He was contacted out of the blue in regards to his Hacienda Tres Rios and Sunset Club memberships. Both of these clubs/resorts are out of Mexico. The website was registered in February 2020, Because this wasn't his first time dealing with the scammers he was able to call them out on their scam. While normally the scammers will find a company that has gone out of business and register fraudulent paperwork with the state to renew the business, this scam operation found an active registered corporation that does not have any web presence. We spoke with the owner of the real Boston North End Realty, who confirmed he registered the company in 2018, and has not created the website yet. He owns domains similar to the one the scammers are using, and is currently working on the websites. The physical address the scammers are using is an empty office space in Cambridge, MA. The real company's registered location is in Boston proper. The scam website looks legitimate, however none of their listings take you to a webpage about the listing. While they call people with timeshares, nothing on their website mentions anything about timeshares. It specifically lists homes for sale in the Boston area, and the pictures of the homes do not always refer to the actual address. |

| Capital Access Holdings, LLC | Capital Access Holdings, LLC Names: Gregory Perez Phone & Email: 81 PROSPECT STREET BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, 11201 Info: Claim to be the closing company for Network Real Estate NY. While there is a real registered company by the name of Capital Access Holdings, LLC, at the address the scammers are using, Capital Access Holdings LLC could not be found on the New York State's Department of Banking Licensed institutions. A search of the national Mortgage Licensing System also yielded no results for a Capital Access Holdings LLC. A call to the realtor who has office space for lease at 81 Prospect Street he is not aware of any company operating out of the space named Capital Access Holdings. Their website was registered in 2019, by a proxy service used to hide who is really behind the website. The scammers welcome letter is poorly written and requests the victim open up a bank account with HSBC. A true escrow company does not require anyone else to hold the funds or open a bank account. It is their job to hold the funds in their escrow account. Their wording in their website is copied verbatim from legitimate escrow companies. Even the quotes from past customers are ripped off from legitimate title, escrow, and bank institutions websites. |

The wiring information was for Santander Bank, which is routed domestically but the actual end account is overseas.

Nereo RodrÃÂguez Barragán 1205 Barrio de Santiago, San Luis, S.L.P.,Mexico Info: Scam operation working in connection with The International Group, most likely the same individuals just pretending to be different people. Claim to have a corporate buyer for Mexican Timeshares. While their website does look someone more legitimate compared to the other scam operations we uncover, it is just another scam operation. Their website claims to have received more than $2.8 Billion in purchase and rental offers. A truly remarkable number, unfortunately it is not true. The URL PurchaseMyTimeshare.com was registered in 2007 and then updated in the last few months. It appears as though a URL reseller purchased in 2007 and then sold it to the scammers recently. The website was updated on 7/15/2020. For a company that claims to be in business since 2003, I wonder how they were just able to purchase the domain name in 2019. According to this website the domain "purchasemytimeshare.com" was on a domain auction site listed for $1,200 - Domain Auction Page for August 2019 Their logo looks just like Fidelity National Timeshare's logo. Fidelity National Timeshare is a legitimate business, and purchasemytimeshare.com is piggy backing off their legitimacy to make themselves look like they are legitimate. They also claim to have 6 different addresses in Mexico. However all of them seem to be in high rise buildings or virtual office locations. One of them is a residential building. The best part about their website is they have a tagline of "Do you have any questions, doubts or inquiry?" Brilliant! PurchaseMyTimeshare.com also shows up on ScamGuard.com - Purchasemytimeshare.com and The International Group Scam |

| Realty Consultants Inc Daiwa House Industry | Realty Consultants Inc Daiwa House Industry Names: Joseph Summerville Michael Shapiro Linda Hoffman Miguel Faura Ashley West - Executive Assistant Marilyn Labate -Broker James C Nichols. Susan Brown Phone & Email: 10 West 20th Street New York City, NY 10011 646-712-9319 646-975-9275 contact@realtyconsultants.com http://www.realtyconsultantsinc.com/index.html m.labate@realtyconsultantsinc.com a.west@realtyconsultantsinc.com Info: View one victims write up about this scam here - https://realtyconsultantsinc.info/ Another scam operation, just like the majority of the scams targeting timeshare owners with Mexican timeshares. The legitimate Realty Consultants is located in Rochester. The scammers are masquerading as licensed real estate agents. The agents listed are real people, however the scammers are just pretending to be them. Like 99% of these scams the victims receive a call out of the blue asking if they want to sell their timeshare for more than they paid for it. Getting a call out of the blue is the biggest warning sign for a scam. No one knows you own a timeshare if you don't have it listed. These scammers have stolen a list of owners from the resorts or more likely the scammers are still in someway employed by the resort. This scam involves claiming to have a Japanese corporate buyer by the name of Daiwa Housing Industry. While Daiwa Housing Industry is a legitimate company, they are not in the business of purchasing timeshares at Mayan Resort, Grand Mayan, or Vidanta. The scammers claim that the buyer's money is in escrow in Mexico. Once the timeshare owner signs the letter of intent or sales agreement the scam begins. The fake broker at Realty Consultants, Inc. claim that due to Mexican Law there is a fee required that must be paid by the timeshare owner. The scammer explains that the buyer is willing to reimburse the timeshare owner for the fee, but it must be paid by the owner. The fee ranges from $4,000 - $8,000. The terms the scammers use range from "Title Insurance Fee, International Capital Gains Taxes, Temporary Naturalization certificate, International Resort Transfer fee, etc. There are no fees required to transfer a timeshare in Mexico, other than the resort transfer fee that is paid via credit card or certified check. This scam is most likely perpetrated by one of the other scammers that have been outlined in our database. |
