A Chicago area travel agency owner is facing multiple charges after allegedly stealing more than $100,000 from clients.
Ultimate Travel owner Colleen Kosiek was indicted on 42 charges of theft, identity theft, financial institution fraud, and forgery.
DuPage County state’s attorney’s office alleges that between April 2017 and March 2019 Kosiek defrauded 22 people and banks and credit card companies.
She is accused of taking payment for flights and then pocketing the money by giving them fake receipts.
Ultimate Travel closed down in 2019.
After being indicted she turned herself into police and has since posted bail.
Kosiek is due in court in March to answer the charges.
Court records show that five of her clients have sued her in small-claims courts.
