Some cold callers go the extra mile in telling incredible stories to consumers. One of these cold callers is Omega Capital Limited.
This company contacts Timeshare consumers who have been duped in the past by bogus resale companies who took a deposit for a guaranteed sale and then disappeared.
As per Omega Capital, the result of Operation Storm, the police raid on the Costa del Sol in 2015, is that the companies raided had all their bank accounts blocked.
Many accounts were outside Spain and some even as far as in Estonia.
The police and the judge (all this as per Omega Capital) have now traced the victims of all the amounts seized in those foreign accounts and Omega Capital is contacting them to get a refund sorted plus a substantial amount in compensation.
But to get this money back plus compensation, the consumer/victim needs to pay Court fees.
Omega Capital Limited explains that legally court cost have to be returned to the consumer and are always added to the final amount released back.
So if the court is scheduled to release 35.000€. The court costs relating to the case of the consumer is 1200€, and this will be paid back.
As soon as the consumer pays the 1200 euros, the money will be released in 2 days.
Sounds great!
To back all this up, a “British Liaison Officer” contacts the victim after the initial call from Omega Capital Ltd, and attaches to an email all kinds of official looking documents in Estonian.
Contact details for Omega Capital Ltd are Telephone number 0843 2890 276
There is a company registered at the Companies house under this name, but we have not been able to establish that this company is the one that cold calls and it looks like this company name is used by people who have nothing to do with the registered one.
If somebody has approached you from Omega Capital using phone number 08432890276 or any other company claiming there is money waiting for you in Estonia, then please do let us know!

No but I did receive a call earlier today from a Michael Thomas who claimed to be ringing from H M Customs and Excise in this country claiming that he had received the sum of £10350 on my behalf from the Spanish courts but he could not release it to me until clearance has been received from a Notary by the name of James Turner and I should call him on 0034602406215 and ask him to authorise the payment as it would lapse after 5 days
On ringing James Turner he had my details and claimed that it was the result of the Spanish Courts and Greenges Ltd who had ceased to trade or gone bust
He claimed that I had paid £850 to Greenges for action taken against my Timeshare owner in Malta, Island Residence Club and the payment had not been sent to the Courts by Greenges
Now I never did send Greengages a payment and I still have the documentation from them in my files which requested a payment of £850 and this correspondence was dated 18th May 2011
James Turner then said that if I paid the £850 (again !!!) then the £10,350 could be released to but I said that I could afford such an amount and that I was not prepared to charge it on a Credit Card as I had been scammed 3 times previously and I believed that that this was another Scam he hung up straight away
The original caller Michael Thomas said he would ring back in 30 minutes to see what I had decided with James Turner but I did not receive a follow up call. SURPRISE SURPRISE I do not think
I know Greenges has been raised with you previously so thought that you might be interested in this development
Best Wishes
