Type of a scam Investment
These people contacted me via phone for about 6 months starting around end of summer 2017. In February 2018 I actually answered the phone and listened to their pitch. They told me they had a buyer interested in purchasing my property for several hundred thousands of dollars in Mexico. It took them pestering me for another month before they got me to sign an agreement asking to act as a sort of realtor. I was told I would pay no monies except for a 5% finders fee when the monies were in my bank account at close. Shortly after signing they came to me with some story about the Mexican government needed to verify that this was a real transaction and I needed to wire 3750.00, which like a dummy I did! I was extremely upset and I told this man that I would not send another dime and I wanted more money for my time share to make up for this headache. He said that would not be a problem. On May 8, 2018 they sent me another email asking for an additional 3420.00. I went ballistic and told them I was reporting them to the BBB, the Federal Trade Commission, and the FBI. Be wary of these people. It is a scam they contact you out of the blue with a promise of a sell, but before you know it you are sending them monies for said close to occur. DO NOT BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE!
