Selling a Timeshare Through Allied Investment Solutions

They said to pay the Mexican government. I told them to pay it out of the proceeds.
I don't whether you continued the conversation after that or not, but the usual reply to a statement like that from the scammers is something like, "The Mexican Government requires that you, the seller pay this fee before the sale, transfer, and paperwork can be legalized and finalized and before we can release the funds to you. But don't worry, the buyer will reimburse you for these fees and the money is going into escrow while all this is sorted out."

That is just another red flag that people miss with this scam. If this was a legit fee or tax that is owed by the seller, why in the heck would a buyer reimburse the seller for those fees? Instead of questioning that, people just convince themselves that paying this money is only temporary since their settlement check is going to be even bigger.
