The above thread contains the most recent posts by Timeshare Relief, the company that charges owners $3,995 to "buy back" their weeks.

It is obvious that owners/employees of this company are being encouraged to go to TUG and bring up old threads about them and post as owners who used this route to get out of their timeshares.

I will now receive a bunch of private emails and PM's from these two because they do the same thing each time, harrass me with their supposed "stories," insisting that I am wrong, they genuinely needed to pay to get rid of their timeshare because they had no time and no money to use them.

Now KBailey is referring to our argument as the losing side. I am very angry about this one. I saw that Steve Nelson posted on that thread. Thanks for that, Steve. We just need to make sure that everyone knows what scum these guys are.

Yes, there are really people who do pay these scammers to take their timeshares, otherwise we wouldn't be able to buy Hawaii weeks on ebay for so cheap. These are desperate people who do not know how to use their timeshares and are frustrated by the system. If they happened to find TUG after paying that money, they would probably be too embarrassed to tell all of us what they did. Why seek out a Timeshare Usergroup, after you did that? You wouldn't. The naive just remain naive.

Timesharing Today had an article about them in the last issue, one I criticized on TUG, which prompted many emails to me by various supposed people who sold their timeshares. I am tired of this company and consider them harassers. I am bracing for an influx of nasty emails from poor single moms who were desperate to get rid of their weeks.

Any thoughts?

Well, I for one, most certainly agree with you, that these companies are scammers. There may be a few green weeks which have no value and you'd need to pay someone to take them off your hands. But, these companies say that about all weeks which are offered to them. IMHO, that makes them SCAMMERS!!

I won't point fingers but I think they might be posting on this site as well. Time will tell if I am correct.

I had noticed the suspicious posts by the "supporters" of Timeshare Relief there as well. They are going to have to work a little harder not to be so obvious. They've come to the wrong places if they think that the timeshare owners here and there are not savvy enough to notice what they are trying to do. Sorry that you are also having to deal with them off the forums as well. Hopefully the threads will show up when people considering using their "services" Google their companies.

Well, that is a wonderful thought. I would love for the words Timeshare Relief to come up on a Google search and have people warned off by them. That would be a great thing. Perhaps this was meant to happen.

Well, I got my postcard just minutes ago and have nothing better to do than to mess with them. Should I go get my GAS card and then picket the Hampton Inn, 5311 Buckeystown Pike, Frederick, MD? Should I picket them on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

To bad I didn't order a TS4Ms mug to use while I sat at their table/presentation.

From their postcard:

Timeshare Ownership... Not the slice of paradise you thought it would be?
Friends don't let friends buy timeshares.

When it comes to your timeshare, obey the signs.
Get Out of that Timeshare and
Never Pay Maintenance Fees Again.

Timeshare maintenance fees continue to Climb, while your timeshare gathers dust. If you are interested in getting out of your timeshare, then you will want to talk to us.


If you accept our offer, you will not be responsible for future maintenance fees or special assessments. No hassle and simple paperwork spells immediate relief. We will be in your area making offers on timeshares on the following dates:

October 27th and 28th.

Timeshare Relief is not a listing company.
If you'd like to see better signs ahead, call us now:
1-800-720-1412
Timeshare Relief, INC
2239 West 190th Street * Torrence, CA 90504
Your timeshare must be paid in full and your current maintenance fees up to date.

We are so confident in our unique approach to getting you out of your timeshare, we will pay for your gas to come see us with a FREE $25 Gas Card.

There is limited availability so call today!

According to the sweet lady on the phone, they do not buy or sell timeshares, they are a transfer company, and they have tax strategies that will get me a percentage of my money invested in my timeshare. Bring all my paperwork. Do you still use your timeshare? Are you the only owner?


Anyone got any GOOD ideas?

I need good ideas more than I need the mug by Friday.

Gosh, Spence, I don't know how you can stop these sleazes from presenting their supposed "offers" to these people that might pay to have someone take their timeshares. You can include different resale websites as well.

I think a flyer with some information about TUG and this site might be helpful. You could tell them before they go in that the company is not going to pay them for their weeks, that it will be the other way around.You can include different resale websites as well.

What if every TS4Ms member called the Hampton Inn Manager and complained?

Take some fake deeds with fun names, like Utah Shack, Swampland by the Sea, etc.

Take friends so everyone can have a fake deed and get gas money.

See if they'll still take it if you owe 2 yrs maint.

Explain that one was demolished by a hurricane, but it being rebuilt.

Have one owned by your late uncle that's a RTU that already expired (but you conveniently don't understand).

I think they would take any timeshare in any condition.

Be sure to take tax forms and find out exactly where to enter your deduction (or, 'strategy').

Hopefully the threads will show up when people considering using their "services" Google their companies.

Not at this moment, only tug1 shows. Although if doing Yahoo search, one post in this forums do show up. Really don't know how these search engine works.

Some of you already know this, but they are back on TUG again today, talking up their business and accusing those of us who own and love timeshares of profiting from timeshare sales.

I am so over it! I really despise these people.

Why are they allowed to continue their charades?
