Timeshare Scams and Fraud
Sales people on up are skillful, highly trained, manipulative, deceptive, thieves and liars! - Diamond Resorts International
Company Name: Diamond Resorts International
Let me begin by saying I’m a reasonably smart guy. I thought i could match wits with a sales agent. Nope! I’m handicapped by trust and being honest.
These sales people are ’professionals’. They are devious, highly trained, deceptive, manipulative liars and thieves. They are very creative. No matter what they tell you, only what is written on the hundreds of pages of the contract maters in the end. There is NO recourse after signing!
Their escalation’ appeals process is a joke. All they did was recite the contract back to me and tell me i signed the forms. The sales agent’s boss (VP of sales) just supported his salesman and essentially told me he had trained his agents in the very lies i had been told.
Im just SOL.
My recommendation:
1. Don’t buy Diamond Points!
2. Don’t accept a gift for a presentation!
3. Don’t attend a presentation for ANY REASON!
Consider;
1. There is a huge secondary market for timeshares. (Hmmm.... i wonder why?) Look there. Massively discounted! DRI points for as little as $.75/pt. (They tell you the price per point is $11.00 and ‘about to go up - again!’ but you somehow can buy today at $4.25/pt! IF you buy now! HIGH PRESSURE.
2. I don’t recommend Diamond Points even at $.75/pt!
3. Maybe some other company is better. (I really don’t know about the others. )
Good luck!
