Metro East federal prosecutors indicted three Florida men last Wednesday for allegedly conning people across the country for more than $1 million through timeshare scams.
Darnell Disroe, Michael Lentine, and Michael Starace ran Real Timeshare Marketing, which used a telemarketing operation to contact timeshare owners.
According to reports, the company claimed that they found buyers for timeshare and asked owners to pay closing costs and other expenses.
However, there was no buyer for the timeshare property. Real Timeshare Marketing then kept the money.
In a span of five months, the scam reeled in more than $1 million with 615 victims in 46 states.
