If youre unclear on whether law enforcers are presenting a united front against travel-related fraud, then we have some oceanfront property to sell you.

Key Points:

If youre unclear on whether law enforcers are presenting a united front against travel-related fraud, then we have some oceanfront property to sell you.
One of the scams targeted by the latest law enforcement sweep involves bogus offers to resell peoples timeshares.
Heres how the operators work: They call timeshare owners and claim to have people lined up ready to pay top dollar for timeshares.
For an upfront charge often falsely characterized as filing fees or closing costs they promise to put them together with champing-at-the-bit buyers.
But once the check has been cashed, those eager buyers disappear only to be replaced with endless umms and uhhs from the marketers.
According to the FTC, one defendant avoided consumers complaint calls simply by putting them on hold indefinitely.
We hope your clients dont use tactics like that, but there are other points businesses should take from this announcement.
If you have clients who market timeshare or travel promotions, let them know about the reservations law enforcers have expressed about misleading claims.
