The widow of a 9/11 first responder says she paid over $50,000 to a travel agency for a trip that she did not go on.
Victoria Scalone, of Port Jefferson Station, says a vacation to Punta Cana was supposed to be a trip to honor her husband who died from a 9/11-related illness.
"The firehouse had T-shirts made in his memory," Scalone says. "We were all going to wear them on the plane. It was going to be 25 of us."
Instead, she says, Crafty Getaways made the reservations but then claimed their funds were frozen and they could not gain access to the money allocated for her trip.
She got an attorney send a demand letter to Crafty Getaways asking for a money back, but she says the agency never responded.
