  • RubyWednesday - it all depends on how strong you are as a person...find out if the company is part of Tatoc (timeshare regulatory body) and RDO (another reg body)..If they are then you should be safe and only have a presentation on timeshare for about 3/4 hrs max...if your not interested then they will leave you alone...being part of the above will mean they have to tell you all the information and costs involved in timeshare or they will get removed...if you let us know what the name of the company is i can investigate this for you....
    Timeshare itself is no longer a scam...was it 10 yrs ago?yeah most of the time...youve got to ask yourself who would buy an apartment thats not even built..i wouldnt...
    It was regulated in 2009 and is now heavily scrutinised...will it suit you...i dont know...you'll find that out on your presentation.
    There's a lot of people on here that have been bitten badly by timeshare sharks and I appreciate everyone has a story of bad sales people but it wouldnt be a $6 billion dollar a year industry if it was STILL a scam.
    I dont own timeshare myself(the reason is I dont have the initial capital available to buy it and it doesnt suit me personally, im single with no kids) am i going to buy it in the future...yes on the condition I have the initial capitial and im married with kids.
    I can see a few people on here that will come back and ask me am I in the industry? yes I have been for nearly 12 months now (dont worry people im not gonna try and sell you anything) Im never going to give out the company I work for or where in the world I now live as im not here to sell(i am genuinely here to help as best i can :))....If you want it people I will give you advise on timeshare and how it can make SOME peoples holidays considerably better :)
