When I decided to purchase a timeshare, I trusted the resort’s reputation and the security of my personal data. However, I soon discovered the hard way that, in many cases, the resort’s salespeople or staff leak members’ information and sell it to fictitious companies whose sole objective is to scam people through fraudulent rental and resale offers.
Modus Operandi of the Scam Companies
These companies obtain your information from the contracts and forms you sign when purchasing the timeshare. They don’t just focus on closing the sale; some salespeople even generate extra income by selling your data to third parties. Once your information is in the hands of these companies, they start contacting you with deceptive offers:
- Rental or Resale Offers: Proposals with hidden commissions and abusive terms.
- Financial Traps: They aim to get you to pay fees for services that, in reality, never materialize.
The result is that you become trapped in a cycle of scams that affects both your finances and your peace of mind.
Impact on People
The effect of these practices is devastating. Victims of these scams face:
- Economic Losses: Money spent on services or commissions that never yield results.
- Constant Stress: The uncertainty and pressure from multiple fraudulent contacts.
- Credit or Identity Problems: In some cases, the exposure of your data facilitates identity theft or affects your credit history.
- Loss of Trust: It creates the feeling that everyone is always trying to scam you.
The best advice is to avoid falling into the trap set by timeshare sellers and to refrain from giving them access to your information. Buying a timeshare is not advisable; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s a waste of time, money, and peace of mind.
But if you have already purchased a timeshare, don’t keep torturing yourself over that decision; it’s best to act as soon as possible. How?
First, if you receive calls from timeshare rental or resale companies, it’s best to block them and hang up as soon as they try to convince you to do business by renting or reselling your timeshare. If you choose to listen out of pure curiosity, be firm and do not agree to send them any money—remember, they are very convincing, and before you know it, they’ll be asking you for money and persuading you to pay.
Second, you can cancel your membership to avoid throwing more money away on monthly fees or maintenance. This way, when you receive calls from companies regarding your membership, you can immediately cut the call short by telling them you no longer have a timeshare to use their services.
The Best Option: Cancel Your Membership
If you have been scammed or simply no longer wish to keep your timeshare, the safest option is to cancel your membership. Trying to sell or rent out your timeshare exposes you to further scams, since your information continues to circulate among workers in the timeshare industry. Canceling your membership helps cut off the flow of data and stops the cycle of scams.
