To all who have been scammed (especially those in Wisconsin):
Please contact the investigator working on this case at the Wisconsin Dept. of Ag, Trade, and Consumer Protection as soon as possible. She has been very helpful and is currently working on gathering information. The more victims that join in, the better the case will be. She is currently helping us with our case.
All you have to do is drop her a quick line letting her know you are victims of this deal and she will let you know how to proceed. She has been very responsive to all of our emails and contacts.
From this blog, I know there was a sales presentation at the Perkins in Racine, WI approx. March 2012 (different company names, but same individuals and same scam).
Also, there was a sales presentation at the T.G.I.Friday's in Madison, WI on Feb. 11, 2013 -- most of the people at this presentation won't realize they've been conned until August or September, but hopefully they will read this blog and respond.
Any other Wisconsin (or other location) sales presentations and dates that people are aware of? (past or future)
The investigator's contact information is: shannan.morgan@wisconsin.gov
If you want to independently confirm her contact info is legit, do the following -- go to the State of Wisconsin Employee Directory: http://wi.gov/state/core/sowdir/directory_search.asp For her email address, search for last name of Morgan. For her phone number, search for last name of Sheil-Morgan. (Her first name is: Shannan).
Thanks is advance to all who contact her -- the more cases we have, the better.

I have contacted our local NBC affilliate, the Dr. Phil show, mailed letters to several AG, spoke with Mr. Lyles-who promised to get back to me-and now an email to the investigator in Wisconsin. I have heard nothing from any of these. So disappointed.

I emailed Ms. Morgan yesterday afternoon with what information I had on the PRL scam and had a reply this morning. I am encouraged that she seems sincere in bringing these people to justice.
All those who haven't contacted her should as she said information from outside of Wisconsin provides proof that this was a national scam.

I do think everyone involved in this terrible scam should go down. I have had a terrible 1 1/2 years due to all of this. It has caused my husband and I to loose two trips that we had already paid high maintenance fees and were waiting on PRL to send us check from whom they rented it to (which wasnt rented and we didnt go so all that was done for nothing) not counting the 10,000 paid to SHR and our first year maintenance fees to SHR.
I just do not understand how anyone can keep selling this kind of scams and get away with it.

I contacted the investigator in Wisconsin yesterday and had an email almost immediately telling me to make a complaint in my state to consumer affairs. We did this the first of April and to date have heard nothing. As far as being patient, I think 18 months is more than patient. I would very much like to know the details of the "bring down". Whos involved and who is doing the investigation and when. If you have those details and dont want to post here you can email them to me at spage1@charter.net I would appreciated any and all info re: this.

Can you give us an email address for Ms. Morgan? Who is she?

Tina,
Shannan Morgan is an investigator with the Wisconsin Dept. of Ag, Trade, and Consumer Protection. She is currently working on the issue of the current scam (T.E.R.P., VSI, EPS, and R&R) -- although the former scam (SHR, PRL, and R&R) was virtually identical, so that information is probably useful to her as well.
She has been very responsive to me and is investigating on behalf of a number of different victims.
If you look up just a few posts, I listed her contact info as well as a method to verify that it is a legitimate email address.
Shannan Morgan -- shannan.morgan@wisconsin.gov
I would also be interested in hearing how you were able to finally get your folks' money back from BoA as they have generally been less than helpful. However, I don't want any secrets given away in this blog, so feel free to send me a private message.
Thanks.

Never mind. I just found it and emailed her.

On 5/1/2013 my husband and I were close-call victims to this scam involving a call to attend an update on RCI points membership. The "presentation" was at an I-Hop restaurant in Brighton, Mi. Randy Canfield was the boss of the group and gave us a lot of figures and guaranteed we would get paid 7.5 cents for our points up to 100,000 pts/year. He figured how we could pay the $10,122 fee with our points and still have pts left over for our own use. We were required to pay $498 with a check and could put the balance on our credit card. Within 10days we would receive a Discover card and that amount would be transferred. We would pay $99/month no interest. At the end of 6months we would get $12,000 to pay off the card and even have a couple thousand left over! It sounds so ridiculous as I write this down but we really wanted this to be true. We could basically sell extra pts enough to pay our maintenance fees etc and still have our vacations. The "fact" that RCI had called us to set up the presentation helped make it seem legit. ( Although I realize that doesn't make much sense. ) Randy Canfield works for TERP : Timeshares Enhancement Relief Project VSI: Vacations Services International is the exchange company. EPS: Excess Property Solutions guarantee the 7.5 cents per point Processing Agent IVC 6132 W Sahara Ave,Las Vegas,NV 89146 Ph 877-572-2090,FAX702-701-7773 We actually signed the contract and gave our credit card. He has my husband SS# and copies of both of our driver's licenses and our phone numbers. It was truly amazing how the brain washing worked! After we got home and were able to check things out and have panic attacks. We called our credit card company. No charges had been applied and we cancelled the card. We purchased identity theft protection and put a fraud alert on our credit and SS. My husband called our local law enforcement but they couldn't do anything because we didn't have actual loss. We did not give the check for $498.
I sent this info to Shannon Morgan at the email in a prior post. She answered immediately and thanked us for the info.

Hey, The "divorce" and "pregnant with twins" story sounds like typical BS that scam artists use as excuses and/or to get sympathy. I've always been fairly naive, but I'm learning to look at things with a new eye, thanks to an expensive education from PRL & SHR!!!
I haven't seen Hughes Dewailly's name come up on any of your posts. Do you have any info on him or HD Great Getaways?
Tina K.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank you,.... The Russell's are going down, and with more help from everyone Shannon Morgan will be the one that does it.
PS: This proves that they are still using RCI on the caller ID when they call all these people.
