Complaint Review: Ibex Inc.

 Just in Time! I was contacted a couple of weeks ago when I was referred by my sister that she received a call from a man, Mr. Louis DeLuca, posing as a real estate broker for Fox Conn, his client. He asked us to send our timeshare documents to him for review so that we can get the best offer for our property. He was very insistent on the phone that his client was extremely interested in our property located in Mexico and owned by Mayan Palace. He immediately sent a letter with a huge amount of money! Over 67K. That should have been a red flag. We continued and then he hooked us up with a Mr. Christopher Valdez with Cross border investments, the escrow company. He sent us a bank statement from CitiBanamex with the 67K deposit. Seems legitimate, we continue. Mr. DeLuca then sends us a sales agreement. We have a couple of issues with it, and ask him. One of these issues is where we have to pay for a tax ID number with the Mexican government. (Upfront money) more skeptical now! So, we let him know that we want the buyer to pay for this and he somehow gets this multi billion dollar company to agree. We then get a revised bank statement with the amount for this TPC registry number, $4883. Hmmm,, maybe now, right? The money seems to be in this escrow account. We continue and the escrow agent, Mr. Valdez sends us the pre-closing documents to sign. We have not completed this process yet. He called to ensure we received them and he went over them on the phone with me. I asked why Fox Conn was interested in timeshares in Mexico. His answer was that they have many businesses there and that they wanted a place to wine, dine, etc prospects/clients. The big question for me is, if this buyer deposited this tax ID money in the escrow, why didn't they just pay this guy in Mexico. Why do we need to wire $4800 ? We have not and will not wire any money to anyone.
