Fraud case against travel agent adjourned

By Zaya Williams

The police are still putting together evidence against former travel agent Michelle Anthony, where several individuals are accusing her of scamming them out of almost $50,000 in total.

As a result, her committal hearing was adjourned until April 24.

Anthony – the owner of Michy D’s Travel Agency located on Old Parham Road, has at least four charges of fraudulent conversation hanging over her head.

But more and more people seem to be coming forward since news broke of Anthony’s travel agency scam late last year, where he reportedly failed to fulfill ticket purchases and misappropriated funds entrusted to her.

While the police continue investigating those claims, Anthony is already charged for allegedly defrauding a woman out of $4, 355.80 on 18th November, 2023.

In addition, late last year, the 50-year-old resident of Lightfoot was charged for unlawfully converting $29,031.31 provided by the Government on August 25, 2023, for personal use.

Furthermore, she is accused of similar actions, involving $1500.00 entrusted to her by a woman on December 1 and 10, 2023.

Another victim reportedly suffered financial losses totaling $12,650.00 between August 15 and December 13 due to the defendant’s alleged fraudulent activities.
