Internet shills are as common these days as internet trolls. Both cause problems for genuine blogs and websites, but they seem to be here to stay for the foreseeable future. While sites like TripAdvisor are doing all they can to weed out these scammers from their pages, readers should keep in mind that the comments left on web articles are often sprinkled with comments from shills and trolls. One of the most common types of shills are those involved in promoting the services of timeshare cancellation companies.
What
are Mexican timeshare solution shills?
Most of us are familiar with internet trolls
who leave comments looking for a fight. Trolls will usually write something
offensive or provocative to get a response. Often, internet trolls are working
for their own sick pleasure, however, shills have a different motive. Shills
are paid to leave comments on articles, forums and websites for a particular
purpose. Mexican timeshare solution providers are particularly known for using
shills to comment on their own websites as well as on a number of timeshare
complaint forums.
How do
Mexican timeshare solution shills operate?
The way that Mexican timeshare solutions
shills operate is to leave damning comments about timeshare companies on a
number of websites, including TripAdvisor, complaint forums and any kind of
website where people might look for advice about timeshare issues. They will
often target the most reputable and popular timeshare companies as they know
they will have more chance of reaching more people.
Shills will often work in pairs. The first
shill working for a Mexican timeshare solution scam will write a complaint
about a vacation club and express displeasure about their membership on the
premise that they are looking for timeshare advice. This already has a damaging
effect on an otherwise reputable company. Then the comment will be responded to
by another shill who will recommend they use XXX timeshare cancellation
services in order to cancel membership that (in most cases) can no longer be
cancelled.
An example of a timeshare cancellation shill
scam:
Shill A
I want to cancel my membership with Big Life Timeshare.
What can I do?
Shill B
You should contact Caribe Timeshare Solutions. I had the
same problem but they were fantastic. A total godsend. Caribe Timeshare
Solutions were able to cancel my
timeshare with no upfront fees. I was desperate, just like you. I am so happy I
used their services. Follow this link …
You get the picture. Sometimes the first
complaint is from a genuinely unhappy client, and the Mexican timeshare
solution company takes advantage of their situation but replying with a shill.
The reality is that the timeshare cancellation company cannot cancel your
timeshare after the cooling off period has passed, and they are simply out to
take your money, using all kinds of methods to convince you that they are
genuine, including fake reviews and comments on websites and timeshare forums.
The moral of the story is to beware Mexican
timeshare Solution shills. For more information about how to identify is
