I first in early June around the 3rd received a call from Bob Tracy saying he has buyers looking for Mayan Palace timeshares. He knew I had a timeshare with the Mayan and asked a lot of questions and then said it was worth approximately $ 57000. I was to send a copy of the title with our names on it so he could do a title search of it. A week later he called and said it was worth 57000 and would be in touch. After the sale I would send them 8% for fees.
Around the 16 of June Kevin Alexander stared calling he was the escrow agent. He had many people Farmers and business people looking for conference meeting places. If I wanted to sell my timeshare I needed to pay 10% transfer fee in my name to Mexico and their man would do all the dealing in Mexico as he knew the ropes and it would be quick. The buyer is going to reimburse all this 10% which is in the escrow account. So I wired 5780 USD to Mexico on June 23 see attached. I would receive my sale money on July 13.
Then I get told I was red flagged as Mexico has a 18% taxes fee which they normally wave but because they have so many timeshare deals (17 is what he told me) he said they wanted this tax paid and it had to be from me but the buyer would reimburse. They already had the money in the escrow account which they sent me a confirmation.
I said I had no more money and I wanted my money back. They sent all the forms. I wanted to see a business license which they sent and I said I wanted to speak with my lawyer. They didn’t even quiver about any of this.
Then Bob Tracy called me and said his boss said they would pay 6000 of the fee and all I had to pay was another 4000. So I wired 4000USD to a different account in Mexico on July 7. See attached. I would still receive my money by July 13.
I was in contact with Kevin Alexander and his secretary Yvonne by phone and email and Kevin was out doing all the business transactions and the courier would be bringing my cheque, all was good.
Until Friday July 15. When I had no new emails I started calling and first it was ringing busy and then one of the numbers said it was no longer in service and then all the #’s were no longer in service and I had no money.
