I understand your concern about malicious intent to posts like mine, but I can assure you that this is legit. Our family has a timeshare at the Welk resort in Escondido which we are not currently using. I reserved the week around the SDCC since someone may benefit from an extended vacation at a location that is near San Diego. Folks can reply to me directly if they have an interest in using the timeshare week during the SDCC, but do not want to click the link to information on Redweek. This said, in general, you have noted a legitimate concern about security. - Kent
