phone service provider eg Telstra/Optus or whoever. There is a telecommunications act that deals with nusiance and threatening calls and they can intervene regarding the text messages.
Don't know how realistic is that she'd be met at the airport if she went back to Bali, but I can understand that she feels threatened as she has probably provided her details to the time share company.
I doubt that the time share company will go away as she is contractually bound and the company has a right to expect the payments she agreed to make by signing the contract.
Sounds like she didn't even read the contract to check that there really was an "out" or "cooling off" clause if hubby wasn't happy.
She could try contacting the federal police as they may be able to offer her some advice. Don't know if the Aust Consulate would investigate Danielle's role in this situation but the AFP should be able to advise. Your friend will only one of a number of Danielle's victims.
People get sucked into these situations everywhere, not just in Bali.
Sure pays to be assertive doesn't it!!!
