How to prevent fund-raising fraud in timeshare?

Timesharing is to divide the rooms or tourist apartments of hotels or resorts into several weeks, and transfer the right to use them to customers in a one-time manner according to the cycle of 10 to 40 years or even longer. Members get 7 days' stay in hotels or resorts every year.

Mr. and Mrs. Li signed a "timeshare" travel contract with a travel consulting company in Beijing. After paying 25,000 yuan to the travel consulting company, Mr. and Mrs. Li became members of the company and enjoyed the right to stay in the hotel for seven days every year for five years. On the same day, Mr. Li signed a tripartite agreement with a hotel and tourism consulting company in Shanghai, stipulating that Mr. Li would become a member of a hotel in Shanghai, and the tourism consulting company would collect a "membership fee" of 25,000 yuan on his behalf. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Li sued the court on the grounds that one of them was seriously ill and could not act, demanding the termination of the contract. The court finally supported Mr. and Mrs. Li's request to terminate the contract.

The judge of Xicheng Court suggested that timesharing only started to enter China in recent years, and some consumers lacked understanding about it. Therefore, when signing a timeshare contract, we should raise our awareness of risk prevention, see clearly the termination of the contract, breach of contract and other aspects, and beware of being deceived. "Timeshare is still in the development stage in China, and the development of the industry is still immature. In addition, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish. Many criminals have taken advantage of this loophole to defraud money in the name of timesharing. Consumers should pay special attention to discrimination. "
