Scam Artist Travel Agent
A Chicago-based travel agent has been convicted of seven counts of fraud for scams involving clients who paid for—but did not receive—air bookings to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois last month convicted Rashid Minhas with help from the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) fraud prevention team whose testimony and evidence was critical in the case. Minhas was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison.
