This is one of the videos I have been wanting to do for a long time... There are a lot of people who feel that Timeshares are a scam... I have attempted to call out and address my top 5 reasons why people tell me that timeshares are a scam... The industry is far from perfect. But unlike the auto industry (think used car salesperson), there isn't a lot of advertising telling you about the beauty of timeshares like there is advertising telling you about the beauty of a car.

In this video, I go through my top five reason people feel scammed and I also try to provide a remedy for each one of them. It takes a bit of effort to learn how to use a timeshare and the sales team makes it sound easy... Those two forces are almost certain to create a mismatch in expectations... And the resulting feeling of thinking it is a scam.
