Some 83 civil cases have been filed in 28 states and more than 184 people are facing criminal charges in federal and state court. In the timeshare resale cases, “boiler room” operations were set up to call timeshare owners to sell the properties for a “deposit” of hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.

The FTC announced it won restraining orders against three companies alleged to have taken more than $18 million from victims without selling their properties. All three companies' assets were frozen by federal judges.
