Hello all, I would love some help from this great community to let me know if this is a scam.
I received a phone call about selling time-share(suspicious?). We have been going back and forth about paper work for three weeks, here are my pros and cons:
CONS
- they want money up front to cover state tax in Mexico, they say no way around it
-price seems very, very good. They say buyer is making very large purchase of multiple units, get more than 50% back from taxes(that's what they do, they right it off)
PROS
-both the real estate, and trust company I've been talking with exist. I searched the Georgia business directory, and both companies are there with correct phone numbers.
-I've talked to 8-10 people over a three week period, seems like a lot of work for minimal pay-off if it's a scam.
Am I wrong in thinking that since these are seemingly legitimate businesses, that this isn't a scam?
Would existing, licensed businesses run a scam like this?
Is there a legit reason for me to NEED to send money?
Thanks for any help, I'm a very trusting person by nature, and all input would be great. I'm leaning towards about a 80% chance of legit based primarily on my two pros. Let me know if that is a stupid assumption on my part, and there are ways around that which I don't know about.
