Warrant information confirms they were looking for Lisa Canada and Max Chilson of Lake Mary. Instead, they found boxes of files, paper shredders, mafia posters and enough computers for 15 employees. Investigators said they were operating a sham timeshare company under two different names: "M and l Marketing Concepts" and "Maximum Properties."
"It's a huge rip off!" said Barbara Jones of the Orlando Police Department.
Investigators said, somehow, they got the names of people who owned timeshares at places like Disney, Wyndham and Westgate resorts, and offered to sell the properties for them. Police said they convinced the customers to send between $1,800 and $2,200 for closing costs, but they pocketed the money and timeshares were never sold.
Investigators found a board inside that shows exactly how much they were making: $82,000 just last week.
"That's small potatoes. I've gone into rooms where they are making $200,000 a week," consumer investigator Sasha Velez told WFTV.
