A "crime" first requires a law... (by KC):

I certainly understand your frustration, but the simple fact remains that these parasites are NOT "criminals", since they are NOT actually violating any laws (which is clearly a requirement for ANY criminal act). For these parasites to be "charged", it would first require an applicable statute, whose alleged violation appropriate authorities could then "investigate". In the absence of any such applicable statute(s), there simply is no legal avenue for either investigation OR prosecution.
Meanwhile, people continue to voluntarily CHOOSE to pay these parasites serious money for worthless, obscure advertising which will NEVER result in the sale of their timeshare. It's quite sad, but as P.T Barnum allegedly once said, "There's a sucker born every minute"...
