I was cold called and actually going through stress and anxiety or I don't believe I would have ever bitten on this scam. I paid $464.00 from my bank account on 9/28/2021 (see the uploaded file for the receipt and agreement details). The payment was called a deposit by them and they advised they would call back for $100 payments to the $800 total but I could start using the program immediately and within a 2.5 window in the future. The organization called me at least three or four times since the initial outlay and I discussed I was skeptical and advised I would discuss with an attorney which I did. The most recent call from them was this past March asking for $100 payments and saying I could extend the plan. I had decided ok but now I would start to use my credit card for more protection for fraud. I made a $100 payment in March and was finally in a position to plan a vacation so I returned a call to them but noticed I could no longer safely access their website, I notice a difference website name now being used but later an email bounced back to me. I discussed vacation plans with a Mr. Perez (emails uploaded) and told him due to US travel advisories for Mexico I did not feel it was safe to travel there with my family and the gentleman begin to discuss his political views about how Mexico is just as safe as the US or more so. I told him about my concerns again and requested a refund when he responded I could not have a refund.

I searched for discount airfares and one of the choices was JETCOST. When I chose the best airfare for my destination it was a Delta Flight offered by Skywynk. I went through the normal process of booking the flight and then was contacted by email and phone that my original rate was no longer offered and that they could now get me booked for twice the cost.

Bought airline ticket online. Called the number under United airlines name.

Agent answered and sound like he is a United agent.

Agent asked all the information regarding my credit card, send me a document to sign, issues a ticket and charged additional $*,*** for taxes and services.

I called back United to clarify the charge and they never heard about this agent and told me I was scammed.

This scammer named Elliot Lawson Henderson goes by the pretense that he works for American Airlines and can get up 50-60% off on flights through his friends and family discounts. The problem is once you arrive at the airport you're stuck in limbo because the "confirmation" number he provided is not valid. This goes for hotels, excursions, airbnb, etc. There are countless of other victims as well. There are Instagram pages (elliothendersonthief and elliotlawsonhendersonscammer) theres a Facebook private group as well. There is also a website www.elliotlawsonhenderson.com and a petition on Change.org dedicated to him.

I signed up for the Tahiti trip for Oct 27, 2023. I made 11 payments of $197 and added in the insurance through CHUBB Insurance New Zealand Ltd. for an additional $150.00

I received an email on 10/30/22 stating the following:

Dear *****,

Many thanks for your email and kind words, at such a difficult time, it really is greatly appreciated.

In short, a refund is not possible, given the reasons we have outlined in the original email.

Bamboo no longer operates and has been forced to close.
