This appears to be a scam related to others reported here. Company purports to have a buyer who has already placed in escrow the purchase funds. The sales price is very lucrative, more than I paid for the property. All I have to do is send 11% of the sales price for the Mexican notary public to process the sale.
I checked on the travel agency, and it has been in business in Oregon for 40 years, registered with the state, so this appears to be a situation where they have appropriated a business somehow. I also check on Mexican law regarding the use of the notary public. In Mexico, a notary is actually an attorney and is required for the transfer of property. However, a notary typically charges 3-5% of the contract price, and is paid by the buyer, not the seller.
I imagine after paying the 11% fee, being asked to pay some other amounts as noted in other scam reports.
Thankfully, I came across this website in my due diligence research. Please do not fall for a scam such as this.
