Which brings to mind, is there an "easy" process to report scam operations to AG/Feds? This is one obvious one that should be turned in.
Now
this question is more in my bailiwick, but the answer is neither simple nor particularly heartening. The unfortunate short answer is basically
no.
In general (without delving sideways into "conspiracy", which is a somewhat different kettle of fish requiring two or more "players" and proof of some specific, overt action toward planned commission of a crime), law enforcement authorities (whether local, state or Federal) need evidence of an actual
violation of law before they can move to initiate prosecution. Sadly, in the timeshare arena, that evidence is usually in the form of multiple complainants who have
already lost money to a fraudulent operation and can / will now adequately document their unfortunate experience after the fact. A fraud case has certain requirements, but I will not elaborate any further on that matter, as I do not wish to in any way help to "educate" any lurking would-be (...or currently active) scammers.
It's hard to accept (in specific reference to the unconvincing shill for
Timeshare Release Now), but the mere creation of a lame web site with some (likely fabricated) testimonials, separately accompanied by a semi-literate shill song and dance routine on a Internet discussion forum, does not actually constitute a violation of law. Realistically, you can't productively report hungry morons to anyone in authority until or unless they have actually committed a crime. A crime which has not occurred is no crime at all, so it gets attention from
no one. There are no investigative resources
anywhere for crimes not yet committed.
Complicating matters in the sometimes murky world of timeshares is what the parasites
do for the money that they collect. For example, the (too many) PCC's and "relief / exit / escape" entities operate in a grey area. They take serious money from willing people who voluntarily pay it, but who often simply do not fully comprehend that they may ultimately receive nothing more than a web site listing, minimal advertising, or an
attempt to find a new recipient for the unwanted timeshare(s) via a one dollar sale listing on eBay. There is
no substantive, enforceable guarantee of success (a CYA made clear, in writing, within their contract). The upfront fee parasites who end up facing prosecution are generally the greedy and stupid ones, who basically just take money and then do
absolutely nothing.
That makes them eligible candidates for potential grand larceny and / or fraud charges at the local / state level. If there is interstate activity and / or use of the U.S. Mail in executing such a theft scheme, then FTC, USPS and DOJ also have something to sink their Federal teeth into --- and the Feds can bite quite hard.
"Viking Ship" operations, it can certainly be argued, are "fraud by design", but the people who
believe they've "escaped" their ownership by this avenue are not exactly lining up to file complaints with
anyone. On the contrary, they willingly pay money and then just quietly slink away, thinking "it's not
my problem now". Time passes, the ownership title is now muddy and the bogus LLC "grantee" may never ultimately be brought to justice (and may in fact never even be found).
That latter situation creates a legal mess requiring time (and cost) to untangle it. It stinks --- but it happens nonetheless in the sometimes murky world of timeshares if / when resort HOA's are not sufficiently eagle-eyed, attentive and closely monitoring and examining
all ownership transfers at their facility.
Anyway, I'm getting too long winded and I can see you dozing off over there (...yes,
you 
), so I'll get off my soap box and end my monologue here and now.
