Timeshare scams are growing in number. To avoid these scams, you should take several things into consideration:

•    Be wary of unsolicited emails, phone calls, and unbelievable deals
•    Remember to get all details of timeshare deals in writing
•    Free vacations are probably too good to be true. These are usually ploys to obtain your credit card information.
•    Double check the company with the Better Business Bureau before you pay any fees.
•    Use your credit card. If you feel you’ve been swindled, inform the credit card company immediately.

These are just some of the things you should watch out for.
