Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office is taking legal action against Brain Scroggs and his four "timeshare exit" companies—Vacation Consulting Services LLC; VCS Communications, LLC; The Transfer Group, LLC; and Real Travel L.L.C.

According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), two companies connected to Scroggs were the recipients of nearly 100 consumer complaints to BBB alleging more than $670,000 in losses since February 2017 alone. In many instances, these victims are families, often elderly, who have lost thousands of dollars by being targeted and scammed by alleged “timeshare exit firms.”

In a prepared statement, AG Eric Schmitt said, "The Missouri Attorney General’s Office is dedicated to protecting consumers, and whenever we can take action to hold those seeking to defraud Missourians accountable, we will."

This lawsuit follows a similar, consumer-protection lawsuit also against Scroggs recently filed by the Arkansas Attorney General’s office.
