I Don't Think I Own a Timeshare???

Leigh K. · 2016-10-26T08:26:22-0700

Periodically I receive phone calls or mail referring to me as a timeshare owner. I have never been a timeshare owner. I don't think I've ever stayed in one. Somehow my correct name, address and phone number are on a list of timeshare owners. I always ignore these phone calls and throw the mail away, but today I'm wondering,has this ever happened to anyone? Is there some sort of known scam where the scammer tries to make the target think that they do own a timeshare?

I have been getting the same kind of calls about "my" time share which I have never bought one or even stayed in one. They have to have some way to find out if there are time share in our names.
