Re: Re: Crown International Group Florida - Timeshare Purchase Offer Legitimacy? (by Robert & Michele H.):
Mary: You can try to recover the $6,000 paid by contacting your credit card company and indicating you received nothing for the charge. If you sent them a check or certified funds, it is unlikely you will ever get it back. Best thing to remember is, do not ever sent money to any organization involved with selling something you own until you have funds in your pocket.
If you cannot use your timeshare, try contacting your resort and explaining the circumstances. While they may not have buy back funds this year due to Covid and resulting lack of sales to other people, next year their economic climate might be better and they may show interest in selling your unit for you. However, don't give them any funds for selling it until you have your funds, or they are in escrow for you.

AND I DID. Now there saying in January 2021 Mexico has a new tax and only I can send $15,000. I told them take it out of the money in the trust but they say that illegal. Then they told me the buyer tried to pay it but it was returned because it has to come from me. It was to come from me only per Mexico law. Once it’s paid they will release the funds in the trust. I think I’ve been scanned. Please advise. There paper work “Sales Agreement” and title company used look legit but now I question this transaction. FYI my husband passed away and they said that’s ok. We don’t need his signature. Odd not even the death certificate. Please help
