Pasqual Vilardi is now in the Marion County Jail.

 

 

 

He's charged with one count of organized fraud.

 

 

 

Investigators say he conned several people out of money, including nine hundred dollars from one victim.

 

 

 

Vilardi admits contacting victims and offering "Employee specials" on TV's.

 

 

 

He also confessed to having the victim come to a popular store in Ocala, give him their money and wait for the televisions.
