Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. That makes more sense than an actual employee selling their benefits. But c'mon then, it was just normal CC fraud and should be between AC, Visa, and their investigators and insurance. Sometimes "too good to be true" can be true; I paid $2200 to Orbitz for a DL business class flight + 7 nights in a Prague 4* hotel. Normally it's approx $5500 for
just J flights TATL from Phoenix, but I happened upon a deal. Yes that's an OTA I've heard of, but I've also an unknown TA to get 50% off a hotel (found via Trivago) and that was legit too.
