Good morning Ya'll, Like a lot of people (though that doesn't make me feel any better) I fell for the BlueGreen sales pitch. We planned to say no so we didn't do any through research beforehand and by the time a big enough red flagged hit us it was already passed the rescind time. If...

Hi there, I am looking for a referral for an attorney in Mexico to help with a fractional ownership case of fraud. It's fairly simple, I even have the blessing of Profeco who mediated the case for me free of charge. The company is willing to offer me $48k and have admitted their guilt. But I...

We are attempting to rent a week at Kelowna Delta Grand and while I admit I strayed away from TUG over to Craigslist at least my TUG membership and “the how to” section saved me over $1K for spotting what I believe is a fraud post on Craigslist. After some back and forth with me trying to get...

Hello TUG BBS - I am, unfortunately, the victim of an identity theft connected with a number of timeshare-related fraudulent transactions. I've contacted the FTC to get an investigation underway, but it would help tremendously if other victims/attempted victims would also add their...
