Because we work with and, in a sense, for the donor, we make it plain we are not about to continue supporting resorts that use unethical and possibly illegal claims and statements to defraud buyers of their money in the sale process. Like others here, the claim of scam depends on your perspective. Having been "scammed" by the resorts in the past, I find nothing wrong with using the law to the donor's benefit instead of the other way around.

Your socalled charity organization is no better than the resorts you claim are scammers.

Did anybody hogtie you and force you to sign on the dotted line when you bought from the developer? No, your eyes were glazed over by the luxury, beauty and amenities of the resort and the condos.

You, of all people, should know that what's said verbally in a presentation doesn't mean anything unless it's ALSO stated in the written contract. Did you go over your contract backwards and forwards and inside and out to make sure what was said verbally correlated to what was written in the contract .... evidently not.

We bought one developer timeshare and I don't blame the salesperson or the developer .... we were bowled over by the resort itself and that influenced our decision to buy. Most people have never even been to a resort and when they are offered a resort presentation they are overwhelmed with all the amenities, luxury and beauty.
