Timeshare Scams and Fraud

We have sent money in good faith and we’re told they had a buyer. Now they tell us the Mexican government is requiring $19,000.00. This company is scamming us and we would like the Attorney General of Wyoming to investigate this company.

A Wyoming co from a virtual office has a buyer that the seller will pay the CO company 5% to receive an price for a time share.
