Special ALERT !
Membership Resale Scheme -— Again....

Beware of unscrupulous sales tactics of some campground membership resellers. We have had several complaints from people across the country about campground membership "Resellers", They have again started canvassing campground membership owners with an offer to sell their membership for them.

The catch is that they want money "up-front", as much as $250 - $650 and more, to list the membership for sale. This scheme seems to intensify each Spring. Most of these memberships never get sold. This is simply a grab for the 'up-front' money.

Favorite targets are people who were once members of campgrounds that have gone bankrupt or are in financial trouble. The companies get list of members or former members and use that as a list of sales leads. Victims are lured by the prospect that they might salvage some kind of value for what would otherwise be a worthless membership that cost them thousands of dollars.

The sales tactics of these companies are slick, compelling, and aggressive. DON'T GET HOOKED by the scam artists. If they are so good at selling memberships, why don't they get their fee from the proceeds of the sale?

Be alert - Contact your friends - Spread the word...
