Type of a scam Investment

My father was trying to sell an international membership he no longer wanted, this company supposedly works with Mexico, so my dad hired them to help him out, and sell his membership he no longer wanted, at first they only requested two fees that he paid one for $1,500.00 dollars and another for $1,689.00 dollars which at this point he didn’t think nothing was wrong sometimes you pay fees before getting your full investment. Then they said the Mexico government did an audit and they requested $4,200.00 dollars as some other fee and telling him you pay and you will have your money that following Monday, the offer was for $31,000.00 dollars. Comes Monday no money is in the account and he receives another email saying he needs to pay a final fee of $6,060.00 dollars and this time his money would definitely be in his account so my father complied because they told his his under contract and he has to comply, so he pays and comes the following Monday and still no money is in his account. At this point he has already paid about $13,000 dollars of "fees" that suddenly came up because of the audit; that’s there excuse and they request again from him $7,974.00 for him to pay and they guarantee his money will be there within the next business day. Well at this point my dad contact me and I’m doing research and the website is just sketchy, his talked too at least 6 different people and received email not from the same person always someone else as the "CEO or manager". His broker has been calling and harassing him that he needs to get the money of he’ll have a breach of contract and will go to court, but my father already wasted all his saving trying to comply just to sell his investment but at this point he no longer trusts them and now his left with no money and $13,000 dollars that are stolen from him and this company keeps asking for him to pay the fee or to cancel and pay that fee but his not sure if he pays the cancellation fee, he would receive his money back and that would me $3,500.00 more they would take from him and never seeing none of his money back. He might just let the money go and realize that he lost his money but I want to make sure this company is investigated and researched because we don’t want anyone else going through with something like this and loosing a lot of money. The last person I spoke to her name was Monica and she was from "legal" yet she did not know how to speak English and nothing wrong with that but if your company works internationally like it stated you would expect to work with a bilingual person at least. This all just feels wrong and it’s sad that there’s people out here scamming people for money and getting away with it. My father has no more money so he can’t even get a lawyer so I’m sure his just letting it go but I want to put this complaint out here so others can be aware of companies that do these types of scams or whatever it’s called, thank you!
