Description
10/19/2023 - $6370 wire transfer to BBVA Mexico Bank in Mexico. 11/06/2023 - $19910 wire transfer to BBVA Mexico Bank in Mexico. We thought we were selling a Vidanta Timeshare in Mexico called Deluxxe at the Grand Mayan for $127,400. The first fee was to register a tax ID number with Mexico. The second transfer was a security bond as there had been identified fraud through wire transfers to Mexico in the past. The government was holding back payment and agreed to the huge security bond in order to release the funds to us. Then a request was made for a further payment which we have refused to do since I contacted Vidanta and discovered that this was a total fraud. The agent, Jason Roberts, was very convincing.
