Has anyone ever sold their timeshare to Despegar.com travel agency?

It is a SCAM which I unfortunately became a victim of. In my case the Despegar rep said they were working with. Home Realty of Rochester an actual Minnesota based real estate escrow company and the Jordan Diamond law firm. The scammers gave a similar story that Despegar was buying the memberships so that They could repackage the weeks on their website and make a huge profit. They also sent me emails purportedly from my resort (Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach), the MX government, Scotia Bank, Bank of Montreal asking me to wire money to pay the balance of my membership, capital gains taxes, custom duties, administrative fees. Do not get sucked into this scam. ANYTIME YOU ARE ASKED TO WIRE MONEY TO SOME UNKNOWN ACCOUNT AS PART OF A TIMESHARE SALE TRANSACTION YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THAT IT IS A SCAM.
