We have received of late obvious VOIP originated calls to make domestic Aus bookings, followed closely for a call for a flight from ACC to wherever, charged to the same credit card. The punter insists he is in Australia, and we thankfully smelled a rat. He presented as the Reverend someone or other. When I cancelled the domestic booking and advised him he was a melanin enhanced female self lubricated body part he became less than reverend. Watch these clowns – they have moved from the emails we all put up with daily to Skype or similar calls. The credit cards were issued on banks in Austin Texas and Fort Lauderdale Florida. You bank security people can track this from the 1st 8 numbers. Be careful out there!! Best regards Ron – Jetset Devonport
