Been told you are on the timeshare register?
As you may have already suspected, there is no such thing as a timeshare register. This increasingly common scare tactic is used by timeshare criminals to elicit huge upfront payments for non-existent timeshare exit and claim services.
In the first four months of 2023, we have already prevented and recovered over £400,000 for victims of this particular type of fraud. The most common targets of this fraud are ex-timeshare owners, who are scared and bullied into believing that they are liable for huge maintenance debts.
The main 'hotspots' for timeshare scams are Tenerife, Mallorca and mainland Spain. Although many of the timeshare exit and claim companies may be 'registered' in the UK, they are operated from abroad and use spoof telephone systems to hide there real location.
Impersonation scams are increasing throughout the UK and timeshare scams are at the forefront of this.
Fortunately for many of the victims, we have been able help them recover their money and get them back on track.
Prevention is better than cure, as such, always ignore the information provided by cold callers and never pay upfront fees.
Genuine companies and government departments will never cold call you.
