Timeshare Scams - £9m timeshare scams - Scot accused is on the run

A Scot accused of running a 9million timeshare scam is on the run in Spain.

Police are hunting Edinburghborn Richard Bain after he failed to appear in court in Malaga on fraud charges on May 9. Bain, 46, is linked to Toni Muldoon who faces more than four years in jail over the racket which fleeced cash from people with unwanted Costa del Sol properties.

Bain was previously arrested in the UK on charges of theft and fraud under the name Richard Thompson. He is alleged to have conned timeshare victims in Spain by offering legal assistance to recoup their losses but then disappeared with their cash.

Lawyer Antonio Flores, who represents 160 British claimants, said: "This was a multimillion pound scam." Timeshare owners were conned into paying upfront fees of around s1200 for selling their Fuengirolabased companies linked to Muldoon between 2001 and 2006.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Bain, Muldoon's wife and five others. One rippedoff Scot from Balerno, Midlothian, said: "They got me the first time. It was quite an operation. You could hear a lot of phones going off in the background." At Monday's court hearing in Malaga, 10 gang members were given suspended sentences of up to two years.

Six people, including Muldoon, pleaded guilty to fraud while four admitted charges of illicit association. The court ordered that £438,000 defrauded from 300 Scottish and English claimants be paid back. Bain's firm, Conectese was also reportedly not registered with Spanish authorities.

Timeshare Scams - TEN people have been convicted by a Malaga Court

TEN people have been convicted by a Malaga Court for one of the biggest timeshare scams in Spanish history which earned them up to €3,000,000 from victims in the UK, France and Germany. A lawyer representing 159 of the victims explained that an agreement had been reached with the public prosecutor by which six of the accused are sentenced to two years each in prison for continued fraud, and four of them to one year each in prison for illegal association.

None of them will see the inside of a cell, but they will have to pay fines of between €1,080 and €1,440, as well as a civil responsibility payment of €500,000 to the victims.

Eighteen people were initially charged in the case, but one has died and the other seven are in contempt of court.

Although only 300 people are claiming responsibilities from the 13 people of different nationalities who operated from Fuengirola, there are believed to be many more victims of the scam.

As the amounts they paid were relatively small, around €1,200, many people have not reported the crime.

Under the protection of a real company, but using a false name and lists with names of timeshare owners, they would call them offering to help them sell their timeshare property for an excellent price, claiming to have a buyer.

To do so, they first requested money from the clients and sent them documents which made everything appear legal, later giving them excuses for why they hadn’t received their money.

The scam, which began in 2000, was set up by a British couple and a South African who has since died. They allegedly changed the location and details of the company every so often to avoid being caught.
