You NEVER front money when there is no reason to be paying money.
You don't pay "fees" to borrow money.
You don't pay a "broker" to sell your property, until they sell it. They get paid from the sales proceeds.
You don't prepay "taxes" when money is supposed to be paid to YOU. If it were required by law, it would be withheld, not prepaid.
You don't give money to people you don't know from Adam. Significant transfers of money contingent on performance are generally done through escrow.
And so on. All "advance fees" are suspect, generally signs of fraud.
The scammers are out there, and they are busy wrapping their usual scams to target desperate people, based on whatever is in the headlines, the latest crisis, etc.

After serving me drink after drink (11 in my last count), I agreed to give them a $500 USD deposit. The next day when I woke up I realized that this was not such a good deal and proceeded to cancel my request for their membership.
I was told that my deposit would be refunded within 5 business days. In fact they even gave me a letter in Royal Holiday letterhead stating that they would refund the deposit in that time span. The letter was signed right in front of me by their "accounting manager".
It has now been two months and there has been no refund. I have called them and the main office in Mexico countless times. I even email them a scan copy of the letter. Nothing happened.
What is the value of having a membership with an organization that does not keep their word even when it is in writing???.
Royal Holiday Club is an international institution that is dedicated to scam many people all over the world. I am one of the following people that have been robbed by this particular club. I went for holidays to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) on December 7,2009. I stayed at the hotel Bavaro Princess for the time being. When I was in the lobby of the hotel I met a sales person that worked for Royal Holiday club, he also said that Royal Holiday Club was a part of the hotel; he then invited us to his office. When we arrived to their office they served us wine and all kinds of alcoholic’s drinks. They made sure that we were completely drunk, so then they started talking about business, telling us how successful they are in their tourist industry. They talked so innocently that we believed everything that they have said to us. They brain washed us until we decided to buy from them for what they call timeshares or holidays for life.
We bought the membership from them and we paid more than $3000.00USD. These thieves told me that we can cancel the membership in 20 days if I am not pleased with the purchase. When I arrived to Canada I realized that I have been robbed by this company then me immediately I contacted them by sending register mail but they never responded. I am a victim that has been robbed like the other millions of North Americans that are in the same position as me.
I tried to contact the Dominican Republic authorities and I have mentioned them of the scam that is running in their country, but their was no use complaining because they didn’t do anything about it. And then called the Ministry of tourist and Dominican Republic, but is the same thing they told me that they are doing an investigation about this company. I do not know if they will get my money back.
The government of Canada should put signs of travel warnings to countries like Dominican Republic and Mexico in all airports to prevent this from happening to Canadian citizens.
Sincerely,
