The timeshares to avoid are the mass-market ones. If they sent you a flyer promising a free weekend vacation for attending their seminar, you should just pass.
A co-worker bought into one of these and regretted it. Her timeshare is legit and not a scam as such, but she found that she could never secure a prime location at the time she wanted. The best resorts were always taken because she was competing with retirees who could book well in advance for long stretches.
When she and her husband are able to book a stay, the location is never where they really want to go, and they have to bend their schedules in able to do so.
Some years they have not gone at all due to these complications, and still have to pay for it. Definately a poor investment if you ask me.
Only buy on a trusted recommendation or after some hard research.
