I was scammed by Carmen DeSciocia and Joe Carpenter. I gave them $999 was told that I would have check at end of the month. That was October 2011. It is now April 2012 and just like everyone else...no phone calls, no contact. Every time I call, I leave message no return calls. Now when I call it says that the mail box is full and can't accept any messages. I too would like my money back. Anyone have any success in doing this?

I was too scammed by Joe and Carmen, please let me know any updates on class action lawsuits. I have tried to get my money back from my Visa, BBB and the FL Attorney General...But no luck. Can anyone get a hold of anyone at Meridian, none of the phone numbers I have even work.

I too have been scammed by Meridian Media Group. In June 2011 Jim Gibson conned me into a contract with this company. He told two weeks at my property would be sold within weeks which would pay back what I spent initially and then the property would be sold shortly after. I paid $946 and have nothing to show for it. I have not received one phone call or email inquiring about my property. Haven't heard a word from Jim Gibson but was contacted Joe Carbonara back in the Fall. He told me their have been inquiries but nothing solid which is why I haven't heard anything. According to their contract I'm suppose to be getting all inquiries by email or phone and I've seen nothing. And to top it off they aren't even advertising my property correctly. The timeshare home club is in NH and the ad has a picture of palm trees. Has anyone seen palm trees in NH?? I don't think so!!

It's been almost a year and all that's happened is that I'm out almost $1000 which is unacceptable in this economy. I plan on reporting them to the BBB and see if there's anyway I can some sort of a refund. I tried through my credit card with no luck.
