A Louisiana cruise passenger was allegedly scammed out of nearly $1,100 for her Caribbean getaway before she tracked down the man she blames and confronted him aboard the same ship.
Vanessa Phillips planned to sail aboard the MSC Seascape on a Western Caribbean cruise from Galveston, Texas, on Aug. 30 to Sept. 6, with Armonte Domious Wilson, an associate she met on a cruise in December 2025.
Phillips claimed that Wilson asked her for $1,100 to secure her spot on the luxury megaship. However, she alleged Wilson cut off all communication near the sailing date and learned that the alleged con man spent $524 for the cruise and excluded Phillips from the reservation.
Phillips then purchased a separate ticket to confront Wilson with the “intention to get him to confess.”
