JetBlue Employees Accused Of Credit Card Scam

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Four JetBlue employees and a city corrections officer have been charged with stealing credit card numbers from several airline passengers and using the cards to go on a spending spree at restaurants, liquor stores, and shops including Bloomingdale's and Victoria's Secret.

Investigators began looking at the group after one traveler accidentally left his credit card behind at a JetBlue counter at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Manhattan district attorney says someone used the card to run up $508 in charges.

Three of the suspects are JetBlue customer service customer service agents. One was a flight attendant.

All five are charged with identity theft.

JetBlue, which is headquartered in Forest Hills, N.Y., says it has suspended the four workers.
