Cebu Pacific warns of credit card fraud after 3 arrested at Caticlan Airport

Cebu Pacific has issued a warning against credit card fraud after three individuals were apprehended at Caticlan Airport for allegedly using fraudulent credit cards to book flights and resell travel funds online.

The airline has since canceled bookings made using these fraudulent credit cards, which were converted into Cebu Pacific's Travel Funds for resale.

The suspects were intercepted while traveling from Davao to Boracay and were about to return when authorities questioned them.

Cebu Pacific is coordinating closely with authorities to investigate groups engaged in the illegal sale of flights on social media platforms, specifically mentioning several Facebook groups where these transactions occurred.

The airline strongly advises the public to only book flights through their official website, mobile app, or accredited travel partners to prevent unauthorized transactions.

Transacting with unofficial sellers may lead to invalid bookings, extra charges, or canceled trips.
