Description

I was contacted by Orchard Realty on the behalf of Grupo Carso to sell my timeshare property at the Royal Resorts in Cancun Mexico. Agent provided License Information as follows: Orchard Hill Realty: 109941595 William Andrews: 35AN0877261 Richard H Alexander: 35AL0549444 + Angel Garcia, Escrow Account Vel Between early September and mid-November, Orchard kept coming back with various fees and expenses that needed to be covered by the seller due to the complex rules of a non-Mexico resident selling property in Mexico. The contract was updated to reflect buyer reimbursement to the seller. Temporary Business Investor’s Permit: $4,000.00 USD Taxpayer Identification Number: $2,200.00 USD State Tax Fees: Reco$7,572.00 USD SAT RecordingFee: $5,800.000 USD When I expressed doubt of the legitimacy of the transaction, Orchard Realty representatives used very aggressive, threatening language that I'd be in breach of contract if I didn't wire the funds. Additional due diligence supported evidence of fraudulence.
