Mexico Advacate Group

Mexico Advocate Group – Another timeshare scam in a different costume. I have received several calls from companies claiming they have a buyer for my timeshare and they all seem to use the same routine. Now they have come up with a new scheme. This company claims “several million in cash and assets have been seized along with numerous arrests connected to timeshare fraud cases”. If they take my case, I need to part with $1,297 for filing fees and translation fees. This money will be held in a working trust account and is guaranteed to be returned within 12 months. “They have attorneys in place, and the funds and assets that have been confiscated are going to start being disbursed on September 1, 2012” If I don’t sign their contract, they want me to sign a “Waiver and Release Agreement” that relinquishes any and all rights to both current and future monies and assets seized in regards to timeshare fraud in Mexico. I received the call from Mr. Michael Weston and the papers are signed by Laura Davies. (Wow, a TV character and a Golf Pro) They list their office in Puerto de Hierro Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. The web page (mexicoadvocategroup.com) is registered to DIRECTI INTERNET SOLUTIONS PVT. LTD. D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM. 1102-1103,11/F,Kowloon Bldg.,555 Nathan Rd.,Mongkok,Kowloon, Hong Kong. Domain servers in listed order: ns1.resellerdns.co.uk and NS2.resellerdns.co.uk

They appear to be a multinational briefcase company. For those that haven’t heard that term, it means they are not a legitimate company. They scam a few people for lots of money, then just up and disappear, only to reappear using a new name, address and phone number. They have gotten a little smarter. They have moved their address and phone numbers across the border where the Better Business Bureau, State and Federal Attorney Generals cannot prosecute them. Do not sign up with this group and do not send them any money. This company does not exist. They will take your money and you will never be able to find them. If they contact you, follow my lead. Post your experience on the web so others can see it. We might be able to help others from being scammed.

The only timeshare advocacy group in Mexico is the government agency www.profeco.com .... they try to resolve problems that people have if they think they have been defrauded by a timeshare resort. Glad you didn't fall for the scam above.
