A man using multiple fake IDs of Jet Airways duped Rs 12.5 lakhs from the American Express Banking Corporation located in DLF, Gurgaon. The accused had submitted forged and fictitious documents to obtain the credit cards.
According to the FIR, applicants who applied through the sales channel were issued American Express Consumer cards after observing all the due diligence and necessary formalities including verification process.
“After the system showed transactions of higher volumes with no remissions being made by certain card holders on due dates, the company carried out a detailed scrutiny of papers submitted by these applicants. It then came to notice that one person had obtained the credit cards by posing as multiple employees of the Jet Airways.
On checking with the management of Jet Airways at the IGI Airport Terminal 3, it was found that they had no such employees. The salary slips purportedly issued by Jet Airways were also forged. The accused had submitted fake employee IDs in the application forms. Even the email ID with jetairways.ind.in used by him does not belong to Jet Airways. In fact, the company uses jetairways.com,” said the FIR.
The FIR further mentioned that the accused had promised to meet the bank executive at his office (IGI Airport Terminal 3) but then handed over the papers to him outside the main building in the public area on the pretext that the entry of an outsider was not permitted inside the building, where the Jet Airways office is located.
After detailed scrutiny of the applications, it seemed that all the application forms had been filed by the same person, since the handwriting pattern was the same. Also, all these applicants had merely written their names in their signatures.
After the investigation carried out by the American Express Banking Corporation, it became
apparently clear that the card members have obtained credit cards by furnishing false information and forged documents. The police have filed a case under Sections of 419/420/467/468/471, IPC and are investigating into the matter.
