Michael McDougal mike mcdougal, mike mcdougal 11/2/1984 stole money, fraud, intent to defraud, grand theft over 300 dollars south clermont, Florida
This guy is rediculous. He pretended to work for orange lake resorts and offered to get our family a discount on a cruise to the bahamas. He had the name of the boat, cruise times, rooms and confirmation numbers for the booking. He claimed to have put a 50 dollar deposit on the rooms for us and since he was an aquaintance of my husband we trusted him with our money which ended up being the sum of 765 dollars.
He gave us fake confirmation and within days I had it figured out. As if this isn't bad enough he continued saying that his travel agent friend or hook up through work had not booked the cruise yet and that it would take 3-5 buisness days. He continued to give us the run around and I caught on to the scam at this point contacted royal carribean and they said the cruise was booked and not paid for.
After confronting him we asked for our money back and at this time he said that "his lawyer" suggested he pay in such a way that he have a receipt so he sent us an email that he forged from regions bank that appeared to be a western union receipt except this was actually a fraudulent email as well. We filed an official police report and are also dealing with both the banks fraud department as well as western union's fraud department. The money is not the main concern it is the fact that he seems to have done this before and please watch out and do not give this guy your money!!
