I haven't seen where any state's government has helped clean up timeshares and all the lies and scams that exists in that industry.

There have been numerous testimonials from people that have gotten in touch with the Florida Attorney General's office with their timeshare complaints, but I've yet to read where anyone has been helped by that office or any other state's attorney general. The upfront fee parasites and the lies told by developer salespeople still exist. For some unexplainable reason these people continue getting away with their scams.

I do believe that a federal agency (don't know about the Federal Trade Commission) should set up strict guidelines concerning all phases of timeshare sales from the developer to resales and everything in between.
