FTC Secures $140 Million Judgment Against Timeshare Exit Scam Targeting Seniors

FTC Secures $140 Million Judgment Against Timeshare Exit Scam Targeting Seniors

A federal judge in Missouri has ruled against the president and CEO of a company involved in a timeshare exit scam that defrauded older adults of over $90 million. The defendants falsely claimed affiliations with timeshare companies and misled consumers into believing they could not exit timeshares without paying excessive fees. The scheme violated the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule by requiring consumers to sign non-cancelable contracts. The court's order permanently bans the defendants from selling timeshare exit services and mandates a $95 million consumer redress and a $45 million civil penalty.
