If you are a victim of this company and its rip offs read the article in the sunsentinel in south florida here and know that these people are going to prison for a very long time. YOU have justice!!! Lawyer: Travel agents faked customer checks By Pedro Ruz Gutierrez Sentinel Staff Writer Posted July 15 2005 ( sunsentinel) When business dried up at Sunny Sky Travel in Seminole County in 2003, its owners decided it was time to get out and close. Luke Amoresano and Rebecca Zangwill, his girlfriend at the time, had invested $50,000 -- mostly hers -- in it and wanted to recoup the money. In a trial for Zangwill that began Thursday in Orlando's federal court, a prosecutor said Zangwill and Amoresano began printing and depositing counterfeit checks worth nearly $167,000 at a Bank of America branch in Casselberry. "Her and her boyfriend decided to close it, but before they closed it, they wanted to get the defendant's [Zangwill's] initial investment," Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg told jurors in opening statements. Her attorney, however, says Zangwill was duped by her boyfriend, a convicted scam artist. Zangwill was charged in a 38-count federal indictment that accuses her of conspiring with others to defraud financial institutions, scheming to illegally obtain money from banks and making and possessing forged securities. The travel agency, which operated for a few months at a Fern Park strip-mall suite off U.S. Highway 17-92, solicited people nationwide via faxes advertising vacation packages in Central Florida. Using stored information about customers' bank accounts, Handberg said, the couple used check-writing software to produce 840 checks for $198 each from June 27, 2003, to July 9, 2003. Assistant Federal Public Defender Peter Kenny, Zangwill's attorney, said his client is innocent. "The key person in this case is Luke T. Amoresano, who thought up this scheme," Kenny told jurors. "You'll find out he conned the banks, he conned all the customers, he conned all the staff . . . and now he's going to con you." Amoresano was sentenced in April to 33 months in federal prison after reaching a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. He was flown in from an Ohio federal prison to testify against Zangwill. The former Lake Mary resident also was sentenced in May to at least one year in prison in New York state for peddling Valium, codeine, morphine and other drugs online. If convicted, Zangwill could face up to five years in prison on the conspiracy count, up to 10 years for making and depositing counterfeit checks and up to 30 years for defrauding banks. Two other former employees who participated in the scheme -- Kacy Laray Wright and Laura Bray -- already reached plea agreements and will be sentenced next month. The trial resumes this morning with testimony by an FBI agent and Seminole County sheriff's investigators. Pedro Ruz Gutierrez can be reached at [email protected] or 407-420-5620.
