Please be aware of the following pulled from BBB.gov upon searching for Premium Timeshare Depot, LLC: (http://centralflorida.app.bbb.org/newsearch2.asp?ComID=073300175003582) the State of Florida - the collection of advanced listing fees from Florida residents, regardless of the location of the property, and owners of Florida timeshares is prohibited. Section 721.20(6), Florida Statutes, prohibits the collection of any advance fee for the listing of any timeshare estate or timeshare license, and requires that any seller of a timeshare plan be a licensed real estate broker, broker associate or sales associate as defined in Section 475.01, Florida Statutes."

If that's the case, then why haven't all upfront fee companies in Florida, that are still in operation and are rampant across that state, been arrested and jailed if what they are continuing to do what is against the law? How are they continuing to get away with their scams?

I don't know the answer to your question jayjay, but I have to assume most of these predators target individuals who don't live in Florida and aren't aware of the law. I had no idea until I read the entire page on Florida's BBB report for PTD. Consequently, there is no report filed with the police. I also assume that each offense would be considered insignificant by police departments due to the nature of the crime and the small amount of money involved.
