Andrew Connor Featured in AARP on Time-Share Exit Scams
If you are trying to get out of a timeshare, you have probably already seen the ads. They are on TV, online, on social media, and in your mailbox. A lot of them make big promises. They say they can get you out fast. They say they have a special system. They say they know someone on the inside.
Why AARP Covered Timeshare Exit Scams
Timeshare exit scams have become a serious problem, especially for people who are already frustrated with rising maintenance fees or a contract they no longer use.
The article points out that there is no reliable data on how widespread these scams are, but consumer protection groups see them regularly. Many people do not realize they are being misled until the money is gone and nothing has been done.
What Attorney Andrew Connor Sees Every Week
In the article, Andrew explains that he hears from people in this situation on a regular basis. Many of them have already paid thousands of dollars to a company that promised to get them out of their timeshare.
Some were told there was a buyer lined up. Others were told legal action would be filed on their behalf. In many cases, nothing actually happens after the payment is made.
Once that money is gone, it is very difficult to recover.
Time Share Exit Warning Signs and Red Flags
The AARP piece walks through several common warning signs. One is anyone who contacts you out of the blue and claims they can help you sell or exit your timeshare. Another is a company asking for money up front, especially by wire transfer. Another is a seminar or presentation that promises easy answers and pushes you to act right away.
We tell people what we do, what we do not do, what it costs, and what to expect. If we think you need legal help, we will say so. If we do not, we will tell you that too.
If you are exploring your options, this AARP article is a good place to start. It gives a clear overview of how these scams work and what to watch for before you hand over money to the wrong company.
