Scammed, maybe not, but you paid too much. Not heard about Club Absolute, looks like they're located in

Koh Samui, Thailand
Pattaya, Thailand
Phuket, Thailand
Hong Kong
Tenerife, Canary Islands

Canary Islands is a hot bed of timeshare problems.
 
What did you buy and how much did you pay? Are you within your cancellation period?
 
This is a good product

This is a very reputable company with alot of credits to their name . Tis is a good product and is of very high value to you. Don't be worried just use it and you will be very happy i can promise you as i have met many members of this club.

Interesting post from a guest from Thailand with 2 posts. Can you say rescind? I hope someone can shed more light on this before the op finds themselves in a potential bind.

While I concur with your assessment, the date of the OP isn't changing.
 
oh dear

my parents signed up with absolute and they started automaically taking money out of their credit card without permission!
if that doesnt smell like a scam i dont what does.
also the pressure to sign up without being able to go away and think about it also seems to me to not be a legitimate tactic, but rather one to avoid ppl finding out its a scam!

cant help but think you work for them!
no assumptions, just a guess.
i havent heard anything good about this timeshare except from you...
that could say something about how good the company really are
as opposed to how good you say they are.
what is your experience with them and why should the ppl viewing this post trust you?
 
Welcome beetlez! - While you may be absolutely right about Moose420, he posted that on Dec. 17th, and hasn't been back since...

I would not be surprised if this isn't a good deal, but if your parents did not give Absolute their credit card number, how did they get it?

If your parents think their CC is being charged without authorization, they should contact their CC company immediately and challenge the charges.

In the meantime, you should go through their paperwork with a fine tooth comb and see what they signed.

Good luck! :hi:
