Miami Couple Charged with Defrauding Friends in Cruise and Luxury Goods Scam
Antonio Diaz and Maria Blasco Diaz, a couple from Miami, have been charged with defrauding friends and family out of nearly $45,000 for a Royal Caribbean cruise that was never booked. The couple allegedly promised discounted cruise packages and luxury goods, including Rolex watches, but failed to deliver. The victims paid through various means, including Zelle and checks, which were cashed by the couple. Despite promises of repayment, the checks provided were from an account with insufficient funds. The couple also allegedly accepted deposits for luxury watches and jewelry, totaling over $139,000, which were never delivered.
