[@jennifermarlow.]

No one said they weren't fired by the airline. They might be up on charges.

[@Terrafire34]

So the travel agent 100% knew that the person was using a fake card. The employee of the air line and the travel agent have pulled this scam before.

[@zuritribe4844]

yup!!

[@stratfordbaby]

Exactly. As soon as the card was swiped, it would be immediately declined. Even if it was online, same thing. This is an impossible scam.

[@joeslinky]

@@stratfordbabyNot the case, the fraud was caught after the tickets were confirmed! Then they subsequently were cancelled after the bank issued a chargeback. The reason they do it is because it works! People don’t look at their credit card statements 24/7.

[@Deana9528]

Of course.

[@dpowers8755]

Work for a travel agency. We don’t “sub out” tickets to an employee at the airport. They are purchased directly from the airline. This agent 100% knew this was a scam was was getting a cut of the deal as being the fence

Sounds like her friend at the airport was using buddy passes as a business

[@Kat-bu3bn]

I was trying to figure out what the scam was. When you fly because of someone that works at Southwest you are below even stand-by ppl. If you’re flying because of someone that works at Southwest and you get boarded they can kick you off for someone that was flying stand-by. I hope I’m wording this ok. So I don’t know how they could have done that.

[@JuanitaMichelle]

Exactly. Or her/his employee discount.

[@KeryOnly]

The friend was using credit cards from people coming in to book there flights.

[@criseverett1615]

sometimes getting a discount or hook up is not even worth it.. deal directly with the airline so if anything happens they will help you

What LEGITIMATE travel agent goes through a THIRD PARTY at the airport?!? I've used travel agents my entire life, more than 35 trips. Never did the agent call someone else to book tickets, tours, or hotels. The Defendant was using "her person" at the airport to get highly discounted "friends and family" tickets(using a stolen credit card) and pocketing the difference. The Defendant couldn't have used her insurance because SHE was in on the fraud.

[@latindolphin]

[@onekia2140]

Idc if the layover 30mins I HATE them‼️ #TeamNonStop✈️

[@FranckYound]

I rather book directly through the Airline.

[@KeryOnly]

Plaintiff (yellow shirt) gives defendant $800 for 2 tickets, flight, hotel, amenities. The plaintiff would of probably paid $1300 if she paid Southwest directly. Thats why people use travels agents. Because they know how to find deals through canceled flights. But this is irrelevant. The defendant takes $800. $500 goes towards her and her business. $300 goes towards a Southwest employee. The Southwest employee books a flight and send the travel agent the tickets and confirmation number. All is well. The mystery is in what the Southwest employees do, and tell the travel agents. If a plane ride for $1300 isn’t filled up. The airline will reduce the price to $200, to try to recover the money. The Southwest employee can also add their employee discount to make it even cheaper. Lets say $150. The Southwest employee takes the $300, gets the tickets, send it to the travel agent, they walk away with $150. All is well. This employee did not do that. They more than likely wanted to keep the whole $300. So they used multiple credit cards, which they probably stole from a different passenger, paid for a $500 ticket on one credit card. $800 ticket on a different credit card. Both got canceled. Then she put the whole $1300 on a third stolen card. Sent the confirmation to the travel agent and kept the $300.
