BBB alert

YOUNGSTOWN

The Better Business Bureau of the Mahoning Valley is alerting consumers to a problem business using the address of a legitimate business in Youngstown.

DCM Resort Properties LLC has been contacting consumers across the country who currently have timeshares for sale. DCM Resort Properties LLC has been soliciting timeshare owners by mail, phone or email and offering to purchase their timeshare for significantly more than what the timeshare is actually worth.

The website for DCM Resort Properties LLC, dcmresortpropertiesllc.com, displays the address of 721 Boardman-Poland Road. This address is the location of the legitimate DCM Resort Properties LLC and Handel Investments LLC; both entities are managed by David Handel.

BBB was notified by the legal counsel representing both DCM Resort Properties LLC and Handel Investments LLC that neither entity buys or sells timeshares.
