We were contacted by internet/&phone from Escape with Travels (a website that helps search for deals) wanting to buy our Mexico timeshare. Their offer was much higher than what we paid for it. The reasoning was they could sell it day by day and make their money that way.
They assured us we would not have out of pocket costs, and that's why we agreed to sell. Of course that's not how it went. A Law office was involved( The Law Offices of Constance A Smith). Three banks were ultimately involved also. 1.) IBFC 2.) Scotiabank and 3.) Profeco.
The fees sited were mandatory taxes required by Mexico (standard practice....they said), then it was a title search, and something about capital gains." Of course" we would be reimbursed. ha. At this point I wanted to walk but my partner believed it all. They are Pros, they must know what ammount to offer that will hook people beyond common sense. These are very friendly people who have a response for every doubt/concern imagineable.
I can't believe it, but money was actually wired. I won't say we b/c I didn't want to do it.
I was offered a price to purchase my resort contract. I was required to pay the "resort" a closing fee per my contract. I was told to pay the Capital Gains Tax to Mexico, which I did.
I was then told the money would be wired to my bank account through IBFC Bank. Never happened even though I received verified forms to confirm the transfer.
Various Mexican agencies have communicated with me demanding money for actions to take place. I have heard from PROFECO, SAT, PGR and IBFC Bank in New York.
The attorney working for Escape With Travels, a Constance A Smith is a verified fruad. She deceived me and mislead me.
In the mean time I have wired funds to two different banks as required, no funds have yet to be sent to my account.
This transaction is a fake, a fraud and I have been scammed.

This is a Total Scam
Looks like I too fell for the same scam. Same banks and lawyer Constance Smith were involved. Ultimately, you get the runaround and lose money.
