Timeshare Scams and Fraud

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.

I said no several times to several people that kept getting sent to me!!! It does come a point that you end up agreeing because you just need out there and have already been violated basically for hours!

We were defrauded by Diamond Resorts for $15,500 in 2016. What happened is that their salesperson made representations to us which were not in the written contract we signed. We found out later that virtually nothing he represented to us at the sales presentation in order to induce us to buy was true. Details follow.

We only went to the presentation to receive the attendance reward. After a few hours of the listening to the usual spiel trying to get us to buy more anyway even though it made no sense for us who wanted to "sell" what we already owned (for zero, which I have always known as the industry standard practice) what they already owned, we made our position clear and started to leave. At this point our salesman offered us this "great new deal" Diamond... Read More
