@paolocb This is a very common scam that targets Mexican timeshare owners. This is what I dug up in a short amount of time.
  • Website was created September 2018
  • Registered location for the website is Panama
  • The picture of the "satisfied" customer holding the python was stolen from a legit website (using Google image search). Further making it a joke is that the time stamp on the picture is 2017 and this "company" didnt exist in 2017
  • A quick snippet of their mission statement reveals that they stole that from another website too
  • Surprisingly, there is an active corporation by that name that was established October 2018. These scammers have been known to fraudulently resurrect a dissolved corporation by paying a few dollars to use that corporation in their scam. My guess is that they fraudulently started this corporation to perpetuate their scam.
What they will do is to get you hooked with an amazing dollar amount for your timeshare. When you are hooked, they will come up with required fees or taxes that must be paid in order for you to receive your big bucks. It is all a lie.

I'll agree with RX8 that it is probably a scam but can you give a few more details about your encounter with this company? Did they contact you out of the blue? Did they promise to fetch you thousands of dollars for the rental or sale of your week? What did they say about their compensation for finding renters (or buyers)?
