Beware of Scam on Timeshare Owners.

Beware of Scam on Timeshare Owners. 

Holidays - An Alternative to TimeShare.

The trading watchdog has warned consumers not to 
fall prey to fraudsters offering to sell unwanted 
timeshares for them.

The Office of Fair Trading said people had already 
lost hundreds of pounds to bogus timeshare resale 
companies, with some victims also conned into paying 
thousands of pounds to obtain holiday club 
membership on the basis of false promises.

The group said timeshare owners often received 
unsolicited telephone calls from a bogus timeshare 
resale company, in which it was claimed that a 
definite buyer had been found for their timeshare, 
and was willing to make an above market offer.

The full article was in the Press Association - Google 
News - but no longer available apparently.

An Alternative:

IF you have unwanted time shares, or do not actually 
own a time share, it may well be time to consider an 
alternative - a better alternative - of a Club 
Membership that allows you WORLDWIDE travel to a 
variety of different global luxury resorts - at an 'affordable' price even with 
the Club Membership fees. 

That way you do get a choice of locations, worldwide 
- and even before you actually buy a Club Membership 
you may be able to visit one which may be near your 
next holiday destination if you have already booked 
your holidays - and check the quality.

And/or you will be able to compare your current or 
recent costs to the prices where the 
Club Membership approach is on a per UNIT basis and 
not on a per PERSON basis.

The per unit basis would be particularly suitable 
for couples, families, family groups, or just a few 
friends.

If you have a TimeShare you can offer it to other 
Members - provided it complies with the Club 
costings etc.,
