All Time sharing vacation clubs are almost the same...lure u & sweet talk you...Once u joined them, all the promises not fulfill suc as:

1) Promised 7 days stay but din mentioned only 2 days weekend!!
2) The ever increase yearly maintenance fee...Ranging from RM270 & higher but no renovation as promised
3) U need to book early (Atleast 6-9mth in advance or else no unit available
4) After taking a/c the oppotunity cost on the advances paid, the cost per room which they said about RM70-RM90 per day actually can comes to RM100/day instead...(OK-lah but not as cheap as u expected)
5) No breakfast..u hv to buy your own so if added in the room cost probably RM150!!

Normal Vacation club (Time sharing) and those Hotel vouchers style of marketing. Nothing new.

Haha.. normally the Term & Condition include:

- Must used within short period of time..~ 2-3 mths from the date
- No weekend and all Weekdays
- No School Holidays and must be booked atleast months before..

So imagine.. they give you the voucher valid for 3 mths and you listen to the talk in Nov- School holiday..and you need atleast 1-2 mth notice..

So basically the 1st 2 mths you can't exercise the option and since you need advance booking and let say January got lotsa Holiday inc Chinese New year... The voucher as good as "burnt"

I used to go to such talks decade ago and exercise only 3 out of the 5 - 6 of the free stays..

2 vouchers gone bcos of te stupid T&C ..darmit

1 free stays- Bali hotels for 5 nights- yes- I did when but the due to the date not coincide with Air Asia promo, I have to buy expensive air tickets to goto Bali... Ended up, this free stays in Bali more expensive than my earlier year holiday to Bali..darm

Thread merged. From your describtion, the modus operandi is similar to Nigerian scam i.e someone manage to get your detail & start sending spam email similar to the one happening in mudah.com.my

They normally responded to the advert and asking you to deposit certain amt...Those believing this scam will pay 1st & no more receiving any email or even can't contact the person anymore.. I will rather you not entertaining such call asking you to deposit or send goods 1st b4 pyt.

Read some of almost similar modus operandi i.e the Nigerian scam in mudah.com.my:
