They and their partner 'escrow company' took me for $20,000. This scammer sounds legitimate at first with legal sounding documents and guarantees. They request you pay the transfer fee, government taxes, settlement fee and broker fee all of which you be reimbursed by the buyer until you realize you have spent more money than the actual return, but you believe you will be fully reimbursed by the buyer, so you go along. Then there is a surprise, the 'government' requires another tax we did not anticipate. They keep the 'carrot' of promising an imminent settlement by saying just pay this tax/fee and then we can settle in three days after the wire transfer clears. However, there is no settlement and your wired money to Mexico is not recoverable. As they say, if an offer is too good to be true then it is a scam.
