Three Riverdale High School students said they made payments to Cynthia Anderson for a trip that was supposed to be scheduled for the end of May.

Anderson is also accused of taking money from some LaVergne students using the same method the Riverdale students said she used.

The Riverdale students have given Anderson $700 a piece as payments on a trip to Jamaica.

Anderson said she worked as an independent marketing agent for Yourtravelbiz.com.

She said her job was to serve as a booking agent and the more trips she booked, the more money she would get from the company, but the company has no records of Anderson scheduling any trip or any money.

Police said they are looking for Anderson in connection with the accusations.

The alleged scam may have affected more than just LaVergne and Riverdale high schools. Anderson had reportedly approached every high school in Rutherford County with the same offer.

Yourbiztravel.com operating officer Duane Dancil said students or parents who believe they have been scammed or contacted in a similar fashion should contact him by sending him an e-mail.
