Buying a timeshare may be an easy, hassle-free process but selling it is that much difficult. So, if you are struggling to sell your timeshare property remember you are not alone. There are so many people out there struggling to find a potential buyer to sell their timeshare. But the problem is something else. Today the number of timeshare selling scams is increasing day by day. So if you desperately want to get rid of your contract and trusting anyone as a selling agent then hold on to some patience. Not every person who commits you to sell your timeshare is a genuine agent. Rather they can get you into more trouble. There are so many dishonest people around whom we call scammers. Be aware of them. Here we are listing some ways to detect some such scammers.
A sudden call
It all starts from this. One fine morning you may receive a call and will speak to someone claiming themselves a timeshare selling agent. They will make an assurance that they will get you out of your timeshare contract soon. And you will start believing in their words. This scenario is the most common scenario of timeshare selling scams. At first, scammers always make a phone call and try to gain the trust of innocent people. If you also receive such calls verify their authenticity by visiting a solicitor.
Demands of advance payment
Scammers often demand an advance payment. Mostly they ask for a small amount and for being desperate to get rid of the contract you may agree to pay them that amount. And this is how you get trapped. Don’t pay any advance amount even if the amount is payable or small. This is a sign of scam that you should be aware of.
website link
Scammers often use this technique, don’t fall for it. After telephonic discussion they may say they are sending their business website link through a text message. Don’t click on that link as it can steal your personal information. Also don’t consider this website link as a proof of reliability. As anybody can make a website for their own sake, so it’s not proof of reliability.
Everything is too good to be true
Again a solid warning. Don’t get excited if it sounds a great deal. Remember only a few people get that lucky to earn profit through selling a timeshare contract. So if they offer a higher price than you have ever imagined, just wait there. Contact a legal advisor immediately and discuss the deal.
Hope all this advice helps you to spot these troublemaking scammers. Be aware, be safe.
