BACKGROUND

I was contacted by Premier Property in August 2011, with an offer to buy our Timeshare Property we own in Mexico. We entered into a contract where they had a buyer for our TimeShare in the amount of $7, 780.00 USD. I was skeptical about this, however they were not asking for any fees or commissions until after we were paid.

They provided me with documentation on Banamex letterhead that an escrow account had been established in my wife & my name in the amount of $7, 780.00 USD. I called the Banamex bank in Mexico City and spoke with an escrow officer by the name of Marina Bernal and she confirmed what the letter said and what Premier Property was telling me. Right prior to scheduled funding a request came from Premier Property that we were required to pay an Mexican Federal Sales Tax which would in fact would be added to the sale price.

They provided me with documentation supposedly from the Mexican Government noting that this tax was due and known as SAT tax. So again I called the Escrow officer in Mexico to confirm and she reinforced what Bayside management was telling me. I also requested a letter from Premier Property guaranteeing that they would be responsible to reimburse me for the tax fees should somehow this transaction not take place. They did not provided me with such a letter.
