Are they all scammers? I would say no BUT I personally get annoyed by the stream of cold callers who blatantly disregard the do-not-call list. If they thumb their nose at that, I wonder what other laws they don't care to follow.
I'm beginning to believe they all are. OOC, after telling me the only money they make is 35% of the rental price wouldn't list me unless I purchased more points.
The red flags were; a cold contact, promise of an avg $1800/wk in rentals (less 35%). A 'calculator' to show me how much I need to be vacation "self sufficient", and an appointment with the supervisor/manager who turns up the heat. A little research went a long way! Much of what I gleaned off the internet, including tug, contradicted what I'd been hearing! Mainly I baulked at the cash outlay, $13-19K to purchase 300k points, and pick up all those maint. fees. Buy my points on Ebay? You cah't do that! "We don't sell points,but we have reputable resellers we use and they finance!"
