The close to 1 Million Timeshare Owners in Europe are constantly targeted by cold calling companies with their so called “to good to be true offers”.
From super discounted holiday accommodation, the so called Fly buy weeks, to guaranteed resale’s of timeshare, disposal services, court actions against the owner’s resort or timeshare industry and the Recovery of money paid to fraudulent companies…etc.etc.
The imagination and creativity of these criminals has no end.
The criminals know every single details from the timeshare owner, from their contact details to their membership details and even about the frauds they have fallen victim from in the past.
These cold callers are professional “cheaters” who are capable of luring many timeshare owners into their trap, many of them being people of advanced age and vulnerable.
The frauds could be avoided if all Timeshare Owners would contact Mindtimeshare straight away and every time they receive an “out of the blue” telephone call with this too good to be true offer.
They should not pay a penny upfront until Mindtimeshare has given their OK on the company in question.
But how can we make a million timeshare owners consult Mindtimeshare before paying any front fees to these kinds of companies?
We do all we can to transmit all our knowledge and make sure we place warnings as soon as we hear about yet again another bogus cold caller.
But we need the help of the entire sector!
Had a call from Resorts Direct. Our purchase of $ weeks holiday on 22/9 2013 expires.We can rebank for £99.Checked credit card statements Guess what No Transaction on that date. Sadie Turner on 080019800025,which looks like Extratime on line.Looks like a sneaky way to get some money relying on the victims poor memory to get a quick buck. We asked for the money back NO but if you pay £99 we can refund half. the expect call this morning did not come.

This is a very nice site and we can use your information but we still do not know how to get rid of our timeshare in a legal way without being procecuted for not paying the anual fee.
I entirely agree. I have 3 weeks in Tenerife that I have been trying to dispose of, legally, for just under 5 years. The total maintenance fees are currently nearly £1.200 per annum
I have been a victim how can address these matters for my benefit and for others.
