A Kentucky family missed out on a cruise worth an eye-watering sum likely due to an identity theft scheme. Tiffany Banks, a nurse practitioner and mom of four, took to TikTok to share that the $15,000 Carnival Cruise vacation she booked for her and her family a year ago was canceled just two days before the ship was set to sail and a day before their flight to Florida . Upon investigating what she initially presumed was a glitch, she was told that her booking number had been accidentally shared online, which resulted in identity theft.
