I waited for 1 1/2 weeks and since I did not hear from her, I tried to contact Maria. She did not respond to multiple emails over a period of 3-4 weeks. We called The Italian Institute at the phone number listed on their website (303-733-4335). Multiple phone calls to this number were never answered by a person but a recording said to please leave a message at a phone number that was different from that of The Italian Institute (303-888-6866). We googled this telephone number and it was the personal phone number (not a business number) for Maria Chiacchio. Though we left multiple messages by phone and by email, Maria never responded and seemed to disappear with our $1000.
Fortunately we disputed the charge with our credit card company and were able to recover our $1000. Since this time we have found that The Italian Institute has 4 different addresses in Denver. I am filing this complaint because I suspect that Ms. Chiacchio will attempt to scam other people and I believe she may be using a fake business as a front for internet theft. Please refer to the ScamPulse.com listing of "F" for The Italian Institute with complaints by others that they sent money for tours organized by The Italian Institute, but the tours were never arranged.
