Sunday June 22 we received a desperate call from a Texas couple here for a wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It seems the "Internet Minster" they hired did not show for their wedding.
This scam seems to be directed at Gay and Lesbian couples coming here for destination weddings.
The person claimed to be able to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage license and assured the couple they would be there for the wedding that evening. Lucky for them Rev. David Nixon was available and he drove to Beverly Hills to marry this couple.
There are many people out there that claim to be ministers and able to issue the LA County Marriage License. If you are not sure you can always call the LA County Recorders office in Norwalk and confirm the identity of the person before you hire them. This couple sure wished they had done that before flying here and finding out they had been scammed.
