Victim Location 55904
Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
My parents in MN were contacted by phone to sell their Mexican timeshare to buyers. The offer was 4 times what the timeshare was worth ($350k). This scam went on for many months, with multiple phone calls, and were very nice and convincing over the phone. Apparently, there was a signed contract and all they needed to do was wire pay all the taxes beforehand down at CitiBank ($32K).
I went to their office in Boulder, CO to find out the co-working space they were using as their address was a total fake. The co-working space had never heard of the company or anyone who works there (Robert Hill is the scammers "name").
I called the FBI and local police, they won’t do anything because "it’s not necessarily illegal to ask people to send them money".
What a joke. Don’t be fooled.
