- Fact - The dollar amounts lost to timeshare exit scams pales in comparison to the dollar amounts lost believing timeshare sales agents.

We will not name the timeshare company, hoping they will help the family, but the Gomez family said they would like their story told. Mr. Gomez is 71, Mrs. Gomez 63. They are Arizona residents.

George Yamada, from last week's article, is also disabled due to Agent Orange. He lost over $50,000 to timeshare and, due to no secondary market, was forced to default on a timeshare loan over $50,000.

Mrs. Gomez called me last Wednesday evening. I had already surmised Mr. Gomez is an easygoing person. His reaction seemed more disappointment than anger when I told him he could have kept his prior timeshare with the $6,000 loan balance, as opposed to the $33,000 purchase with $28,000 financed and $4,500 charged to a credit card.

Mrs. Gomez reaffirmed my suspicion of Mr. Gomez's easygoing nature, saying,

"Leo is a very easygoing person - but I'm a teacher!"

A common complaint, "I don't like being made a fool of." We have not heard the last from Mrs. Gomez.
