Wyndham Timeshare Scam

The Most Brutal Sales Presentation in the Industry 

The Wyndham timeshare scam is well documented in timeshare forums and complaint boards throughout the internet. When I decided to research the subject, I was quite startled by the degree and nature of the Wyndham timeshare scam. Usually, timeshare scams are noted for hard sales tactics, but these issues pale in comparison to the fraud that occurs once the contract is signed.

The Wyndham timeshare scam is very different. Little is said about their hidden fees and deadlocked contracts. A complaint here and there, but the contract is not the main issue with the Wyndham timeshare scam. Instead, forums are littered with frustrated and outraged consumers who were promised free “vacations” for their timeshare presentations, only to be bullied, pressured, insulted, and even ejected. 

The Source of the Wyndham Timeshare Scam

Wyndham Timeshare Scam
Most timeshare scams work by luring customers in with false promises and misrepresentation about the nature of timeshares. Those who attend timeshare presentations are told that timeshares are a good investment, and can be sold anytime for a profit. The Wyndham timeshare scam works by offering a beautiful vacation simply for attending a presentation. Little do consumers know, they are walking into a nightmare.

Most of the contracts signed with Wyndham not only involve fraud, but hard-line sales tactics that seem borderline illegal. One very level headed consumer claimed to have been verbally assaulted and insulted at the presentation. Once it became clear that they would not purchase a Wyndham timeshare, they were ejected from the building and their vacation revoked. We advise anyone to stay away from timeshare presentations, but especially from Wyndham. The Wyndham timeshare scam is colossal, intimidating, and ensures anyone who attends their presentations are in for a nasty experience.

Please share! Have any of you experienced the torment of the Wyndham timeshare scam?

This is so ugly. Can you get a credit card chargeback on any of these $40 upfront fees they charge you upfront if you do not go if sales person lied to you?

One of the most common scams at the moment of purchase is that Viva Wyndham Maya´s sales person will make you any verbal promise to get you to sign their contract

Thousands of International travelers, particularly from the US and Canada, have fallen victims oftimeshare fraud while vacationing. Resort developers hire skilled salesmen to represent their timeshares as many different attractive packages, such as financial investments, deeded properties, or vacation clubs, just to increase their sales.

I fell victim to this Wyndham scam. Brutal sales presentation with rotating salesmen. All lied. Cost lots of money for 2 days every other year in Myrtle Beach. Complaints to Wyndham end up with them telling you that you have no proof of misconduct, which is true. If you buy points, you have nothing tangible, and they oversell all sites.

We just went to Wyndhaam Smoky Mtns. to get some assistance on how to use our points and ended up with 5 hours of high-pressure sales pitches wanting us to upgrade by $23,00.00 to have a better chance to get to stay where we wanted to and reduce our maintenance fees. Also pushed to upgrade to leave a vacation to our children. These people are liars, vicious financial advisers, aand not to be trusted.
