You need to fill in a blank here. Did this call or e-mail promise you big bucks for the sale of your timeshare? If so, then this is a scam.
As well, these people asking you to pay a "foreign investment permit", how are they asking you to pay them?
I have never heard of a legitimate Mexican Government "foreign investment permit" except in a scam. What the scam artists do is tell you that they can sell your (worthless) Mexican timeshare for big bucks but the Mexican Government requires that the seller (in this case, you) pay for this permit before the sale can be finalized and before these people can send you the cashier's check. This, of course, is a scam!
