Chicago Singer Accused Of Stealing Money From Clients To Book Fake Vacations | TSR Investigates

- Popular Chicago singer Elliot Henderson is facing backlash for operating a travel business that many people are now calling a scam. Henderson allegedly told his clients he had connections in the travel industry and could offer them half-priced hotel rooms, flights, Broadway tickets, and more. However, dozens of people are now telling their side of the story and claiming Henderson took their money and lied about booking travel for them. Some even claim that they were stranded in other states and almost kicked out of hotel rooms because of the non-payment by his company. Despite Henderson’s claims, he did not intend to mislead his clients; police have since gotten involved. Could this have been a simple misunderstanding? The Shade Room investigates…

Why are people allowing someone to book their vacations when they can do it themselves?
That’s what travel agents do they are supposed to be in all the know and discounted rates but this dude sucked a$$
I'm also going through a travel 🧳 agent They know more about safe area etc more than myself
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 I guess a trusted business…though I still don’t see why they have to book for you…for me, if I can’t trust google (lol) I’m just not going. That’s more my anxiety though probably 😩
"Discounts"
Cause they want it for the “low low”🤣
First red flag is paying in cash app.
Right! I honestly don’t give my money to my establishment if the only form of payment accept is cashapp.
Not really cause world 🌎 all about technology now
@@fatonyalmitchell3281Oh girl..that’s just naive. I hope this isn’t how you’re paying your travel agency. Cash app is definitely a reg flag in this situation
@@fatonyalmitchell3281Not cash app for this situation. I hope you’re not paying your travel agency this way.
@@fatonyalmitchell3281a real business would have a payment processor
Why are people still falling for this scam? Never ignore the 🚩!!
They all slow
I was really happy I got a recommendations of DR WEI HEALING HOME on youtube that cured me of my Lupus diseases. I used his herbal medicine in less than a month I swiftly recovered from this disease.
Most people that get scammed actually are trying to scam as well. So the scammer uses their greed and promise them a lie. In which they are more than happy to pay cash for
Bingo...
EXACTLY
I know for a fact he's been doing this since 2015 and told me he'll never stop. He's even threaten to kill me for exposing him. Hopefully with news coverage, there'll be no more victims
Oh His Big self is BOLD 😢
HIS AS IS GOING TO GET EVERYTHING THAT COMES TO HIM...I LIVE IN GARY INDIANA AND I HEARD ABOUT HIM....
He's going to come across someone about that life who is going to show him what they do to thieves
I was really happy I got a recommendations of DR WEI HEALING HOME on youtube that cured me of my Lupus diseases. I used his herbal medicine in less than a month I swiftly recovered from this disease.
People better stop being lazy.
Absolutely right, nobody wants to do the work anymore 😮.

I hate scammers....such liars
He doing Roy Henry Tolliver of jax fl
I don't feel sorry for these idiots...common sense aint too common...what happened to checking your entire trip before leaving, yall too old for the foolishness
😂😂😂😂 exactly
Exactly. I bought a package with a reputable airline and followed up to confirm everything was in place before the trip.
Trust then verify. They “trusted” this “well known” singer; didn’t verify anything. Not too bright.
He could of had a great profitable business, but he is a scam artist and a con
They knew it was a scam. You don’t ever get half off unless something is illegal
Why would people just give somebody money off the internet?
This is crazy!!!
Scammers be your friends too I can’t believe I got scammed by a friend now I don’t trust not one person with money. Not even my kid.
He didn’t plan on being caught & people holding him accountable ‼️😳
He needs to be stop 🛑 putting people in crazy situations
@@fatonyalmitchell3281naw they put themselves in that situation
@@mackcity74gdn89 Incorrect ‼️ he advertised as if this bus job travel 🧳 agent etc So why would they Trust him ⁉️ shame on him Not 🚫 THEM
I love when the shade room bring the juicy gossip and the list of people that are scammers
I don't understand why people can't book their own vacations, and find great deals!!
Here in Paris for two weeks. Booked myself 🎉❤
Im also using a travel 🧳 agent cause I don't know what good areas hotel 🛏️🛍️ etc
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 $1700 flight and hotel booked myself
Because they don’t want to do it. There are real travel agents. This dude a scammer.
I know, right.
So they wanna pay plug prices but mad about being scammed???? 🤔
I mean look at him😂😂😂😂
We always looking for a discount no matter how it’s gotten. You get what you pay for
When they checked in the room they notice he was Lyinggggggg....Come on now.
Right! I booked a hotel before and they send me at least two emails before I check in. Sometimes they even call! I always choose to book directly with the hotel instead of a third party.
@@aneshaelizabethexactly! That way you’re bank can refund your money back or the hotels
If someone can get you any kinda discount and they don’t work for the place it’s a scam period !
They probably ignored the red flags 🤣 there is no way
How hard is it to book a flight from USA to USA??? they needed a travel agent for that?? Smh..
People please stop having these “so called travel hook up jankie agents”book fights etc for you!!!! Going the cheap route will get you nowhere. Book your own trips. I don’t trust anyone with my money outside of paying my monthly bills. Be proactive and stop being lazy and book your own trips, hotels, concerts!!!!
People are so gullible. His story sound like a lie. It's hard to feel sorry for people.
These scammers are ridiculous 🤔🙄
Nah the suckers are the problem without them there’d be no him, duh
He look dirty asl and it’s givin broke… on BOTH parties! Ain’t no way
There is nothing wrong here because why would anyone be giving a stranger cash for travel purposes. They wanted a hook-up so they got scammed. Sham on them.
I feel no sympathy nor empathy for these grown folks still trying to get a “hookup”. We have to do better smh.
So, no one smell the bullshit coming out his mouth? Get your own discounts when you book direct from the business; airlines, hotels, amusement parks.....
Right
Come man we have to start trusting random people with our money. I worked so dam hard to build a life for me and my son, I’m careful with my funds. And I’m serious about my money and don’t play. All the stuff they asked him for, you can easily do yourself 😅
It’s hard to feel bad for these people.
Why, why are people still giving people money to do things for them they can easily do for themselves? Why are people still falling for these types of things?
He is a Travel Ponzi Scammer!
✅
People need to do better. I don’t feel bad they were scammed. If it’s too good to be true.. it usually is
I’m fine with using my government employee discount on hotels and event tickets. Getting the “hookup” never sat right with me.
Just sad! I can’t stand a scam artist
You Get What You Pay For!!! That is What Legit Travel Agencies are For!!!!❤
Ain't no way i would trust him call it profiling so.
He look like a scammer
Now he needs a new scam
Everybody scamming nowadays like they're not going to be put on blast ASAP.....Thinking short instead of thinking long🤦🏾♀️
I’m so happy to see TSR taking the next step in entertainment journalism 🎉
I got the hook up, Holla if you hear me! 😅
Chicago singer? I have never heard of buddy and been in Chicago all my life smh people got to stop falling for everything man. He’s a broke bum
😂😂😂😂😂😂
They broke the chain of the scam while all the time he's pocketing the rest of the money.
You’re better off finding your own places and prices. That way you can have all your T’s crossed and I’s dotted.
When I go somewhere I need to see the building before I arrive lol meaning I know everything and most likely called and asked a question
Shitttt he wouldn’t get a dollar. Lol
AMERICAN GREED😮
Yup this is true he got me. I was able to get my money back. This was back in 2016!
Why though? Why go that route instead of booking your own flight and hotel; you know the ones that actually give you confirmation numbers.
Hey, what happened happened 🤷🏾♀️ I’m sure she learned a valuable lesson in 2016 😌
I love your show ❤️.
If you can't afford to pay legitimate a company for your trips and events, then you can't afford it PERIOD!
Girl you really could’ve took spirit or frontier and booked a hotel on Priceline. Please
?????????? WAIT A MINUTE? Did she say $1,200 for a Baltimore to Atlanta trip? Girl!!!! GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! For $1,200 I can be in South Africa!!!!!
Right my flight & hotel from Baltimore to Atlanta was around $750 for two people for 6 days. Also I booked it all by myself 😂.
LOL.
I know, right? I fly from Baltimore to Atlanta often.
I can’t even wrap my brain around paying THAT much for a Baltimore to Atlanta trip.
I also book my own trips. I don’t see paying someone else to do it in this day and age.
He almost got me too! The rest of my group was never made whole
Okay, I know for a fact that this guy has been doing this since like 2014. They made another story about this guy to where he cried during the interview and claimed that he had no clue as to what happened to the money. I can't believe I still remember this dude. I'm surprised no one caught up to him yet, considering how people are ki11ed over much less these days..
Is this Grand Puba?
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
People always want something for nothing that’s how you get in all this trouble
*"The signs was there bug I ignored them"* ... right ‼️ more birdbrain saviors 🤦🏽♀️ end of story
He don't like letting down people but he has no problem keeping their money.
I’m from the hood never give someone who looks like this money
Chileee track suit, business suit, black, white, green, or purple 😭 You can’t trust anybody no matter what they look like 😩
People book your own travel! It’s easy!
That was silly of them to do business with him when he asked to be paid in cash
I can't stand scammers. Liars, losers. Work like the rest of us. Bruh, stop stealing.
I am surprised he kept texting her.
And he isn’t paying anyone back unless they press charges
It's sad that we can't do business with each other smh
That is not a travel business. Not at all.
Working on a story on this same man now...
Please do tell….what platform?
You flew somewhere and you didn't have a return ticket LMAO I do not care what happens to you LOL😅😂😅
He’s full of shit … anytime you know the reservations & plane tickets weren’t real and you let these people go out of town & leave them stranded you know your wrong
I had to pay for a 3000 dollar room and never got none of my flight money back
Yall and these deals...I swear yall be doing the most to save😂
Do my own foot work...lol
Roomless in Atlanta? 😮
she didn't have an extra $200 for a flight home? crazy. don't travel w.o your own fare home
The only hook ups with travel is trying to look on Priceline , booking , or Expedia .. or waiting to prices go down or booking in ahead of time or being apart of certain vip memberships or savers club directly with the company hotel or airline it’s self … people will ALWAYS FAIL YOU & a lot of artist are struggling and not making money off their music because it takes time and everyone ain’t going to put in the work with their career so it’s usually other businesses they built or illegal Activities like this mf doing ..
Listen to his voice
One thing I noticed, all the individuals he was scamming were women. He backed out of the interview with this man here, but instead goes on a female podcast to run some more game. This man is a coward, and is clearly intimidated by other men. But quick to pop off on a woman and manipulate the situation. Truly disturbing.
As a black womanI hat to say but this is why I don’t do business with my people. Always trying to get over on someone.
People are easily gullible lol
Is he licensed? People trying to get the hookup and mad for the scam. It’s not difficult to book a flight and hotel from Baltimore to Atlanta!
Man I get to the point where I get tired of hearing stories people do stupid crap like give some freaking idiot cash😅😅😅😅😅
He didn’t scam anyone he just got in over his head
Do you went out of town with no confirmation to come back before you leave?
Thanks for giving us your time DuuuuuuvvvvvvvvaaaaaLLLLLLLL county jax fl USA ❤ 5:30 mark ❣️ soon as she said funds dried up.....a commerical came on with car 🚗 relling the engine VOOM,VOOM😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, some business deal go bad but people are given their money back more times than not
Paying $1200 for a travel pass in ATL!?? I thought it was going to be Disney! IKYFL! Come on now, it's 2024 if sounds too good to be true 10/10....IT IS! 😫🤦🏽♀️
Damn shame Block. He got people coming to events looking for him. He not safe
You thgt he was the plug now you know hes not book your own events stop cheap smtime you got pay FULL PRICE YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
This guy is a smooth scammer.
I'm traveling from Atlanta back home to NYC via Amtrak for $143 next month.
The story ended once i first heard they looking for hookups lol 😅😅😅😅😅 thats not even legality binding in civil court.
These people dig their own problems trusting strangers
This man stated he worked for the airlines and could get us a cheaper rate using his family and friends discount! And of course we were scammed over 10 years ago! So for those who say we should have know better people who work for airlines get discounts all the time for friends and family! Please don't 6:02 judge unless you know exactly what you are talking about!
At some point people really need to use common sense. This is one of the oldest scams. I don’t feel sorry for the “victims”!
Flewd out
LMAO HE FROM THE WESTSIDE OF CHICAGO HE BEEN ON BS
That’s what they get. Should have not fell for the okie doke
I could see someone doing business with him because there are legit people who have deals like he supposedly had. Now he's going to make some folks leary of doing business with someone unless they know them directly. Even if it's been good other times.
Okay wait .she went to an airport on HALF A FLIGHT????? If you have a stop and you dint have connecting flight info....girl
What a narcissist he is "what y'all don't know is when y'all pay have I pay the other half until y'all pay me back"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he is beyond a low level pyramid scheme
The old Buddy pass scam. I got hit with it a few years ago.
He def knew that lady on that pod cast
Maaaane,I KNOW THIS FOOL .,WENT TO HIGHSCHOOL w/Elliot😮😮
YALL THIS WAS GOING ON IN 1996. Nothing new under the sun.
