Yes --- this is indeed the fundamental risk an owner assumes with any rental transaction using "escrow". While most tenants are honest, I for one will simply never accept the risk of a dishonest person trying to get themselves a free vacation at my expense by filing a completely bogus and fraudulent credit card charge dispute. Even when the timeshare owner ultimately wins that dispute, it still takes too much time and unwelcome aggravation to prevail. No thank you.
