We were called at home with an inquiry as to whether we’d like to sell some timeshares in Mexico. We agreed to the negotiations. After having sent validation of the timeshares, we were told that we needed to pay some govt. taxes to MX. We initially agreed to pay these taxes as we were verbally guaranteed that we would be reimbursed. I stated that I wanted a letter from the above mentioned company that there would be no more fees to complete the deal. I rec’d. that letter. I THEN rec’d. another letter for another fee. I said "no." Today, I rec’d a threatening letter called a "Breach of Contract & Cancellation." It stated that if the last fee was not paid, I’d get none of my past monies retuned. Beware…they’re good!!! All communiques from them looked legit. They have multiple people working you…kinda like a car salesman.
I filed a report with Indiana Attorney General’s office. Please do the same. Perhaps if enough people complain, there will be an investigation.
I also contacted FBI and FTC.

I received an unsolicited call from an Indiana phone number and the women on the phone identified herself as being with The Solution Services. She said they are looking to purchase our Unlimited Vacation club from us and asked a few basic questions. 1. How many weeks we owned. 2. How many points. 3. What was our annual maintenance fee. Even after I told her we don’t have weeks or points nor do we have a maintenance fee she seemed undeterred. I told her to send me the information and when I received it I checked the ScamPulse.com to find as I suspected that this is a scam.

offered to buy my timeshare in Mexico, sent a letter via email with purchase price of $39,200.00
as soon as I received this I looked them up online and saw the ScamPulse.com report of it most likely being a scam so did not engage any further with them, therefore no money lost. Thanks for having that info available on your website.

Contacted me by phone and later by e-mail, claiming that they have a buyer for my membership in a resort company in Mexico. They offered me a price that was unreasonably high, and then increased it (without my asking for it). Sent me a contract to sign that mentioned the necessity to pay a transaction fee to the "Mexican government" (around $4,100) to be later reimbursed by the buyer. There was also a 5% "finders " fee, and 10% of penalty for "contract breach" (which would amount to $7,800). I refused to sign this contract and asked not to be contacted again, but they appear to be unwilling to let go of a potential victim so easily, and tried to contact me a moment later. No rational person would believe this to be legitimate.
