Tips on avoiding timeshare resale scams
With the current economic environment, it becomes difficult to sell your timeshares without getting conned. Constrained finances lead households into desperate situations, where they can be easily taken advantage of. To avoid scams, you should consider your legal options. So, the first step is to get a lawyer that you can trust. One thing you can be sure of, is that there is no such thing as an upfront fee.
