[WSBAPT] Timeshare scam

[Jennifer Mackley]

An elderly PC just called and said she was trying to sell her timeshare in Mexico and the buyer told her there were past due facility fees owed. So she wired the $4000+ to an "escrow account" in Mexico. Then asked her to wire money to pay past due taxes, but when her bank wisely stopped her and suggested it was a scam she reached out. Has anyone had success in recovering funds from a scam like this? Or have a minute to speak to her about what she can do?

Thanks in advance.
Jennifer
