Legacy International Title and Escrow Legacy Int'l. "contracted" to buy our timeshare in Costa Rica. We are elderly, my husband terminally ill so we will not travel again. Working by phone and fax, they insisted on a wire transfer to Mexico to pay this year's Maintenance fees, adding another "must do" demand for "taxes" a week later. Salt Lake City; banks: Jalisco,Guadalahara, Mexico Utah; Internet

That made our suspicions go higher. BEWARE. They refuse to return money paid, continue to phone with an ammended deal. Their phone and fax are not located in Salt Lake City, now will they answer simple questions about the city. We are certain they live/work in Mexico and are one of the many Mexican bank scams. We also believe they may change company names often. We have contacted police here and in Utah, will file with FBI next. 

We were unhappy with lack of response from a timeshare/condo we purchased in Costa Rica so picked up the phone when a caller said he was calling about that condo. "Anthony" of Legacy International Title and Escrow knew a lot about that company and said Legacy was buying up all the contracts for that site. We are elderly, my husband terminally ill so we will not travel again. Cash is short after his many hospitializations in the past few months. We foolishly listened. 

Their website looked legitimate with names, history, etc. Better Business Bureau and Ripoff Report had no posts for that company nor Anthony Savaterri. Legacy "contracted" to buy our timeshare in Costa Rica for a fixed amount. Working by phone, email and fax, they soon insisted on a wire transfer to Mexico to pay this year's Maintenance fees, before they could pay us. (They did not trust the banks in Costa Rica.) They added another "must do" demand for "taxes" a week later. That made our suspicions go higher. We were right.

Diego Perez then took over our account. They refuse to return money paid and continue to phone with ammended proposed deals. Diego said we would need to write their legal department in Salt Lake City to request a refund. I am doing that, with "Do Not Forward" instructions on the envelope. Their phone and fax are not located in Salt Lake City but in very remote areas of the state. When I challenged their location with a simple question about the city, Diego said he would not play games and hung up. Yet, he has phoned again.

We are certain they live/work in Mexico and are one of the many Mexican bank scams we now know about. We also believe they may change company and personal names often. We have contacted police in CA and Utah, will file with FBI next. We knew about grandparent, IRS and a few other scams. Now we know much more about other scammers. We have reams of paper contract details but have learned that international wire transfers mean the money is gone forever.
