Prestige Timeshare Marketing, Samantha Pierson Prestige Timeshare also ripped me off! Pompano Beach Florida

I filed a report with the F.B.I., The Florida Attorney General, abd the Dept. Of Agrigculture and Consumer Affairs. These were the 3 places I was told to report Prestige Timeshare ripping me and other people off. The response from the F.B.I. was that they did not have any open cases on these people. I find that hard to believe after all the people on this site who have said that they talked to the F.B.I.. As far as the Attny. General, he did respond back with a statement that basically said they received my report, and they are looking for others like it. I have not heard from the Dept. Of Agric. either. What needs to happen is that everyone of us has to send a report to all 3 of these agencies and then they might do someting. To get to the Attny. General, go to www.myfloridalegal.com and click on the upper right hand corner where it says to link to the Atty. General. To get to the F.B.I., you can call them @ 305-944-9101 or go to www.miami@ic.fbi.gov. To get to the Dept. of Agric. google Florida Dept. of Agric. and file your complaint there.

It looks like stength in numbers is the only thing that is going to take these people down, so I ask that everyone who has been affected to please tskr the above steps.

This is what the Attny. General sent me:

Our office reviews complaints to develop information about patterns of questionable business activities.
