Just got a call from a "TS Luxury Group", letting me know I had a buyer. I assume this is a scam since they want money up front. Anyone heard of them?

Yep! As soon as you send them the money, the "buyer" will back out and you won't get your money back. Legitimate resale agents charge commission AFTER the sale.

They are 1 of the 17 companies under investigation by the Fla Att Gen Office. Amazing how 1 by 1 these companies keep getting asked about here

Asset Property Traders, LLC Scam
OK had a new a more creative contact this time. Asset Property Traders had a potential owner who was going down a list of provided owners for the Manhattan club call me to discuss terms. The man, "Jason" said he was tired of paying the high hotel prices, had seen a presentation by Asset Property Traders for the Manhattan club and was interested in buying. I gave him a price which he accepted, without haggeling and let me know that his broker would be calling me. Next day Asset PTraders call to set up terms. Checked their website and googled name and had eight people laud their great performance. (presumed false) Yes I needed to pay a fee up front. I sent them the paperwork back along with an affidavide that warranted that I would: not inhibit the sale; that there were no encumberances against the property and; the annual fees were already paid in advance. Since I did not include their money, which of course I would get back once the sale closed, I have not heard from them again except that "Jason" did call back and say they had a problem. Bam, end of deal.
They are supposedly doing business out of Atlanta. I call the BBB, no record. I called the Attorney General of GA and filed a complaint and let them know the scam was ongoing if they wanted to act. No interest they said they were "investigating". Their LLC was not listed in GA to do business based upon the Secretary of States websites for legitimate businesses. I wish we could catch these folks who are preying on the hopes of others.
