Easy folks....
Don't be so sure they OP is trying to scam anyone. He actually did pay for the ticket, but now is not going to fly part of the trip. Yes, he is required to fly with the companion person.
The biggest take away from this thing is the risk of having the companion pass totally REVOKED. That could really suck. Way more than having to full price for the younger/minor person.
I would not risk it myself.
