Travel agent in Hawaii charged with 47 felonies after allegedly scamming clients, never actually booking trips
Fox News
Wendy Wong, who formerly ran the now-defunct House of Aloha Hawaii travel agency, has been charged with 47 felonies after allegedly taking her clients’ money and then canceling their trips at the last minute — without ever providing a refund.
Wong’s travel agency reportedly targeted clients in and around Calfirnia’s Bay Area. The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office launched an investigation into House of Aloha in 2019, following complaints from travelers whose itineraries had been canceled by the agency after payment. In 2019, Hawaii News Now reported that Wong was accused of scamming "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from clients. One such client, who booked a trip for their entire family of over 80 people, had allegedly given the agency more than $100,000, which was never returned.More Related News
