How did you come to know of this company? What are they promising to do for you and for how much? What are you hoping to accomplish by using this company? And with their name, are they "specialists" in the timeshare industry or do they offer some sort of financial services?

100% Scam. Just spoke with an owner through our timeshare scam hotline. They were asked to wire $6,800 to Mexico to pay for "Temporary Naturalization" so an escrow account could be opened in their name. The "Buyer" was willing to cover that fee at closing, but the Mexican government requires it be paid by the seller. All 100% bogus. No such thing. Luckily they smelled something foul and didn't wire any money, but I have talked to folks who have wired over $100,000 to Mexico under the same scam, just different companies.

All good questions. If OP's post had some of the answers, we might not need the name of the company.

Also, color us skeptical but we get that way when we see the first post ask about a company. If OP comes back saying he had a great deal, awesome people to work with, transaction was smooth as silk, then we'll know instead of just being suspicious.

timesharepro nailed it.

A "Temporary Naturalization" to sell, but not to buy. Sounds bass ackwards!
