Travel agent arrested, charged with stealing $35,000 from cruise ship passengers
A Long Island travel agent has been arrested and charged with scamming would-be cruise ship passengers out of $35,000. And that’s not all that Tavia Thomas of Hempstead, New York, is being accused of doing. Other clients say Thomas collected almost $8,000 for a destination wedding that she booked — and then canceled — behind their backs. Another disgruntled customer paid over $10,000 for a nonexistent Caribbean luxury vacation to celebrate her grandmother’s birthday.
