The beginnings
Timeshare companies started their operations in the United States back in 1974.
The concept was well accepted by many entrepreneurs due to the big profits they could make, being that they could sell a room more than once to different owners.
Then, in the late 1980s, several timeshare companies started to run in Mexico, Canada and other countries in America.
Timeshare scams have been around since the beginning of the timeshare industry, but these frauds weren’t well known until recent years.
What happened is that before, there were not as many timeshare laws and regulations as there are now, as you can see in the article, getting out of a timeshare legally is difficult, so many of the owners just resigned to the fact that they had to keep the timeshare they bought without thinking.
The complaints
What people complain the most about timeshare companies is that it is nearly impossible to resell the unit, unlike what they were told by the sales reps.
That means, once they signed the contract is like making a pact with the devil due to the enormous difficulty to give the timeshare away, in fact, many times the owner ended up losing more money being ripped off by several timeshare resale scam companies that are in operation.
Another common complaint is that the units are frequently overpriced.
Companies ask for ridiculous amounts of money for a property you don’t even own entirely.
One more criticism is the maintenance fees.
Owners are bound to pay expensive fees every year, even if they don’t use their timeshare weeks, and the worst part is that the fees keep increasing year by year, and this is also mentioned on the article timeshare complaints, among others.
The truth behind the big numbers
There are close to 7 million families in the world who own a timeshare.
Global timeshare sales are over eight thousand million dollars per year, but the truth is that more than 50% of those families are struggling to get rid of their properties.
Timeshare companies use high-pressure sales tactics to make people sign the contract; more of these sales tactics are described in the article Timeshare salespeople.
The salesmen provide the potential victims with lots of gifts, such as meals, tours and even cash.
After the “guests” feel comfortable and relax, the sales work begins by lying to them, telling them that getting a timeshare is a fabulous investment, and if it comes a time when they don’t want the unit anymore it’s an easy task to resell it. The cordiality is gone.
Their biggest hurdle
Nowadays, it is becoming a harder challenge for timeshare companies to maintain their timeshare sales increasing.
People are gradually realizing that getting a timeshare is neither a good deal nor an investment, and that is a big hurdle for the worst timeshare companies, so they target people who probably don’t have much access to the internet or any other kind of information.
Also, they use alcohol as an incentive in their timeshare presentations in order to get the guests alcoholized.
Trying to convince someone who is under the influence of alcohol is a lot easier than convincing someone who is not and can think objectively.
