Share some timeshare sales pitch horror stories.
One horror story is when a couple was lured with the promise of a free vacation. But during the sales pitch, they were held for hours in a small room with high - pressure tactics. The salespeople wouldn't let them leave, even when they said they were not interested. They kept pushing different offers and raising their voices, making the couple feel extremely uncomfortable and intimidated.
A family went to a timeshare sales pitch thinking it would be a nice presentation. Instead, they were bombarded with complex contracts full of fine print. The sales team made it seem like they were getting a great deal, but after signing, they found out there were a lot of hidden fees. They also had trouble getting any information about how to use their timeshare properly, and when they tried to cancel, they were given the run - around by the company.
I heard of a timeshare sales pitch where they told a single mom that it was the best investment for her future and her kids. She was made to believe that if she didn't sign up right away, she would miss out on a great opportunity. They showed her false data about how much money she could make by renting it out. But in reality, when she tried to rent it later, there were no takers, and she was stuck with high - maintenance fees.
What are the common elements in timeshare sales pitch horror stories?
High - pressure sales tactics are very common. Like not letting people leave until they consider buying. Another is false promises, such as guaranteed returns on investment or easy rental options that turn out to be untrue.

There was a couple who were initially skeptical of timeshares. But the sales rep told them about a special timeshare deal that included a free upgrade for the first five years.

This convinced them to purchase, and they now look forward to their annual vacations at the timeshare property.

One funny timeshare story is when my family went to a timeshare resort. We were promised a luxurious ocean - view room. But when we got there, our 'ocean - view' was mostly a view of a big dumpster and a tiny sliver of the ocean. We laughed so hard at the misrepresentation.

Share some sales tax audit horror stories.
There was a restaurant that got audited for sales tax. They were used to a simple way of calculating sales tax based on their total sales. But the auditor dug deeper and found that they were not charging sales tax correctly on some add - on items like special sauces or premium toppings. This led to a long and drawn - out audit process. They had to pay back taxes, and it also damaged their reputation a bit as customers heard about the audit and were worried about the restaurant's financial stability.
