Any timeshare owner who has expressed interest in selling their timeshare at some point or another, has been exposed to unscrupulous telemarketing practices from companies all over the globe, promising a sale if the owner pays hundreds of dollars (or even thousands) in upfront fees. Many timeshare owners don’t realize how solicitors acquire their contact information in the first place.
Their latest technique is quite ingenious: The solicitors design a website staged as a timeshare resale organization, often (but not always) with only 1 or 2 pages of content, and a convenient contact form for timeshare owners to complete and submit. The main function of these sites is to ‘harvest’ personal information. These information harvesters then sell the public’s personal information over and over again to timeshare solicitors all over the world, whose only purpose is to make contact with timeshare owners and charm them to extract several hundred or even thousands of dollars from them, right over the phone.
Remember: If you’re a timeshare owner, your personal information is a hot commodity! Personal information harvesters make big money selling timeshare owner contact information to companies worldwide. Once the personal information is submitted to the wrong parties, much to timeshare owners dismay, they are barraged with unwelcome phone solicitations from an array companies on a regular basis.
Because the lead harvesting industry has become so lucrative, harvesters have become quite brazen over the years. Many are now surfing the internet, randomly looking for personal information to collect and re-sell.
Timeshare owners who advertise their timeshares for sale or rent on Timeshare Giant do not need to divulge their contact information in their ads. If an interested party wants to inquire on their ad, the inquirer uses the ‘Inquire About This Timeshare’ function, and the inquiry is sent directly to the advertiser via email, in a secure environment.
If a timeshare owner wants to place their timeshare for sale or rent, they deserve to have a safe and legitimate place to do so. Timeshare Giant is that safe haven.
