I think using YouTub to get the word out about all timeshare scams, especially upfront fee companies is a GREAT IDEA. I can't do YouTube because I have slow dial-up, but someone should get the ball rolling in exposing all the timeshare scams out there.
I think that is a good idea, as it levels the playing field when everyone has the same information. However, I too am on a dialup modem at home and I find it painfully slow to see anything on You-Tube. Another option which I think is more suitable to dialup users is to merely create a webpage such as http://www.davesplanet.net/silverleaf/ to accurately document the facts. I do not know the author of that webpage, but I do own 2 timeshare weeks purchased from the company, which is the subject of that webpage. As long as the content is true and accurate, I think it helps to get the word out. Webpages can be created for minimal cost or even for free at many sites.
