Per Carter, the cancellation arrived after Cummings allegedly began sending messages to the group, asking to postpone the trip.
“When asked why… he said that… he had double-booked with his China trip — he had another trip around that same time — and he had double-booked,” fellow traveler Joanelle Baptiste explained to Carter while noting her confusion.
Per Carter, Baptiste had previously gone on two vacations with Cummings. So initially, she wasn’t worried. However, “come May 13th,” she reportedly received a call from him in which he canceled the trip and alleged he had been scammed.
