Paging Frank Abagnale, Jr.!
A Florida CONMAN scored more than 120 free flights by presenting himself as a crew member with at least seven different airlines in a wild one, “Catch me if you can” style, according to the federal prosecutors.
Tiron Alexander, 35-Wiens schedule reflects that of the real-life imposter pilot who inspired the Leonardo DiCaprio film, according to the fraud, according to the fraud, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the southern district of Florida.
Alexander took the scam to new heights by submitting dozens of fake references in the stewardess, including numbers from Nepbadge, to book free flights between 2018 and 2024, said the federal prosecutors.
The smart Airhead handed in the fake paper, complete with around 30 manufactured rent dates and ID numbers, to get on board flights without paying – an advantage that was only offered to pilots and crew members, said officers of justice.
All in all, Alexander went to at least 34 free flights and booked a total of at least 120 without ever working for one of the airlines involved, the authorities said.
The fraudster previously worked for a non -created airline in Dallas, but according to the public prosecutors, it was never a pilot or stewardess for the company.
He was found guilty of wire fraud and entering secure airport areas under false pretenses and faces up to 20 years behind bars. It is planned to be convicted on August 25.
‘Catch me if you can’, on the other hand, tells the true story of Conman Frank Abagnale, Jr. Who has a Pan AM pilot, a doctor and a lawyer – all before he turned 19 years old.
He was eventually imprisoned in 1970 and later used his expertise in fraud to work with the FBI.
