Explicó que el dinero se mantendría en un Irrevocable Cuenta fiduciaria en la División Transfronteriza en México. Recibí un banco estado de cuenta que muestra el saldo de $118,000. A continuación, me dicen que tengo pagar una cuota de inscripción de RFCE (costo de $7,122) y el comprador reembolsará me. Recibo un nuevo saldo en el estado de cuenta bancario de $125,122. Yo estaba entonces me dijeron que tenía que pagar el impuesto sobre las ventas de Baja Califormia ($13,800) y que el comprador me reembolsará, luego recibí el estado de cuenta bancario que mostraba $148,922 en el cuenta. Llamé al banco al número de teléfono que aparece en el estado de cuenta para verificar el saldo, me dijeron que tenía el saldo correcto.

El Sr. Austen me llama con un mensaje urgente, el La Aduana Mexicana estaba reteniendo el dinero y tuve que pagar $32,359.17 de despacho honorario. El Sr. Dan Austen dijo que la Aduana estaba invirtiendo en "dinero blanqueo" y que tenía que pagar lo antes posible, el comprador Devolver mi dinero. Como siempre, recibí el extracto bancario que mostraba $185,154.27 en la cuenta. El dinero fue devuelto al Banco. Una vez más, el Sr. Austen llamó, el banco quiere una fianza de seguro de $23,971.33, $51,638.76 impuesto sobre la renta y $38,615.41 de tarifa de procesamiento bancario. Llamé al BANCO usando un número de teléfono que busqué en el sitio web del banco. Me dijeron que el número de cuenta no existía en su banco y que no tenía un cuenta. También le pedí a mi banco que llamara al banco respectivo para obtener lo mismo respuesta, SIN CUENTA, sigo recibiendo llamadas del Sr. Dan Austen y su gerente internacional diciendo que tengo que pagar el dinero.

I got a call from Dan Austen, he told me he was a broker for Our City Homes. He said he had a buyer for my timeshare and the price was 80% of the market value of $127,000. He explained that the money would be held in an Irrevocable Trust Account at the Cross-Border Division in Mexico. I received a bank statement showing the balance of $118,000. Next, they tell me that I have to pay an RFCE registration fee (cost of $7,122) and the buyer will reimburse me. I receive a new bank statement balance of $125,122. I was then told that I had to pay the Baja California sales tax ($13,800) and that the buyer will reimburse me, then I received the bank statement that showed $148,922 in the account. I called the bank at the phone number listed on the statement to check the balance, they told me I had the correct balance. Again I receive a call from Mr. Dan Austen informing me that I had to pay $5,973.10 for registration and legal fees and for the buyer to reimburse me, he received the bank statement which showed $152,795 in the account. I then received a transfer confirmation showing that the money has been transferred. I never got the cable. Mr. Austen calls me with an urgent message, the Mexican Customs was holding the money and I had to pay $32,359.17 clearance fee. Mr Dan Austen said that Customs was investing in "money laundering" and that I had to pay as soon as possible, the buyer Return My Money. As always, I received the bank statement which showed $185,154.27 in the account. The money was returned to the Bank. Again, Mr. Austen called, the bank wants an insurance bond of $23,971.33, $51,638.76 income tax and $38,615.41 bank processing fee. I called the BANK using a phone number I looked up on the bank's website. I was told that the account number didn't exist in his bank and that he didn't have an account. I also asked my bank to call the respective bank to get the same answer, NO ACCOUNT, I keep getting calls from Mr. Dan Austen and his international manager saying I have to pay the money. THIS HAS TO BE A SCAM.
