Bluegreen Resorts
Approached at a shopping mall Thanks for the warning

I was approached at a shopping mall in MN on Dec 18 by a representative of BlueGreen Resorts. I agreed to listen to the 90 minute sales presentation, and gave them $20, with a guarantee that the original $20 would be returned, plus an additional $45. I had every intention of going to the presentation, so I thought it a safe bet.
I came home and typed Bluegreen Resort into Google and found this web page. I want to thank everyone who wrote of their experiences and warned me before I made a very bad time and investment mistake.
I went to the presentation (they had my $20), but I came armed with a sample of comments from this website. When the sales representative approached me, I said to him, "let's not waste your time or mine... There is no way you are going to sell me anything because I did my homework." I showed him the printouts from this website. He left the room, consulted with his supervisor, and called me out of the presentation room.
The supervisor offered my the $20 back and tried to explain that everyone who has had a bad experience "doesn't know how to use the system." I think I should have been given the free vacation and the promised $45, in return for my silence, but I didn't push my luck.
So... A thank you to all of you who took the time to write about your experiences with Bluegreen. I hope others will do their homework prior to the presentation.
