Gross Point Executives

Review: I was contacted by this company regarding a Timeshare I own in Mexico. The company advised me they were a third party and were interested in buying and selling my time share. They already had all my information regarding my timeshare. When I accepted the sale of my timeshare and signed the contract I was told I had to wire $1718.00 to the SAT office in Mexico to pay federal taxes on the property I owned. I wired the money to the bank they provided me and they told me I would receive the money for my timeshare and a Fedex package containing name change documents. After sending the money I received a call from this company a few days later advising me that the funds had not been released by the SAT office in Mexico because the government had imposed a state tax. The man, [redacted], told me I needed to send another $2049.00 to the same bank in order to receive my payment for the sale of my timeshare. I did not send any more money and told them to void my contract and send my money back. They advised me that could take as long as 60 days. I was contacted by my vacation club and told this was a scam. I located this company's website and they have the Revdex.com accreditation logo on their website. I am being told that this company is not Revdex.com accredited. I have contacted the Louisiana Attorney General's Office. Thank you in advance for any assistance. [redacted]Desired Settlement: I want my $1718.00 back.

Review: The company contacted me asking if I would be interested in selling my vacation club membership. I responded that I would be interested in looking at an offer. The offer they gave me was considerable, so I decided to pursue the sale. I was later notified (three separate times) about fees I would have to pay to Mexico, one for federal taxes, one for state taxes and one for the escrow fee. The company assured me I would be reimbursed for the taxes, and honestly, all three fees seemed legitimate based on the explanation given me and the nature of the transaction. I was given official receipts for each cost, and since the company had the Revdex.com logo on their website, I was confident my sale would be going through. The next step was supposed to be me receiving a wire transfer from Mexico for the property. After that I was supposed to receive the transfer documents to sign, at which time Gross Point Executives would be reimbursing me for the additional costs incurred. I have received nothing, and now it seems their phones aren't accepting any calls.Desired Settlement: I definitely want a full refund for all fees (including wire transfer costs) at least.

Everything was fine untill they asked us for 1600.00 to pay for Federal tax in Mexico to realse the and final the sale. They sent us a brooker they said hadled all there accounts and could the sell. After they recevied our funds they said we where guarantee to recive what they would but our vacation plan and the 1600.00 we put in. We wired the funds only to find out a week later they wanted more money this time claiming we needed to pay the state taxes. They claimed they had no idea this was coming.

Review: My husband and I were contacted out of the blue on January 3rd, 2014 about the purchase of our Unlimited Vacation Club membership from a company called Gross Point Executives in New Orleans, LA. They said their client is [redacted] of Mexico. The staff we have spoken to are [redacted], J[redacted], and [redacted]. We were not satisfied with this vacation membership to begin with, so we were interested. Although, admittedly, they never could explain to us how they got our contact information. After completing some of the upfront paperwork, we were also provided one reference (after requesting it). We were informed that their company Gross Point Executives would not receive any money until after we received final funding, and they were to be sent 5% once this was completed. Then, on January 7th, we were asked to wire money for 20% Federal Taxes (totaling $2,160) to a Mexican Escrow Account under their agent's name, [redacted] (whom they verified they worked with and even sent us his license information) at Banco Nacional de Mexico at [redacted], [redacted], [redacted]. , so that the funds ($10,800) may be released. We received documentation from the SAT office, signed by escrow agent [redacted]. We were promised in our contract that disbursement would take place within 3 business days after sending the 20% Federal Tax, and we were also told by [redacted] that 3 of the 5 people in our group had already received their funds from their disbursement. This, I was informed later (after they requested more money) was untrue, as another rep. [redacted] told us [redacted] must have been confused. We did this on 1/14/14, however we then received a form on 1/16/14 indicating that we would need to pay additional State taxes for [redacted] (an additional $3,089), as the membership was for a hotel in Cancun. They told us there was a "new law" which was the reason for this, however could not explain why both SAT forms (supposedly from the government office) were dated the same date 1/06/14 and also both signed by [redacted]. They continued to inform us that after we paid this additional amount then our funds would be disbursed. At this point we have stopped all contact with Gross Point Executives, as now we believe that we have been scammed. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SCAM, if they even still exist.Desired Settlement: We would like the money we wired to the escrow agent [redacted], whom is affiliated with Gross Point Executives, to be refunded. The amount is $2,160.

At this time, I have been contacted directly by Gross Point Executives regarding complaint ID 9890577, however my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Gross Point informed us the week of January 20th that we could cancel but it could take 45-60 days to get our $2,160 back which we had wired the SAT office via [redacted]. We told them to pursue this and we then received notification "from SAT office" that we would have to wire them more money, over $1400, in order to get the money back we had sent. So the only option for a refund presented to us was simply a request for more money. My husband called [redacted], their "agent" in Mexico, and all he kept repeating was that we would have to pay the fee to get our own money back. This was unacceptable. They then emailed us a "Cancellation Form" which we signed and sent back promptly. Our last contact with them was around 1/27/14 when they told us that since we had signed the Cancellation Form, they could no longer assist us. Our money that we originally wired to a government office in Mexico City, is now gone.

Sincerely,

Review: The whole experience has been horrible. This phony company is nothing but scammers. Money has been stolen from me.Desired Settlement: Getting my money back and the phony company to be prosecuted for their actions of scamming people. They need to go to jail each and every one who is involved.

Review: We owned a Time share with Unlimited Vacation Club and was offered to sell our Time Share for a little more than we had in it. We have signed the papers and faxed to them and they were to have wired the money to our bank and we have seen nothing and now they will not answer the phone. I believe we have just got SCAMED. We talked to a [redacted].Desired Settlement: We either want our 175 days back or deposit the $6600.00 to our bank acct.
