Re: Upfront fee resale companies are against the law in Florida .... report them ASAP (by R P.):

Good night alive, you mean this statute took effect in 1995 but it's evidently meaningless since upfront fee resale companies are still in operation in Florida and are scamming people left and right .... SOMEBODY IN FLORIDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION ... this is one of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard ... what governmental body in Florida polices companies and businesses that outright ignore that state's legislation?
