Judges and governments are no longer tolerant of timeshare resale scams. A woman was sentenced to fifteen years in jail by a judge in St. Louis. Jennifer Kirk, a thirty-one year old New Jersey woman, operated a company called Universal Marketing Solutions also known as Creative Vacation Solutions in Florida. This company was in business from October 2007 until December 2009. Kirk had started this company and hired telemarketers to scam timeshare owners into purchasing their services. Each telemarketer would call hundreds of timeshare owners, located in North America and Puerto Rico, and convince them into paying thousands of dollars for a non-existent service.
In June, Kirk was charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud. She pleaded guilty and was fined fifteen thousand dollars as well as fifteen years in jail. Kirk's previous employees are currently serving time in prison and one of the defendants is facing $1.1 million in restitution.
