Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of pricks:

One of the nation’s largest time-share companies is going to be shelling out nearly a $1 million for making phone calls to people on the national “Do Not Call” list, federal regulators said Tuesday.

Westgate Resorts, based in Orlando, Fla., was named in a complaint filed on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission. The agency alleged that Westgate and two other companies placed thousands of telemarketing calls to people on the list. The FTC says Westgate has agreed to pay $900,000 to settle the charges.

For anyone who has ever been sucked into one of their propaganda filled sales presentations, this should make you smile.
