High School Seniors Spend Over $40K On Trip, But Find Out They Were Scammed At The Airport

Dozens of teenagers from Southern California claim they’ve been scammed out of thousands of dollars — and a graduation trip to Cancún, Mexico — by a man running a shady travel company online.
The group told Fox 11 that George Barragan, owner of Senior Grad Trips, charged approximately $1,500 per person for the celebratory getaway that was supposedly scheduled to begin Sunday night. But when the teens arrived at LAX that evening, they were told that every single one of their tickets had been canceled.
quote:
The group then called their hotel in Mexico, only to discover that no reservations had been made in their names.
To the scammer's credit ...
quote:
Barragan has since sent a letter to the affected teens to apologize and let them know that he would refund their money within thirty days — but that’s not enough for this group.

Thinking this was a correct price for a trip to Mexico is retarded.

Someone at the school didn't do a proper job of vetting out this scammer travel agent.
They apparently got sold on price and learned a very valuable lesson.

If they spent 40k then at least 27 kids paid their $1500.
That’s 27 grand for housing/food/car rental etc.
How much do you think it cost to go to Mexico?

Is he actually a scammer or is he refunding the money? I’m confused

That sux. I did the same kind of trip summer after I graduated. Great time, and learning experience. Broke me out of my shell some, and really helped me out in college.
Probably to late to do it as a group now. This kind of thing isnt something the guy probably has yelp reviews stating. This sound like a he got in debt or screwed up somewhere/how kind of thing.

It’s not that far out of the ballpark, especially with a large group. They have packages around that. They want to get you down there to spend more of your money on all of the things not included in the “package”
