Legal Question in Consumer Law in Colorado

Re: Travel membership scam

That's probably the best thing you can do. Find out who manages fraud cases in your local state's attorney office and make an appointment. Bring your evidence with you. That person won't issue a warrant, but can advise a magistrate or judge to issue one. The reason that's the best thing you can do is that you're not going to get a penny out of that person civilly without working five times as hard as the case is worth, whereas in a criminal case, the Court can order that he pay restitution as a condition of any leniency in the sentence.

Note that he's not doing anything the big companies don't do. If you look up who owns the trademark "Best Buy", for example, you'll find a corporation located at a mail drop in the Bahamas, and that corporation does not own the store where you shop. Taxi cab companies routinely create a new and different corporation to own each car in order to protect all the other cars in the fleet if you get a judgment against one of the corporations. Is that consumer fraud? You bet, but it's not illegal in most places yet.
