Are you a Timeshare User Sheep?
The Timshare Shepherd at TUG2
Now then; Have you ever heard about “Timeshare users group”? A.k.a. TUG2? Well, we can say it work technically the same way. You are the sheep in this case. And here's why:
Let’s say you got a timeshare, but the company is not fulfilling in the contract, so you can’t use your timeshare at all, the fees are getting expencier and expencier, so you want to do something about it, and then, you run out of options.
Now you don’t know what to do. You just need a comfortable place to get options and solutions, some help if it’s possible, so you find pages like RedWeek, TUG BBS and TUG2.
The Timeshare Community at TUG2
Getting into the TUG BBS homepage and joining the community is really easy, and you will be able to participate on the forum and talk to the users, comment and more.
But of course, that's not it. If you want to get the full experience you have to pay for a premium membership on TUG2. You will get full access to all reviews and you’ll be able to publish your timeshare looking for a client. So that way you can feel —special—.
I mean, there are different memberships, going from $15 to $49 a year, how can someone not afford that? Let’s get premium!
We totally love to be part of TUG2, or aren´t we?
At this point you would totally love to be part of it, because they have a free community to help you out! Sounds good! Let’s try our chances here, we just need… NO! Don’t do it! (Batman)
That's pretty much how the bait works.
They will treat you like a sheep. As we, ex tuggers, recommend you: don't be part of the herd. You won’t get any actual help on that site. Actually they will tell you there is no exit to your timeshare.
But how? may you ask, if it’s just $15 per year, and actually you can just join for free, how is that like a gold mine to anybody?
Well, to be clear, 15 bucks a year per user, saying there are at least 100,000 users, is already a lot of money.
The real reason tho, is the illegal private data traffic.
And that's only the beginning of the scam...
The only thing they need from you, is the information you leave there the moment you join the group. With that, they can sell it to timeshare companies seeking for people to sell their product.
That’s them don’t wanting you to leave the group. They keep getting money from you, and make you think you can’t cancel a timeshare by any means.
Illegal data traffic is something very common on the actual world, and you can believe us when we say that your information worths a lot for most of the sites on the web. That’s the reason why you NEED to put your data whenever you try to read articles, or join some kind of community.
In this case, they sell “leads.” Which they give to timeshare companies, so they may try to sell you a service, as mentioned before.
They sell it to dealers interested in your information to make calls, so they
try to sell whatever the hell they are selling.

The Example of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica
Facebook and Cambridge Analytica are two enterprises that did sell private information illegally. And like those two, there are many more.
You might not imagine how big this is, and how well that kind of information sells. There are companies that pay huge amounts of money to get information for possible clients. They make the money back when they successfully sell something to you as a user.
One of the Biggest Lies on TUG2
One of the biggest lies on TUG2, is that a cancellation is 100% impossible. That’s all you will hear inside the group, “rent, or resell, or even exchange, but you can’t cancel a timeshare.”
And they will swear to you that there is no possible way on doing it.
But the thing is, there are a lot of ways. Some of them very difficult, but worth the shot.
So, don't be fooled by TUG2, we can say, as ex members, that they don’t really want to help you. Not a single bit. So, avoid the group and don’t give up on trying a cancellation, because IT IS possible. Just a little hard to concrete. Do your research and you will found a way out soon.
And if you want more, there are other sites where you can find further information regarding TUG2 and its right arm the LTRBA are:
