Yesterday I was contacted by another person who was tricked out of 500,000 frequent flyer miles in his account by this individual and his now partner in crime Hamlet Ramos.
Sorry to push the point (if you feel uncomfortable) but could you clarify exactly what happened? When did you realize you were scammed? Did you arrive at the airport without tickets? Did the airline refuse you boarding? Did he just packup and run?
