I was originally contacted around the Christm[censored]idays by an Eleanor Marcus, Senior Broker with Realty LLC in New York, asking about our timeshare and if we were interested in selling. She had a buyer for just that type of resort. I put off following up until New Years and then sent her our Vidanta resort information regarding type and details of our ownership. She came back with an offer of $51,500 and a buyer that was anxious to open an escrow account at Citibanamex and would deposit the full amount to be held until closing with my husband and me as beneficiaries. She sent us a contract that showed the buyer was to deposit the money plus pay the Mexican IVA tax of 15% ($8240). We filled out the forms and with a copy of both driver's licenses returned them so the account could be opened in trust in our names. She assisted me in a call to the Citibanamex escrow division to verify the deposit was made by buyer. Our responsibility was to pay $6099 to register with the Sec. of Econ. and the SAT (Servicio de Administracion Tributaria) to be able to do business in Mexico as a foreigner. We paid our money by wire transfer, as instructed, on Friday, January 14, 2022.

One week later, Thursday, January 27, we receive a bill by email from the Mexican government SAT division for $15,450 in Spanish with no English translation. When I called the broker she said there should have been a translated version (which she later sent) but it seemed President Andres Obrador of Mexico decide to follow his campaign promise and raise the touristic tax effective immediately. We had three days to wire the additional funds to the SAT. We had to get to the bank first thing Friday morning and transfer the funds. We would receive confirmation first thing Monday, January 31. The good news was that the escrow account would be transferred to us that very day. We didn't have to wait until the 4th to close. We refused to send the money. We were threatened with breach of contract and the fine would be almost as much as the SAT we refused to pay.

We received a cancellation of contract with the demand to pay $4398 and $8240 for a total of $12,638. We refused to pay that, as well. I have not heard from them since that Friday. The contract and the cancellation state that we will keep confidential any information that is not already public and we are bound by the laws of New York state. Following are the names we have but they obviously not be real. Armando Garza Sada, buyer, and Joseph F. Bower, Corporate Authority, also signed our initial contract. Realtor is Eleanor Marcus; Dana M. Lynch is the Financial Department (917-970-0769) and a Daniel Robbins explained how the original process would go.

Alan Stevens called me. He had information about my Vidanta ownership. After an initial discussion, he emailed me a Letter of Intent/Offer to Purchase with an unusually high offer price, and suggested that I counter-offer with an even higher price. He said he had corporate buyers who are willing to pay such a high price for double tax write-offs. In addition to a signed Letter of Intent, he requested a voided copy of the cover sheet of my Vidanta contract. I told him that my attorney expressed concerns about the transaction process, most importantly that the sale proceeds would be held in a trust account in Mexico. He said he was willing to talk to my attorney, but that it was not possible to make alternative escrow arrangements with a US escrow agent. Given that I couldn't find any information about Realtors LLC on the ScamPulse.com website EXCEPT in the Scam section, I terminated my interaction.

We were approached to sell our Mexican time share. After we committed we had to pay 13% tourist tax and then customs tax and then after opening a bank account in citibanamex we were told in order to release the funds we had to pay collateral fee.

Alan Stevens contacted me, by phone wanting to buy a timeshare in Mexico. He offered me a lot of money, but I wanted to check things out. I went to their website and it only has a frontal page, with no information past the front page. I checked the ScamPulse.com website and there is an office in Connecticut and I email them to see if they knew anything about this company, waiting to hear back. I told Steven that I wanted to work with a local title company and he said that is what they do. Wants to hurry to close the deal.

He called saying he wanted to purchase my vacation membership. Sent contracts, etc.

We were suspicious, and started to look up the company and him on facebook, linkedin and google. No mention at all.

Please don't be fooled by their charm and paperwork. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I wish I could report them to the police, but they are invisible.
