State forces consumer fraud refund in Vermont
The Vermont attorney general and Florida AG press refunds for consumers damaged by Resort Hotel Association. Resort Hotel, a Florida company, falsely advertised a vacation contest with winners and charged $18 to $19.50 per registration, but sent only promotional materials. Vermonters with valid claims should write to the consumer fraud division with details and their vacation certificates.
