Have you had any success with this sale? I too was called out of the blue. I am wondering how do they get everyone's phone number. I have been dealing with this since June and it is about to close after one last wire transfer that I am not sure that I want to send. Apparently the Mexican Gov wants there piece of the pie and is charging sales tax and now excess income tax!?! Any one else heard of this?

Just this afternoon I was going over a contract to sell my Timeshare at The Reef Regency in Cozumel for a most attractive price with Bruce Davidson, my "Agent" from M & M Management Group. He had assured me several times the previous day that I would not have to come up with any monies prior to the closing. I repeatedly asked him about paragraph 6 which states "The owner agrees that interest on encumbrances, taxes, insurance, past due balances, ownership transfer fees and/or existing liens shall be paid by the Owner PRIOR to the time of the closing. He had told me several times that the purchasers had already deposited $3,960 to Premier Financial and Closing Services (Angel Sanchez), to cover these expenses. He danced around Robin Hood's Barn, causing me great confusion. Finally Bruce did admit that I would have to send to Premier $3,960 before the contract could close. You are so correct - SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!! Oh boy, I am still angry after 5 hours. I was really looking forward to that "windfall". Que sera, sera.kene78 wrote:It's smelling like a SCAM..... Out of the Blue, I received a call from a Brian A. Hall, (214) 736-9572 of M&M Mgmt. Group, in Dallas, Tx. wondering if we wanted to sell our Mayan "Palace" Timeshare in Mexico.... It sounded somewhat credible, as he stated that he worked for the Holiday Group. in Seattle, Wa. and was involved when we upgraded our Tahoe Seasons Resort property to the Mayan palace in 2006. He was also un aware that we had upgraded our 1 BR Mayan palace to a 2 BR Grand Mayan.... He said that he has a Corporation that wants to buy our unit as a tax writeoff. He initially offered $48,250... went up to $58,500 after he learned of the 2 BR... and now says that $64,000 is sitting in Escrow, with Pioneer Financial and Closing Services (Walter Bergman) Chicago, Ill. (312) 488-1878/1901 He offered us time to review the contract with our Lawyer, whomever...Everything has sounded to be on the up and up, but why would someone call us out of the blue? Also, give us that kind of money? They haven't asked for any monies yet, except for an 8% commission, whether it sells or not. Comments?
