buying a time share?

Apparently the cartels are into it now. When my wife and I were young, we were suckered into one of these high pressure sales situations (not cartel related back then). Luckily we held out, but it was quite a sophisticated set-up with bell ringing and champagne bottles popping.

C&P from the USA Today article:

“Few of the telemarketing firms have been criminally charged, partly because the business shape-shifts, abandoning shell companies and bank accounts as authorities identify them, then quickly creating new ones.”

Sounds like an area of expertise from the Biden family.
