Re: New time share owner - want out! (by Sweetie B.):

ok... i read on another thread here about GNR being a scam, but this ordeal sounds truly horrible. I have never been big on timeshares I think they are one of the biggest market scams ever developed. Really how can anyone outside of the property company benefit from paying that kind of money to get a few weeks here and there at a property you NEVER really own. You have no rights as an owner and trying to dump one of these on some poor soul is nothing short of fraudulent. Paying a one time fee for weeks at varying resorts around the world certainly seems like a better deal. You have a choice of where you want to vacation and are not limited to the same old year after year, but what happens if the company ceases to exist... just like a load of timeshare companies over the years... I think i'd rather lose a one time fee of a few grand then 10 to 50 grand on some timeshare. As for MLM companies... you would be surprised how many are out there thriving. Just because it is MLM does it mean it's a bad thing for the consumer. Besides do any of you know what kind of commissions and kick backs are given to travel agents and travel firms. I was in the biz for many years and we traveled on the resorts dime many times just for our company to pick up and promote the resort or hotel through our biz. It's all the same when it comes right down to it. The only ones getting screwed over are the consumers. You know the saying " Buyer Beware" or " Do Your Homework" or "It's Too Good To Be True" hmmmm.. they all ring true when it comes to timeshares, memberships in travel companies etc... be a smart consumer it makes the world of con artists a much harder place to operate.
