I want to issue an important warning about an ongoing scam.

Fraudsters are using my name—and the name of a company called Business Consulting Services—to deceive people into sending money under the false promise of helping them sell or rent their Mexican timeshare or other real estate. I have written about this scam before here, but it continues to surface.

These individuals have falsely listed me as the CEO or, in some cases, as the attorney involved in transaction. Let me be clear: I am not affiliated with Business Consulting Services as the CEO, and this business does NOT engage in the sale or rental of Mexican real estate.

Do not send these scammers any money. It is fraud.

We have reported this matter to the FBI.

If you have been contacted or targeted, I encourage you to report it to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.

Please protect yourself.
