Erick Ortiz claiming to be with Adventure Travel Consulting, Inc. in Saint Croix Falls, WI called me on October 3, 2019 with an offer to purchase my timeshare in Mexico (Mayan Palace), claiming he has a Mexican investor wanting to purchase many timeshare units. Contract is written and signed. Escrow is set up with David W. Finn at Wynridge Escrow Services, Inc. in Milwaukee WI. Mr. Finn sent me a copy of a statement from Citibanamex, a bank in Mexico City, showing funds that were supposedly deposited by the buyer. We are ready to receive our funds and at the last minute. Mr. Finn informed me the money is all there but the money cannot be disbursed because the Mexican government is asking for a Foreign Investor Registration fee of $4,100 to be paid by the buyer before Mexico will release the funds. I need to pay up front and the $4,100 will be reimbursed when escrow closes — new contract is written with the appropriate changes. I wired the $4,100 to pay the fee – paid to the Escrow Company. I get a wire confirmation with Citibanamex logo on it stating the funds are being wired to my account. Five days later, Mr. Finn claims the Mexican government will not release the funds until the VAT is paid in full – this time for $6,800. I start digging into this matter a little deeper. I gather all the names that are associated with these two companies and I run background checks. Not a single result out of 12 different people. I then locate the management companies that lease out the locations they claim to occupy. The management company tell me these companies are not tenants at those addresses. I have multiple documents, phone numbers and email address upon request.

This is exactly what we have experienced. In October 2019 we were contacted by Adventure Travel Consulting, Inc giving us an offer for our timeshare at Grand Mayan. Later we were contacted by David W. Finn at Wynridge Escrow Services. We have paid various amounts about dollars 24,000 and all the time we were nearly there ready to receive our funds, but then another fee came up to prevent the release of our Money. At last we were asked to pay VAT of dollars 6,800 and this is where we stopped. Last night Mr. Finn called and as it was rather inconvenient, I asked him to call back in half an hour’s time. He didn’t.
So here we are with a loss – we suppose of dollars 24,000.
We are based in Denmark.
