I own a small interior decorating business and am the only person on my company credit card account. I went into online banking last evening to check on my business account and found charges for 2 airline tickets totaling $2,286.00 on my account. I immediately contacted my bank and after investigating they discovered that the tickets were purchased on the internet and the individuals (if you can call them that) had the proper credit card info to make the purchase. I contacted Continental Airlines and spoke with the fraud dept and they asked questions regarding info they had with relation to the individuals making the purchase. It was 2 females named Veronica and Andrea Seabury.
After many questions and info given, I was told that the tickets had not been used and they would cancel them and also refund the charges to my card. When I asked what their policy is regarding fraud cases, I was told that since they didn’t suffer any loss, they would not pursue the matter. However, they encouraged me to file a case with the local authorities and gave me their direct contact info and stated they would work with the local authorities and provide any information they could to pursue the arrest of these individuals. I am truly relieved that this has been resolved as far as my credit card but I won’t be happy until these two individuals are apprehended and hopefully put in the slammer.
