Well Christmas came and went and sometime after the first of the year in 2011, again I called to check on the status. I received a call from a Mr. Eric Turner informing me that they were checking into the financial information of the buyer to verify the background information. At this point, I told myself that I’ve just lost $ 2195.00 and they were not going to sell my timeshare like they said. So, I’m out.

Well, some few weeks later, I received a call from a Mr. Shane Rodgers (888-407-2615) telling me that the information on the buyer would be completed with a conference call between himself, his upper management, and the buyer, on March 30, 2011. Does any of this sound familiar?

On April 4, 2011 my wife informed me that this company had charged another $1595.00 on my credit card on March 30, 2011.   I verified this myself because I did not believe it. IT WAS TRUE! This is stealing! I Broke down and was so angry that I called every phone number that I had for this company. When no return calls came, I cried. Why would they do business like this? Why was it legal for them to do business like this? 

My employer closed the facility where I worked and I have been unemployed for 2 years. I have returned to college only due to employment benefits. I have emphysema, and suffer from migraines due to a family inherited illness.  My wife works 6 and sometimes 7 days a week to pay our bills. My daughter will start college in the fall of 2011, only because she has worked part time for 3 years while in high school and the scholarships she has received.  Do you really know how it makes a father feel to have his 18 year old daughter earn more income than him? I can not afford to give you money 
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US? PLEASE STOP!</description>

		<description>Sorry...forgot to say:  his telephone numbers I could not verify, but look like internet cafe' numbers.  +44-7045-756-992, fax+44-7005-921-318, but the very first response we got from him was with phone number 07745621345.  I was so confused because he sounds real enough in that he didn't ask for money back &#38; he plans to actually see the house before the deal were to close, but there are too many things in his e-mails that sound fake.  His e-mail is mail.christopher77@yahoo.com</description>

		<description>Think I have a new one, although he hasn't asked for any money back.  Yet:

Good afternoon. I write to acknowledge the receipt of your email dated December 18, 2010. I sincerely apologize for not getting back to you sooner it was due to the Christmas holidays. After discussing with my wife, we have no choice than to consider your price of $238,000.00.this is due to our preference to your property.

 

I will be willing to proceed by first securing this property from other buyers. I intend to do so by issuing you a certified check deposit of $2,000.00 (Two thousand dollars) then sign a purchase agreement with you if necessary. I believe that will make you consider the property sold and stop all correspondents with other buyers.

 

In the near future, I will arrange for two property inspectors from the U.S to come and conduct a physical inspection on the property. Two weeks after the inspection, I will be coming myself to close the deal and make final payment (Bank to bank wire transfer)

 

I will be taking ownership of the property one week your bank confirms receipt of my payment. In conclusion, I will really be grateful to you if you can work with me in this business transaction.

I look forward to your soonest reply.

Yours truly,

Chris.</description>

		<description>Am i allowed to make a recommendation? I think you've got something great here. But imagine you included a number of links to a web page that backs up just what youre telling? Or possibly you could give us a little something to take a look at, something that would associate what youre declaring to one thing concrete? Just a suggestion.</description>
