Agent admits stealing thousands in fake bookings scam
Anas Ahmed, a director of AirBridge Travel Ltd (ABT), located in Church Lane, Brent, pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in an unfair commercial practice and one of engaging in an aggressive commercial practice, The Kilburn Times reports.
Harrow Crown Court was told that more than 30 clients believed they had booked flights through ABT, only to end up out of pocket when they discovered no booking had been made. Payments were made by direct transfer into ABT’s account, as AirBridge would not accept payment through its website.
