Couple falls victim to scam
A couple sent an unknown sum of money to someone claiming to be a lawyer who offered to help the Morgan Hill residents sell their Nevada time share, police said.
The victim told police that a Las Vegas lawyer claiming to represent “American Vacation Solutions” called the residence on the zero block of Encino Drive, according to police reports.
The lawyer said he could sell their time share for a $5,000 profit, and he would send them paperwork to fill out, police said. The couple paid an undisclosed amount in transaction fees, but when they tried to call the lawyer back the phone number was disconnected.
The case was referred to authorities in Clark County, Nevada, police said.
