Re: How can I rent a timeshare? (by KC):

jayjay notes, quite correctly, quoted in pertinent part:

>>.....they aren't bombarded with spam/scammers as is the case when all email addresses are openly displayed on ads (re: the tug member).<<

I can indeed speak from recent personal experience that this observation is absolutely true and accurate. After placing just ONE "for sale" ad on TUG recently, I was promptly just PELTED with scam emails (e.g., you have just won the UK national lottery, I'm in Nigeria and I want to send you a counterfeit check, please take me as your Ukranian bride, I need a U.S. business partner for my non-existent business, I am lonely tonight so please contact me etc., etc., etc.). I permanently yanked that TUG ad faster than one can say..... "No Mas". I too applaud the RedWeek approach which prevents this kind of crap from ever even being able to happen in the first place.
