"we have a buyer lined up for your Timeshare"

[TUGBrian]

a great story explaining this very common scam.

always remember.

1. no legitimate company will contact you out of the blue with an offer/buyer/whatever to buy or sell your timeshare.

2. no matter how good the story sounds, no matter how great the pitch, no matter what else was told to you....paying upfront fees to sell or rent your timeshare is a 100% guaranteed way to identify a scam.

The scammer came across TUG previously.

The editor and the author need to do some math. It said the couple bought the TS in 2004 but then raised the question "So, in past 17 years, how many times do you think they used their time share?"

Regardless, you would think that over the 13 years that they owned, the resort or timeshare company would have sent the owners some sort of warning about this ever-common resale scam.
