Re: I Worked at a Timeshare Scam

Thanks, JonathanC, I just now read your post. We had been contacted by Land Ahoy about selling one of our units but didn't take the offer. Some businesses provide a genuine service for the fees they charge, others don't. Caveat emptor - buyer beware. But then, the people on this page have already been burned. Too bad there isn't a way to reach out to those waiting to be burned by the scam artists making unfounded promises when selling the places so people wouldn't need to hire services to dispose of the property. But then, money talks in the resort communities so we would be shut down. Greed talks in our own minds so we shut out reason when making the purchase. That is not to say buying a timeshare is bad. We have them. We use them, and can afford them. If you can't afford one, don't buy it. Take a cooling off time during the purchase to think about it. Do some research to find out the reputation of the resort with the locals. JonathanC - Thanks again for your post.
