Saw this in the Sunday Times.

Thought it might be a good item for members to read.
It just might save someone being taken in.

Also the Timeshare touts?
We were in Benalmadena just about to go in the Dolphin Marina when some guy gives us these scratch cards! One each for me my wife and my daughter! Mine and my daughters were 'unlucky' but guess what? My wifes won the best possible prize. Luckily we knew about the scam and let him continue on with his speech. He said he could swap the winning ticket for 3 Marina dolphin tickets but we had to go with him to the HQ!
I basically told him to **** off.
Now you wouldn't believe how many people were being suckered in by this con on holiday!
Brilliant article FWH. The timeshare touts are the very first one on the list aka holidayclubs (posh word for timeshare) s c a m s.
Yeah but it doesn't mention anything about how they catch you with the scratch cards! (the biggest way to get you to the meetings). They just say, you're invited!
