Holiday to Florida is ruined by the fraud squad

Rebecca Waterfall, who worked for Incentivise, a travel agent based in Lymm, Cheshire, left her bosses more than £10,000 in the red – and the Conways more than £5,000 out of pocket after using her bosses’ credit card to pay for vacations, and using her clients’ money to pay off the bills.

Prior to the Conway family’s ruined holiday, Waterfall had left her bosses more than £10,000 in the red by fraudulently using their credit card to pay for holidays to Australia and Abersoch.

She also promised pals cut-price holidays in order to be popular – and then passed on the losses to her employers.
The Conways, from Sheffield, were cheated as Waterfall ‘robbed Peter to pay Paul’ in what the sentencing judge called the ‘travel agency equivalent of a Ponzi scheme’, the Manchester Crown Court heard.
