Imagine if you purchased a timeshare with a beautiful view and had been promised that the view would never be obstructed only to find out the vacation resort timeshare planned to build another building that would obstruct your view as soon as all the timeshare units in your building were sold. This is what has happened to several thousand timeshare owners as updated on Timeshare Trap. Yet another reason you should always get all promises in writing if you decide to purchase a timeshare (although I highly recommend that you don't)

Our sister site the Timeshare Trap has been updated with a mention of a huge timeshare scam broken up in Europe that is believed to have cost thousands of people their life savings. As I have mentioned a number of times, timeshare resort vacations are a subject that I probably receive the most mail about with people desperately trying to get out of their timeshare units. While they may seem to have appeal at first glance, take the time to thoroughly research and you'll likely find that they are not something you want to get involved with if you don't want to waste your money.

When it comes to mail I receive, timeshares questions and how to get out of them still lead the list. It seems that a lot of people are having trouble with RCI and trading with different resorts for their timeshare week - so much so that a class action suit has been filed against RCI claiming that RCI takes the best weeks for themselves and resells them instead of letting people trade them. I placed up another post on Timeshare Trap about this.

For anyone who thinks that a timeshare is a good way to go, take my advice and pass - with all the mail and sad stories I get, you certainly do not want to be one of them.

By far the most email I get from people is concerned with timeshares and how to get rid of them. I updated
