I hunt con men. Therefore, after reading about this SC company, I decided to check it out. They did bribe me to come in. No laptops, just dinner for 2, carriage ride or both. Obviously its a sales pitch. I sat through the 80's style time sharish pitch. It was not high pressure. I was amused at the buy today only pitch but it was explained they have invested quite a bit in my presence. Lots of employees and I'm sure the building ain't cheap so I couldn't blame them for wanting my money "today". After the presentation, I sat with a young lady who went through the program in detail with me and asked me where I liked to travel. We went live on the internet to price multiple condos and hotels. It appeared I could make reservations at will and the prices were cheap. At "closing time", I was give a "review" sheet to make sure I understood what they were selling, affirmed I could afford it, was told if I bought and walked out the door I could not get my money back. They made certain that nothing was misrepresented by anyone. I asked who owned the business and was told a guy from the "corporate" office was there and I was allowed to talk with him. He did not hide and was very cordial. When I said it wasn't for me, they made one last attempt to swing me but I politely said no. They handed me my envelop with free gift for which I politely declined because I kind of conned them. CONCLUSION: No scam here. Just an old school vacation club. Based on what I've seen in the Time Share business its not a bad deal. Compared to gypsy companies selling vacation clubs, this one at least maintains a long term physical presence and isn't hiding. People may be pissed at their purchase but it is not because they were scammed.
