No vacation for timeshare owners
Timeshare reseller schemes continue
Listed as one of the top 10 schemes of 2010, "Timeshare Resellers" are still among Better Business Bureau's most commonly reported scams. Consumers who own vacation properties or timeshares are contacted by resale companies promising to market and sell properties on their behalf. Some companies claim to already have eager buyers or imply they are representing investors, however, most are just offering to advertise timeshares for sale.
