I don't think scam is the right word. Timeshare sales may be predatory, but they're not fraudulent.

- the_gorilla 2y agoCalling something a scam can just mean they profit off highly immoral behavior or are inherently deceptive. Loan sharks are scams. Pyramid schemes were scams, even when they weren't illegal.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y agoIt's wild that "predatory" doesn't sound at least as bad as "fraudulent". Customers aren't prey just as much as they're not people to be lied to!
- zeroonetwothree 2y agoScam is more general than outright fraud. I would say they mislead you about the financials enough to count.
- xnyan 2y agoI've never seen a single timeshare that makes sense in terms of cost to value ratio. There's always a more flexible/cheaper/profitable way to do whatever it is you're trying to do than a timeshare, unless of course you're the one selling it. Very fair to call it a scam.
