Marriott timeshare sales are racketeering scheme, new lawsuit says


Proposed class action targets Marriott, First American, Orange County FL
Marriott Vacation Club's timeshare sales are actually an illegal "racketeering" scheme, a new proposed class-action lawsuit says.
The lawsuit takes aim at Marriott's points program, which replaced traditional sales of timeshare weeks at specific resorts in 2010. According to the suit, Marriott timeshare customers pay fees associated with owning real estate — such as closing costs and recording fees — but don't actually own any real estate.
