This case is further proof that reporting these scams is the number one way to stop them!
In July, the United States Justice Department filed suit against three Florida men who operated Real Timeshare Marketing, charging they represented that they had buyers for time-share units, solicited "closing costs" from consumers and then pocketed the funds. Justice Department attorneys said the scheme fleeced more than 600 victims of more than $1.3 million between Dec. 1, 2009, and April 28.
The indictment names Darnell Disroe, Michael Lentine, and Michael Starace as defendants.

Sentencing is set for as early as January 7, 2011.
