There's a ton of resorts in the Ozarks/Branson area and the the area is dominated by retirees who unfortunately have trouble keeping up with the push towards technology and new points systems. The exit teams take advantage of their frustration and it's just wrong....

Thanks for sharing, Brian. That is me who is interviewed from BBB.

I have done a lot of work on timeshare exit companies. The AG office has two active cases against timeshare exit businesses located here, and I would expect more to come.

I just want to say great job STLBBB. I wish that all your other offices around the country followed your lead in this. You are really helping people in a major way. Keep up the great work.

A timeshare could work if you absolutely love a place and want to come back every year and possibly make it a family destination. For some this is great. For many other, they rather not be locked in forever and have to pay for something they may not snaptube vidmate word to pdf want to use.

Bingo! That's why we here on TUG try to tell people who are contemplating purchasing a TS to take their time and do research. Try renting before you buy if that is a possibility (which it usually is). And of course, your first two sentences are a rebuttal we give to the many TS detractors who plaster all over social media (including TUG) to never buy a TS.

So many companies like resort sales group, changing their name to resort transfer group selling the wrong thing and completely scamming people, it’s no wonder that the listings that the locations say “Missouri” on eBay are all wrong. If I see Missouri as the listing location I walk.

Interesting that this Square One in the article is resortsalesgroup on Ebay. There's a thread on TUG about RSG being a problem for people who buy their timeshares.
