Police Raid Timeshare Office in Orlando
Today' evening news in Orlando reported that an illegal Timeshare office was raided. There are over 1000 victims and the office netted about $129,999 profit per week. Employees tried to destroy records but the raid netted bags of records, including some hidden in the attic. Most of those arrested looked like youger men. More detailed information will probably be reported in tomorrow's newspapers

Closing down no big deal because these companies move anyway when it starts getting to hot for them. Hope they get large fine and jail time because this is only way to stop these scams.
They need to do same thing with all the employee's who understand what their doing to people too! Hope they also have IRS looking into all these people because I doubt these people declare much on taxes either.

If you could get the likes of RCI, II, DAE, and other large exchange companies to put out info about the timeshare sales scams these types of scum will continue to rake in 100K a week in thefts.
even then people will send money to someone they do not know on a promise to sell their unit and wind up getting screwed out of even more money.
post this video on craigslist in your town and maybe someone will wise up and not pay them more money. but we all know that will never happen.
