A partial "happy ending" (by John I.):
I am a 64 year old recent retiree, who has been Googling different timeshare terms to study the in's and out's of the industry - and the "schemes, scams and scums" of the business. I got on this forum early this morning, and have been riveted by it's content. Tina, your parents must be so proud of you. You were directed and persistant. I hope others have the same results. Susan, you are a kind heart with a Christian attitude. Unfortunately, faith and patience do not always get rewarded properly. Jay jay, and Donald - you are heroes and battle-tested warriors who have the knack to sense evil in your industry. And Bobb and Boobier - you guys were kind to share your information with a group of "needy" consumers. I am trying to determine whether the industry is something I want to bother with. One friend just got into a timeshare, and another was pestered to death in Florida. The industry is really a "buyer beware" business. My research, so far, has left me with the the viewpoint that the timeshare business is a lot like "the game of thermonuclear war." Sometimes the only way to win is to not play the game. May all of you be made whole - and the bad guys go to jail. I will continue my research.
