How to Detect a Timeshare Scammer.
If you are reading this, it is more than likely that you have already fallen victim to a timeshare claim scam or are currently in contact with someone trying to do so! Unfortunately, you are not alone. Hundreds of timeshare owners contact us monthly to check if they have been or are about to be scammed. Making that check with us has meant we have been able to save people thousands of pounds and help many others recover their money.
Many of the people we have managed to help are the elderly and vulnerable that criminals in the UK, Tenerife and Spain target on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most victims have been caught up in 'Recovery Room Fraud'. Meaning that they have been scammed several times by several companies promising they can recover the money from the previous scam. Our intelligence suggests that criminals are just changing their names and defrauding the same victim multiple times.
The following red flags are signs that you have been or are about to be scammed.
1. You have been cold called.
2. You have been told that you still own your timeshare.
3. You have been told you are on the 'timeshare register'.
4. You have been subjected to a sales presentation on zoom.
5. You have been scared and bullied into believing falsehoods.
6. They have asked for an immediate payment.
7. They have asked for upfront fees to make a claim.
8. They are not FCA or SRA regulated
9. Asked you to pay brexit fees or court fees to release you money.
10. They told you that they represent a government body.
11. They already know that you have been scammed before.
12. Already know your personal details.
