Anyone have experience with Luxury Resorts Resale? (by Sandra G.):
I have experience with a company by another name, but it sounds very much like your description with Luxury Resorts Resale. The company told me they have a buyer in Mexico and the buyer's money is in escrow in MX. They are asking for a Mexican sales tax to be sent before releasing the funds from the bank. A rep "from the bank" phoned me today and I also received a letter "from the bank" looking official, along with a bill for the tax, looking like an official government form. I'm glad I read your letter, as I have heard the same companies keep changing names and moving around. I did a trace on 1 phone call and it was from what I call a "phone mill" which the trace said is VOLP and used by telemarketers, collection companies,etc. When I call the agent's number on his stationery, I get a phone message from the female voice who first contacted me, then I was told she is no longer at that office. The business is not licensed in CA where they claim to be. I haven't lost any money-just time so probably don't have grounds for any complaint. We have to stay alert in this current dangerous area of fraud. Concerned Timeshare owner
