Dear Member



Over the past eight to twelve months rumors have circulated via the internet and other sources as to the state of Chateau World Resort/Banff Gate Mountain Lodge & Spa. Foreclosure, bankruptcy, RCI freeze and disaffiliation, loss of units and the land they occupy, etc; unfortunately we have found out that those rumors are all true.



As fellow investors in the program and serving all of you for many years in the member services department, we have devised a plan to regain control of the buildings, the land and save your investment.



You, the member will have 100% control. You, the member will create your own club which will not include the former developer or controller of Chateau World, Royal Club International, Royal Crown Resorts, Properties International or Global Resort Management.



For more information please respond to this email with a telephone number and best time to call you.



Regards

Helen & Annette

no, you can not "lean" against your shares, well, i suppose you could put them against the wall, and then lean on them...

As far as putting a lien on your investment, if it is in stocks, or whatever, i would talk with your broker first. who sent you the email? who is Helen and Annette? with the wording, it screams scam. might be a phishing email.

I've known them for about 8 years they manage the resort and
are shareholders as well.I'll be speaking to them today on a conference call with 2 of my friends who also have a vested interest.

I might of read it in Investing 101, if you buy a companies shares and it kicks the bucket, you just lost your entire investment. Since you mentioned/appears that your a private investor, the best outlook you can expect is the start up of a new resort with the previous management, although I'd say that's optimistic thinking.
Pretty assholish of me to say this, however I have no idea why you invested in this or anything for that matter, if you're not aware that your money is at stake.
Never gamble with anything you're not willing to lose

It's not that i'am going to be financially ruined it was just kick in the nuts.I figured Canmore would've been a good investment.
I should've cashed in 2 years ago when it doubled.Oh well.
