Even USA Today is reporting on timeshare frauds. That picture looks familiar... oh yeah, I was just there.

Seems fitting to have a picture of Poipu Point and their $65 million scam against owners!

Those paying upfront fees and getting scammed, in some cases multiple times, are not familiar with TUG. In fact, I would suspect that some have limited to no internet access.

When the timeshare has become a burden it is easy to believe the scammers (who can be VERY convincing) and drop your guard. Afterall, the scammers reaffirm what the owner WANTS to believe - that their timeshare IS worth money and that the original salesperson was RIGHT when they said it was a good investment.
