Yes, the "offer" you reference is indeed a scam.
1. No one on Planet Earth is going to pay you (or pay anyone else) $25k for a Mexican RTU contract, when there are plenty of them available for peanuts any day of the week from people who have such RTU contracts and (like you) now want to be out of them.
2. If that "commision" was legitimate (..it's not), it could simply be taken from the (non-existent) transaction funds at closing. This alleged "commission" is just a ruse to get you to pay money upfront out of your own pocket. If you unwisely did that, the "deal" would then go up in smoke for some bogus, contrived reason and you would never see that "commission" money again. Poof!
3. Don't do it! Don't let greed cloud you judgement here. If you do, you will only learn an expensive lesson; one that can still be avoided by not getting blinded by those big dollar signs now in your eyes --- over a "deal" that does not even actually exist.
Forewarned is forearmed...
