  3. Current CC Fraud cases: Accra Pipeline CC Flyer Corporate Booking Tools ShopStyle Peri X

  4. Accra Pipeline Task Force: Diplomatic Security Service US Secret Service Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority PD (MWAA PD) Customs & Border Protection July 2009 – Present Characteristics: Compromised credit cards MagicJack as means to call travel agents ACC-US (primary entry points are JFK, IAD, and ATL) ACC-China ACC-JNB

  7. Accra Pipeline: Sweet Success!! Ademola Adegoke.....convicted!

  10. Accra Pipeline: The girl w/ 9 lives Original name Rachel X..........then changed to Catherine Y to pose as the daughter of a green card lottery winner...then changed to Rachel Z when she came to the US. Love that Facebook!!!

  11. Accra Pipeline: Next target! Alexander “X”

  12. Corporate Booking Tools Obtains proper sign-in and password through unknown means. University sites also affected Builds an “employee” profile with basic info. Sometimes calls are made to agencies. West Africa travel as origin & destination.

  13. CC Flyer Typical scenario: Caller requests a ticket for immediate travel due to some family emergency. Caller claims to live in general area of the travel agency. Losses: More than 500 tickets worth over $2 million. 1 cc used at 9 different agencies in a 3 week period this year. US Secret Service opened an investigation in 2008, but it failed to go anywhere. Challenge: Most agencies suffer only a small $ loss and law enforcement do not view it as worth their time to investigate.

  14. ShopStyle Kansas City A $20 million dollar fraud...and it all started with the arrest of a shoplifter! 5 year investigation by the US Attorneys Office, US Postal Inspectors, US Secret Service, and Overland Park PD 39 individuals prosecuted as “blackmarket” travel agents Charges: Conspiracy Access Device Fraud (credit card fraud) Aggravated ID Theft (mandatory 2 yrs in prison!)

  15. Peri X An airline advised in December 2009 that numerous high-dollar ($6k-$12k) chargebacks had been received from an agency in Los Angeles. Specializes in international, 1st & Biz class travelers. Intentionally validates many of these tickets on smaller, foreign-flag carriers Case presented to the US Secret Service in Los Angeles in July 2010. Investigation phase coming to a conclusion soon (I hope...) ARC identified 7 agencies that suffered $700,000 in losses between 2006 and 2010. End result: Peri knows he’s being investigated by USSS. He has basically been driven from the US agency market as an outside agent.

  16. ARC actions: Efforts to educate agents (dispel the Auth Code Myth): Agent forums Webinars Referral to arc website for the CC Red Flags Offer ARC Sentry to agents and carriers Offer City Pairs analysis to carriers ARC role in investigations: Will act in a liaison capacity with law enforcement Testify in court if requested by prosecution. Request for carrier action: Alert ARC of your problems. Don’t suffer alone!
