Tag: Travel Agent Scam

A Toronto man posed as a travel agent and sold fraudulent tickets to travelers last summer, collecting the money via Interac e-Transfer which ranged from $400 – $3,000 each.

When purchased, the travelers were able to confirm their bookings on the airline website, but the bookings were cancelled days later because of issues with the credit card that was used.

The man charged, 22-year-old Hangfeng Zhang used several aliases including Jack Chen and Jason Wong and has been charged with:

• Two counts of fraud under $5,000
• Two counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000

He is due in court on November 9^th.
