JKB Vacation Rentals 11616 Marbello Dr. Oklahoma City, OK 73173 Phone: 405-500-2454 or 2452) offered me $56,780.00 for a Vida Vacation Rental that I paid $10,000.00 for 2 years ago. It sounded suspicious to me. The address for JKB was a residence in Oklahoma City and the Mexican attorney office was a vacant lot, both checked on google earth. (Country Code was Brazil, strange for a attorney in Mexico City) I checked further with my real estate attorney in Cancun and this was his reply:
"Hi Kurt,
Aside of whom Grupo Gonzalez, a law firm versed in fiscal and accounting matters in MX City, and JKB, the buyer that presents you a contract with an address in Oklahoma but no other contact information, are; I really wonder on the Banorte´s format, “Solicitud de apertura de cuenta Kurt Eisinger”. This document indicates a Fideicomiso # and account #, same I wonder if you are acquainted with. Perhaps the fideicomiso # is that which corresponds to the resort where your timeshare is at.
Is the Master Trust in that resort held by Banorte as trustee?
This bank document seems strange, it indicates Ignacio Gonzalez, representing a corporation named Asevec, will represent you in the opening of a bank account in Banorte, where I suppose you´ll receive the sale price. However, the point is tourists cannot open bank accounts in MX, meaning a foreigner must first become Mexican resident to do so.
Further, in MX only the individual himself can open a bank account and besides the many documents and requirements that must be submitted and signatures registration, the bank´s branch manager must send all the paperwork for approval from a committee at the bank´s central offices, where they will determine if you can be considered as new client or not.
A Mexican bank will not open individual accounts to beneficiaries through 3rd parties.
In my view it is a scam and I agree with what you said: “…if a deal is too good to be true, it´s usually a fake.”
You should opt selling it as a resale through the same resort.
