Review 4/29/2011

My husband and I were contacted some time ago by this outfit, offering to include us in a class action suit against several companies who had offered to help us sell our timeshare. The legal work was to be done pro bono, but they wanted a retainer(!) of slightly over $700. We have a friend who is a lawyer and I asked his advice on this. We were told to steer clear of it. Any lawyer who is filing a class action suit would get his fee from the results of the suit - no win, no money. And never, never would a pro bono lawyer ask for money. That's contradictory! Pro bono means "for good", or for free.
They called a second time and my husband told them we were not interested in dealing with them, and hung up. The fellow immediately called back several times - once on our land line, once on my husband's cell phone, and then again on the land line. He left a VERY rude message, yelling at us for hanging up on them, saying that they were only trying to help us get our money back after "your own stupidity", and *demanding* that we return his call, which we never did.
I got a call again today from a much more polite young man (maybe the same guy, just nicer this time around), repeating much of this same information, and I asked him to send me the info via email and my husband and I would reveiw it. Again, it is put forward as a class action suit, and we are being asked for a retainer. I intend to tell him what we have decided, which is to not throw good money after bad.
