I went for a timeshare presentation as well. They kept calling me before that, at least 3 times, reminding me to go because, "the guy is supposed to be on leave but cancelled so that he can share with you the benefits." Turned out to be a girl attending to me. Got suspicious after that.
After 3-4 hrs of refusing to reveal the membership fee, she finally called her sales manager out and the manager quoted me 30-40k same as the rest of the people here. I laughed and said no way. The manager tried to sell me some bull**** about since i'd been listening for so long i should pay as the company was a "rolex" and so deserved the high fees. I didn't quite understand the logic.
Anyway, after i said no again, she just ignored me and told the girl, "u settle this". The girl tried to act pitful and again used the fact that i had been sitting down for so long to convince me. I pretended to agree and the manager came back. The manager straight away asked if i had a POSB everyday card. I said no. She THREW the application form in front of me and asked to sign up saying that i can pay in installments. I refused. She looked pissed but tried to convince me saying that i can sell the travel packages to my friends so that i can get some money. She showed me some rough workings but i could see that the profit was maybe $200-300 a year. Too little, the bulk would be earned by the company. Plus i would be helping the company to cheat my friends.
In the end i made it clear that i would not be signing and she started to go crazy, scolding the girl who did the presentation. The other clients were shocked and stared at her. Hopefully that woke them up not to sign. I had to show myself out after that as they disappeared.
Nowadays when i receive such calls i just agree to attend the presentation at after office hours like 7-8pm but never turn up.
