Mendoza Scandal: Organizer Scammed Families at Graduation Parties

According to reports, they arrived at the venue where the graduation party was to be held and were met with the sad news that nothing had been prepared. The graduates attended with their parents at the Government House for the traditional photo session, and at that moment, the chaperones received the supposed news that Morales "had had an accident and that the party was canceled". In response, the parents decided to go to the venue, leaving the young people at the Government House. Upon arriving, the chaperones found that Morales "had not paid for anything at all". Buenos Aires, December 2 (NA) – An event company was exposed on social media by families of students from six schools in Mendoza who denounced being scammed for the graduation party. As learned by the Argentine News Agency, the Economic and Cybercrime Unit of the Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating a series of complaints regarding possible scams related to the sale of graduation dinners and other events. Meanwhile, the families claim that the owner of the company, Mauricio Morales, is not answering calls or messages from the victims, who state that this also happened at 15th birthday parties and weddings. Six schools in Mendoza fell victim to this scam. There was no banquet, no DJ; there were only some drinks and food left over from a previous event, but we had nothing". We were sharing the party with a school from Beltrán and when we arrived at the venue, the owner told us that nothing had been reserved, that he could open it but only half, since Morales had paid half of the budget," one of the mothers recounted. It was also learned that Morales had also scammed at 15th birthday parties and weddings. Informed of this situation, other schools that had hired Morales realized they had also been scammed.
