Type of a scam Other

Timeshare Purchase Scam. Male called, unsolicited, said he was with Property Management Plus, Inc. (CA) and his company was buying up timeshares in Mexico for gifting to its clients. He offered me a large amount of money ($37k+), but said i’d first need to pay state, local, and international taxes (in the double digits of thousands of dollars) via wire transfer. I wire transferred the money as instructed. Shortly thereafter, they said that I’d have to put money in an escrow acct with a company in AZ called Bendix. I wired more money. They asked for more money and more money, again and again, each time explaining different reasons I’d need to pay and always promising I’d receive my payment soon. I kept believing, paying. I’m out roughly $80,000. The addresses of these so-called companies are a virtual office and a send/ship business respectively.
