Apologies. But if this is not your website then the warning is appropriate

If this is not the legitimate company's website then it is obviously a case of stolen identity.

The legitimate company can complain about the fraudulent website to:

This company is part of a big scam!!!! I just got scam out of $4,100.00 for the sale of a Time Share I have in Mexico. So, I'm writing this post so there is no other victim. Here is how it works:

A company called Despegar.com, which is actually a real travel company, in Mexico, is interested in buying my Time Share Membership. So, an offer is generated on this company's letter head. The real Despegar.com, probably has no clue what is going on.

Once you accept the purchase price for the Membership, they tell you an escrow company will handle all the funds, in my case it was Home Realty of Rochester. Where the buyer will deposit their purchase funds to be held in escrow. (The broker Joan Dewitz, claims she has filed a report with the FBI and the Minnesota Real Estate Commission, but I called and there is no such reports about the company or brokers identity being stolen.

So, apparently the escrow company contacts the Resort where the membership is and request the paper work for the transfer. Once you fill out the paper work and the resort finds out who the buyer is, they claim they cannot approve the sale because it's a travel agency and you cannot sell to corporations.

So, the escrow company (Home Realty of Rochester) calls and tells you, do not worry, the resort cannot block your sale because (Profeco) which is a Mexican agency that protects the consumer will not allow them to block your sale. So, Profeco emails a letter signed by some bullshit guy who runs the Fraud Department. Stating they are your Mexican attorneys and they will prepare a Certificate of Release overriding the sale. But, you have to pay 10% of the agree purchase price and wire the funds to some bank in Mexico to pay Profeco. Note that different amount of people will call you form different numbers which makes it sound so real.

Once you wire the funds, kiss them good buy, because Home Realty of Rochester sends a signed notarized letter signed by Joan Dewitz stating you will have the rest of the funds within 48 hours. That never happened and they tell you is because the Mexican government will not release the funds because you have to pay capital gains tax. So, they ask you to wire more money, which at this point Joan Dewitz ask you, "if you want, you can cancel your transaction because it's a lot of money". But, the letter they email you, it states if you cancel the money you wire will not be refunded. So, they keep it.

Also, there is a bank involved called MontReal Bank in Canada who is suppose to wire you the funds, but needs you to fill out a Fincen 104 form to declare funds . I think this is how they get the money back from Mexico into their account.

I will have this people brought to justice no matter how long it takes.

Do not fall for this SCAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure they do it with different company names. I hope this helps. Also, I email the real Profeco in Mexico and they responded they do not have a Fraud Unit nor do they know who signed the letter that supposedly came from them.

Thank you for posting this additional information on the scam . Your post will help warn other potential victims . Be sure to file a report on the IC3 Website.

I have to say that if a travel company directs you to a fraudulent escrow company then that travel company has to be suspect itself.

Of course we do not have all the details of the communications so there may be some doubt.

However there are complaints about despegar.com on the internet.

I got a called from the Consumer Trade Commission of Minnesota, and all they told me that the real Joan Dewitz has her identity stolen. Now, I will call the Commission back, because it sounds like the person that called me was more interested in letting me know and that I understood that the real Joan Dewitz has nothing to do with the scammmm! It could be the scammers calling me back?

Its certainly possible that the call was a scam also . To be sure of who your talking to , call them directly yourself or visit their website .
