I just read my AARP magazine last night, and was shocked to see that full page ad!

YEP . . . Westley!

given how much traffic AARP has generated for TUG when they have mentioned us in the past within articles they publish, I can only imagine how many people will be funneled from a full page ad.

sad day for owners.

Hopefully y’all won’t mind when I repeat that I cancelled my AARP membership years ago after seeing a full page ad for Wesley in the magazine and getting a “we don’t care” response from AARP when I emailed to tell them Wesley is a scam. To their credit, AARP did refund my membership fee.

It's all about $$$. Wesley and other timeshare exit companies spend big money on media advertising and talk show endorsements, which in this case, Clarity Transfers paid for the large advertisement. They don't care if it's a scam, they only see the "Benjamins".

Got me to open the magazine to look. Sad that so much is only about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ now days.

AARP does so many good things it's sad to see them tarnish all the good will with these ads. There are two entities within AARP, the for profit side, and the non-profit Foundation. I have been a volunteer for 13 years with the non-profit. AARP tries to access our client base every year and I advise clients not to consent to allowing their information to be shared with the profit side of the organization.

I misunderstood the thread. I thought it was an add for TUG. I went on the electronic addition and didn't see the add. My bad. Ignore.

There should be an article on TUG right by this huge ad by Wesley Financial. Truly dislike these exit companies. Evil companies that prey on the elderly.

Funny that my stepdad brought an ad to us from his AARP magazine about a timeshare exit company years ago. He asked if we wanted to get out of our timeshares. No, not really. He thinks everything on AARP is legitimate and great. He believes everything he reads. He is 89 years old, so I worry about him all of the time, and his confusion right now is very concerning.

Regarding AARP, I'm sadly one of those members who benefits significantly from their travel deals (cars & hotels mostly) plus the 5% discount for UPS shipping, which I use A LOT. So I pretty much hold my nose when sending my membership money because I'm better off with them, than without them.

Well I guess the saying is true, "Every cloud has a silver lining".

I thought it was Wesley that advertised? Where does Clarity Transfers come in?

Here's the ad in this month's AARP magazine.

Post #3 said "Clarity Transfers", but either way, whether Wesley or Clarity, they pay $ and media does not care if they're a fraud.
