Re: Re: Re: BlueGreen Vacations Timeshare Scam Warning!!! (by John I.):
Val, it sounds like you were "romanced" at Bass Pro Shops. They sell discount packages for Bluegreen getaways - which include a timeshare orientation. Read the package of information that you were given to confirm this. I would go right back to the sales agent and tell them you can't go, for some reason and ask to cancel the transaction. (again, read the agreement). If you can't you need to attend the meeting and listen to the pitch. If you are firm about not wanting a timeshare, and keep track of the time, they should let you out when the time commitment is fulfilled. If you find the sales forces overwhelming and the discussion gets so serious that you fall for the pitch - realize that you can cancel a timeshare purchase during the "rescission period." All states require a rescission period in developer timeshare contracts. You can cancel in writing from 3 to 10 days depending on the state that you purchase in. Those details will be in the paperwork that the sales folk give you. BUT, don't let it get that far. Be STRONG. Don't let someone push you into something you don't want. Timeshare is a perpetual contract! And, if you are REALLY afraid, just don't go - and consider it a "life lesson."
