Anyone have experience with Luxury Resorts Resale? (by R P.):

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
Kudos to you for doing your homework and investigation .... I wish all timeshare owners would do the same when they're thinking of selling their timeshare or from someone claiming they can get you out from under your timeshare obligations .... they're all scams.
