Orange County woman arrested in timeshare scam

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — An Orange County woman is facing a laundry list of charges after investigators said she helped run an unlicensed telemarketing business that scammed timeshare owners.

Investigators with the Department of Agriculture said Jennifer Bacon and her partner, Carmen Rodriguez, both ran a company called RCIJB Worldwide Enterprise Inc.

They allegedly scammed timeshare owners by claiming to have a buyer for their timeshare.

The victims paid the requested fees, but their timeshares were never sold.

Bacon was arrested for a similar crime in 2012.

Rodriguez was also charged for the previous scam and is currently serving time for it.

Bacon was arrested Thursday and is being held on a $101,500 bond.
