New York limo driver scams passenger for $800,000 in fraud credit card charges
New York, NY, United States (AHN) – A New York City limo driver has admitted illegally scamming a multi-millionaire Hong Kong feng-shui master by running up unauthorized credit card purchases.
Flushing resident Peter Rahhaoui pleaded guilty to credit-card fraud in a Brooklyn federal court.
In 2008, Rahhaoui drove businessman Tony Chan 13 miles from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Manhattan. However, after Chan used his credit card to pay for the ride, the cabby retained the number and used it for several months to buy things for himself.
All told, Rahhaoui racked up $800,000 in charges using Chan’s American Express credit card number.
Chan reportedly did not notice the fraudulent activity on his credit card until his bank’s security department contacted him about the charges.
