The timeshare is one which has garnered something of an unsavory reputation over the years since it experienced a boom in the 1970s. While there are legitimate timeshare sellers out there, the sad reality is that the market is fraught with scammers, and thousands of consumers fall foul of scams and fraud every year.
Timeshare scams usually target those who already own a property and are trying to sell it. The Timeshare Consumer Association are a group which work toward providing advice and legal help to those who have been affected by timeshare scams.
They’ve put together this handy infographic which outlines five of the most common timeshare scams out there, and more importantly, how to avoid them. While timeshare scams are unfortunately common, if you know what to look out for and are vigilant, they can be fairly easy to spot and once you do so, you can generally just walk away.
Remember, if you do find yourself the victim of one of these, or indeed any other, timeshare scam, make sure that you get in touch with an industry specialist such as the TCA to see what your options are.
