Offered 48,000 for my two weeks at Sandos resort.... how I could have proof that the money is in escrow... I'm still a little unsure of what the exact scam is?

Nobody is paying $48000 for Mexican resorts. That's the scam artists' line to paralyze you with excitement and stop you from thinking rationally.

"Escrow" is a recent twist in these scams. The idea behind genuine escrow is for money to be held by a third party (not involved in the transaction) and then released to the rightful owner when the issue or sale is resolved. If you send VI the money, it's not going to a third party and, therefore, not into escrow. It's going into the scam artists' coffers.

So the scam is to blind you to any suspicious-sounding fees and just blindly hand over your money or credit card number while you sit back and wait for the sale to happen and $48000-check to arrive ... and wait ... and wait ... and wait...
