Mr Donovan called to confirm the information from Dorado Property and to let me know he was sending a contract. He also informed me that I needed to make a wire transfer of $2470 to a agency in Mexico. As a processing fee.
This is the agency:
Beneficiary: Asociacion Turistica de Servicios Internacionales Area 5, SA de CV
Beneficiary Address: Av. Mexico N°3535 Col. Vallarta
San Jorge, Guadalajara, Jalisco C.P. 44690

I was told to fax copies of the wire transfer to Mr Donovan which I did.
Several days later I receive a call for a collection company regarding Outstanding Maintenance fees with the time share. This is when I tried to contact Mr Donovan, and was consistently routed to voice mail. I then tried to contact Dorado Properties and also was routed to voice mail. I tried emails phone numbers Fax numbers. The Fax seemed to be working so I composed a letter stating if I did not hear from both companies with in 24 hours I would be contacting the police and filing fraud charges. On March 25 I receive an email stating there was a new Mexican law and the seller had to pay a tax that the buyer would refund. The amount of the new Mexican tax was $3465 bringing the total paid out not including Wire transfer fees to $5940, Wire transfer fees total $90.00.

Both Dorado and Sterling title have not responded to any type of communication.
