Timeshare Owners Deceived

According to a recent federal audit, timeshare owners were billed for political contributions along with their tax and maintenance charges. The owners weren’t told that the contributions were voluntary and in some cases might not have even been aware they were paying them.

Timeshare owners in Florida and other places contributed tens of thousands of dollars in small amounts. These improperly solicited contributions were funneled into a political action committee set up by the American Resort Development Association.

The auditors say that the ARDA political action committee violated other federal election laws as well by accepting thousands of dollars from foreign nationals and other corporations. Criminal probes have been launched by the Department of Justice.
