In reply to: ccn666 's message, "Re: LGM Timeshare scam" on Mon, Nov 10 2003, 18:42:14

I am a victim of the LGM's Trial Membership Program for the Concepts Vacation Club which I ended paying abt S$2,800.00 for "NO HOLIDAY" for 3 years.

Desperate attempts to book a holiday using this membership is a total disaster. My membership should due Jan 2004 and I was told recently that I wont make it to book a holiday now as it is "TOO LATE". As a trial member which have the least priority for bookings, even if we book 6 to 8 months ahead, we may not get our bookings at all.

On top of these, they actually wanted us to top up more money so as to increase our chances of getting our bookings .... ridiculous it may sound, but I still hoped to give them a last chance so that I can try YET AGAIN to savage this mess that I got myslef into ... minimising losses.

But after much effort to pursue my booking results for my year end holiday, they still did not manage to get me my bookings. I decided to throw the White Flag and consider myself just too gullible.

Final note : Sales Professionals like the staff of LGM should perhaps be engaged by Singapore Tourist Promotion Board to promote Singapore to the world. Probably this will increase our GDP.

I have had a similar experience to all of you, and want justice. Please keep us informed if we are meeting so we can discuss legal action.

Hi,

My girlfriend and her dad are also victim to this LGM scam. Please keep me inform on any updates. Like ccn666, they also hold the timeshare ownership for Calypso Plaza. Few months ago, LGM tried to get them to convert to CVC which they refused to and actually informed LGM of their interest to sell back the timeshare. The last I heard, a few days ago, was that LGM wanted to discuss to buy back the timeshare from them. But we are rather suspicious of their sudden changed of attitude, maybe like what the forum has discussed they will offer to sell their timeshare but at a fee, and there is also a fear that the cheque LGM issued could be bounced.

I was present at their last meeting and was really "pissed" off by their attitude and their sale technique. At the same time, it is really frustrating that nothing could be done against them.

Regards,
Ying Pin

Hi Ying Pin,

Please ask your girlfriend and her dad not to trust them. The best is not to talk to them, even over the phone, in short, cut the communication with them.

They will not buy back the unit they sold to you. They had told me this, "Why should we buy back the timeshare when we can collect yearly maintenance from our members?" In fact, the market for timeshare is flooded, many people want to sell but there is no taker. So, don't apporach those timeshare resale companies as well, as they are another group of blood suckers to cheat people.

If your girlfriend and her dad attend to LGM by accident, LGM would probably offer you cash back programme which is a new scheme of cheat to con people in. This is commonly used by quite a number of timeshare companies in Europe. You can visit http://www.timeshare.org.uk/ for more info.

If your girlfriend is interested in joining us, please register with hcspore03@yahoo.com.sg. Hopefully, these provides you and your girlfriend some thinkers.


Best Regards
Casey
