In this article on eTenerife, I mentioned the ’suckers’ list and how having once fallen prey to the timeshare crooks a person’s name can be added to a list of gullible or vulnerable people for the same bunch of villains to defraud a second time. These lists are even sold on to other gangs who are quite willing to pay top dollar for a collection of names of people who have bought into the timeshare or holiday club scam in the past.

An article on Typically Spanish reports on a group of 50 or more people who have lost a total of €1.5million on a timeshare resale fraud seems to be an example of the the suckers list in action. According to Typically Spanish the investigation into the case resulted in the arrest of seven Tenerife residents.
