A Breakthrough In Bringing Timeshare Scams To Justice

Florida Timeshare Scams are In Trouble
Florida which has been wrought with timeshare scams and fraud for many years, has finally taken a bold stance against these injustices. While this occurred in June, many timeshare owners are not aware of the law’s recent passing, and should be notified that this is wonderful, unprecedented progress against an industry that has scammed timeshare owners for years.

Florida Governor Rick Scott held a prominent ceremony to celebrate a stance against timeshare resale scams, and many ecstatic timeshare owners were in attendance. The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) has applauded the move against all those who seek profit by taking advantage of timeshare owners who have been scammed once, and should never be again.

The timeshare resale business is a bloated industry that has ironically become an entity that preys on the very consumers that they were formed to protect. Many timeshare owners want to sell or get out of their timeshare, and this industry was formed to help them overcome the titanic timeshare businesses and resorts that have placed them in a financial prison. However, deceitful scams have emerged that take advantage of this desperation and make bold claims and grand promises to this effect. This, in turn, allows them to make massive profits from already suffering timeshare owners while offering no actual help in return. It is a dastardly timeshare scam that has become much too prevalent.

The Timeshare Resale Accountability Act forces these companies to be much more transparent, drastically reducing the ability of these timeshare scams to surface. A few of these stipulations include the right for timeshare owners to get out of resale contracts, forces resalers to disclose all terms and conditions explicitly, and enforces harsh punishments upon any resale company that has engaged in underhanded tactics. This greatly boosts the ability of timeshare owners to recognize they are being scammed while discouraging any potential scammers from attempting to make a profit from the misery of those lured into timeshare contracts. June 25th, 2012 was a great day for Florida, and a devastating one for timeshare scams.

Again too little too late. The industry is the root of the problem, and the association the enabler by encouraging growth at whatever the cost. It really doesn't matter that in the industry the developers, and resorts have to lie their _____ off to make a sell. The association loves this because it gives them the appearance of really giving a hoot, but in reality, nothing has been done to fix the underlying problems with timeshares. Until the association, industry, resorts, and developers are reigned in, then the the resale scams will continue to spring up, and attempt to swindle people out of their hard earned money.
