  In late December 2021, I received a call from 315 Consulting saying they had a client who wanted to purchase my membership at Palace Resorts in ******. They sent an offer, I countered and it was accepted. I then started working with ******************* (x1003). He said that the client would put money in an escrow account in my name, to prove that the funds were available, and sent me statements from the bank in ******. On 2/10/22, he asked for a wire transfer of $5,703 for "closing costs", which would be reimbursed to me via the bank account when the transaction was completed. On 3/17/22, he said I had to pay $16,518 in "transfer expenses", which were also added to the bank account. On 4/19/22, I sent another $4,347 to cover the 5% commission for ****. When the transaction was "complete", he said the I would be sent a certified check for the total of the sale price and reimbursement of the money I'd wired. **** then told me that the certified check was intercepted by ****** Customs and they were insisting that I pay $12,000 to release the check. I said that I would not and that I wanted to cancel the transaction and get my money back. **** pointed out the contract I signed made me responsible for $4,000 if I cancelled the deal. He said that I had to pay the $4,000 before they could release my refund. I told them to take the $4,000 out of my funds and he said they could not. ******************* (?) contacted me on 3/14/23 because he "wanted to get this cleared up because the bank wants to release the money". Again, I told him to cancel the sale and send my money back. He told me that the reason the check was intercepted in ****** Customs is that the check was for $116,000 and the accompanying paperwork had the wrong amount on it, about $86,000. I told him that if one of their agents wrote the wrong amount on the paperwork, it was their fault and they should pay the $12,000. He says they cannot do that because the money has to come from me. The total refund should be $26,568.

  More info

  The above company contacted us, to sell our timeshare. After numerous wires, and promises to send funds. They have not delivered documents, proof of wires initiated to my attention, or a reason why the funds are not being wired.This company has fed me with every reason to send them additional funds in order to close, including customs fees, and escrow fees from the Bank in ******. *******************, ************************, and ************************ have all communicated that the problems they encountered they had never encountered until our transaction. The final wire as a bank fee to the escrow agent to release funds was received on July 6, 2022. This company has stopped replying to emails and phone calls. I have several emails and documents showing the parties' involvement and empty promises. They have no intentions of closing my file, they should return all the amounts of money advanced for this transaction, since they are in communication with al the parties involved.The entire process smells of fraud and deception. Attached are the relevant documents and some wire confirmations of the money sent to close this transaction in the sale of the TImeshare. Approximately $58,000.00 is the pay-out we are to receive, and approximately $13,037.00 is the amount we paid out.
