Default Travel Agency Scam

So my mom and grandma are suppose to leave for a 12 day trip to Rome/Paris on monday... They havent gotten the flight tickets so they call the travel agent, Regina Reinhart out of La Joya, California. Long story short, the BITCH stole their ****** money, 6k, closed up her shop and is nowhere to be found. If anyone, cops, lawyers, anyone that can help me find out how i would go about finding this lady please send me a PM. Aparently this lady has done this to other people as well, one group of people actually flew to Rome to have no hotel reservations AT ALL! My mom is a widow, dad died a year ago, and this was suppose to be her trip to relax and get away from everything. HELP!

Man that is messed up. It just always amazes me how low and disgusting some people are. Sorry to hear that.

Sucks, but I guess the only choice is the contact authorities in California. I'm suspecting it is La Jolla, Ca, not La Joya, BTW.

Unfortunately I think they will not be flying anywhere on Monday. I don't think there's much anybody can do before that.

Good luck with the fight!

apparently a group got stranded in Rome, she then showed up saying everything was fine, the group called the police on her and the U.S. embassy has her passport... no idea where she is or anything though.

Did your mom happen to pay with credit card or check? May be possible to have the CC company put a stop payment on the credit card transaction, and or have her bank put a stop payment on the check.
