PLEASE READ.!!! TIMESHARE & HOLIDAY CLUBS

by **Dill60** on Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:16 pm

Hi all,

My husband had a call at the beginning of the month to tell us that I had entered a competiton and won a holiday. Well, he knew that wasn't true and as we have been down this road before (and been conned) he decided to play along.
We were invited along to a presentation (definitely not timeshare, well maybe if we wanted to join), on the 19th of August, couldn't go then as we would be on our way to Malta, well then maybe the 17th or 18th. OK, fine. Then he was asked what his job was. He told the nice lady he was a reporter for a local newspaper and would it be ok to wright a report on the presentation?
The phone went dead.
Worth a try when telephoned or even when away and approached by a timeshare tout.

PS Fred2 is the best and gave us sound advice when we got in trouble with DWVC a few years ago.

I bought into travel emporium and have had several very good holidays and just paid 80 euros per year management fees. The holidays gave a very good saving and we has no complaints, I received a letter saying there was a takeover and could sell my membership for around £8000. I said I would be interested in selling and approx 5 weeks later I had a phone call from Leisure Time Management saying they had a buyer offering £6000. I contacted Travel Emporium who said that my name and address had been forwarded to them as a potential seller. I sent the 1200 euros by credit card and the certificate and received a call when they had received them. They have contacted me since asked for and Iban no and said my no was with the Co-operative Bank which I has not told them. They said my buyer had compled the deal and the money would be in the bank on approx 10th Sept 2008. After reading the reviews I am hoping that this is not a scam !
