It’s good to see Brian Scroggs (Vacation Consulting Services, LLC, and The Transfer Group, LLC) out of Springfield, Missouri get indicted! Sadly, it’s a game of whack-a-mole, but I hope the message is starting to get out there to owners NOT to give money to these “timeshare relief” scammers!

I suspect if he had paid the payroll taxes nothing would have ever happened. When you start stealing from Uncle Sam, then they start to pay attention. They will let you steal from the minions, almost forever...

That is how they got Al Capone - tax evasion. Since he could not report how he got the money, the govt just had to follow the money.

I agree with you. That said, it isn’t easy for a scammer to turn on/off their scamming ways. All this guy knows is to steal money whether it be from a timeshare owner or the IRS. Probably also stole from his grandmother and failed to pay the girl scout for the cookies he got too.

I feel he was on a payment plan and he fail to pay IRS and IRS took this person to federal court. He lost.
