subject: A Safe Hands Transfers Expert's Personal Scam Tale [print this page] When I was first started in this career, I was immediately received a lesson in timeshare scams. It was one of my very first weekends, and I was running for copies of a Pueblo Bonito timeshare membership certificate that a customer was transferring with us. I asked the girl working the front desk to make a copy of the Pueblo Bonito contract, and she stated, "Oh, that is a great resort." I asked if she owned a timeshare. She replied, "Oh no, my boyfriend and I just went online and rented a place there recently. It was only fifty bucks a night!" I found out then just how needed we were. People don't need timeshares.
Now a veteran of Safe Hands Transfers, I see the same thing week after week. All the people that come to us are hesitant because they have been cheated by their timeshare club, the listing companies, and in many cases even by other owners and lawyers who gave them bad advice. So when these people come to me, I pay close attention to the stories that THEY tell me.
A weeks ago, I met a man from Columbia who owed $6,300 in annual membership fees. This man had amassed over a million points, yet he couldn't use them because his emphysema restricted travel. He was therefore paying over $500 per month for something he doesn't use. After seriously searching for a way out of the contract, he looked us up on the BBB website. He also did his own rental market research, and a few days later I found myself speaking to him.
Based on his own computation, he found that he would be overpaying his vacation if he used up every point he acquired, instead of just renting a vacation condo through Expedia, Orbitz, or any number of internet travel sites. More importantly, by browsing sites such as eBay, he found out his resort had an equivalent batch of points for less than $5 and it had no bids, even at that amount. As such, he personally found that his timeshare was valueless to him, and to the impersonal forces of the free market economy.
Through the years, I have met people who have done their homework. Thanks to them, the matter has been brought to the higher authorities, through complaints to Senators, state Attorney Generals and the Federal Trade Commission. Intelligent and educated people now agree that there is no reason to own a timeshare. And purchasing a timeshare today means shelling out money for an expensive lie.
Whether people own a timeshare in Mexico that has a real expiration date, or a perpetual contract with Ultimate Escapes or BlueGreen, they need not be mired anymore. Safe Hands Transfers has been aiding hundreds of timeshare owners every week, thousands every month!
