>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.
