Cebu Pacific is now working with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to identify unauthorized sellers of its flights who are using fraudulent or stolen credit cards.
Aside from the NBI, Cebu Pacific is also coordinating with other authorities such as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) to warn the public against booking flights through unauthorized channels.
Cebu Pacific has cancelled bookings that were purchased using fraudulent or stolen credit cards as confirmed by their partner banks. Following an investigation, the airline determined that certain individuals used these cards to book Cebu Pacific flights, which were subsequently converted into Travel Funds. These Travel Funds were then used to illegally resell flights through unauthorized channels.
Passengers affected by the cancelled bookings have been sent notifications and are advised to book new flights through www.cebupacificair.com using a valid and authorized form of payment should they wish to proceed with their travel plans.
The following Facebook groups that booked flights for passengers using fraudulent credit cards have been taken down:
- Cebu Pacific Refund – https://www.facebook.com/groups/426610031927684
- Cebu Pacific Travel Fund (For Sale) – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1016560490256609
