If you've been scammed by a wedding planner there are several steps you can take to try and get your money back. 

First of all, contact the police department near you and file a report.

If you paid by credit card: Contact the credit card company and file a complaint. They will investigate on your behalf and you may be able to get your money back.

You should also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. When you file a complaint with the BBB they will investigate the company and try to get ahold of someone for you.

Another option for getting help is to use social media. KPRC 2 heard from several people who teamed up after they were taken advantage of by their wedding planner. They used comments and reviews to connect.
