Re: Corporate Timeshare Network - rental or sales (by KC):
Recording a telephone conversation without the knowledge and consent of the other party is actually against the law in many states, so I would caution against casually doing so without having some knowledge of the applicable law in the state(s) at issue. Someone could find themselves on the wrong end of a legal action for surreptitiously recording phone conversations in a state where it is illegal to do so without the knowledge and consent of the other party.
I also harbor serious doubts about your assertion that RCI legal representatives are "continually chasing these rogue businesses into court". On what factual basis would you make that statement? If it was true, RCI would be blowing their own horn about it, loudly and often; I have never seen or heard of any such "chest thumping" or any related RCI claims or press releases in my several decades of timeshare involvement. RCI itself was the target of a class action lawsuit some years ago (regarding inappropriate and unfair handling of "exchange deposits"), but that lawsuit was settled after a few years with results of relatively little significance.
Apart from those observations, you have offered some good tactical advice regarding dealing with phone scammers, SurfM!
