Upront fee parasites... (by KC):

sherrym121 asks, in relevant part: >>Why have these "businesses" not been busted by now?<< ==================================================

These "businesses" are despicable parasites, but the answer to your question is nonetheless very simple --- they haven't been "busted" because they haven't actually broken any law.

These parasites convince desperate people to VOLUNTARILY make the CHOICE to pay them a ridiculously high "advertising fee" to advertise a timeshare. The timeshare does indeed then get "advertised" --- so they meet their one and only legal requirement. Unfortunately, the advertising itself is essentially worthless, being just an overpriced listing on an obscure web site which knowledgeable people would never take seriously. The advertised prices are also absurdly high --- many times higher than prices in the open resale market for the exact same week at the exact same place.

I despise ALL of these "upfront fee" maggots, but what they do is NOT illegal. It's unethical, despicable, deceitful and opportunistic --- but unfortunately NOT illegal. It will take federal regulation to eradicate these maggots by MAKING what they do against the law.
