Tapjets, the Hail- A- Jet service company
has revealed how modern mobile
technology helped to detect and trace
the fraud that led to the arrest of
Nigerian singer , Dammy Krane and his
accomplice , Chukwuebuka .
The duo were arrested on June 2 , 2017,
in Miami , Florida .
Tapjets said the fraud was detected
with a small token of authenticity .
“ He (Dammy Krane ) uses Samsung
Galaxy 7 , and messages did not come
from that phone. However, that same
phone was used to place the online
order with credit card that does not
belong to him , ” Head of Flight Safety
and Security for Tapjets , Konstantin,
told Instablog 9 ja exclusively.
“ Same phone was used to register
multiple accounts trying to buy with
different cards until one finally worked.
However, names did not match to zip
codes etc .”
The company revealed that Dammy ’s
accomplice , Chukwuebuka also tried to
purchase flight on another phone with
yet another card .
“ Total of five cards in an hour till one
worked. We are 100 percent confident
that our app was on that phone and
order was placed via T - Mobile network
from cell tower located in Miami area,”
Konstantin continued.
“ We have coordinates of cell tower and
proof that they took a car from that
area to Opalacka airport . That ’s where
the arrest took place. ”
The company said it is not proud about
the incident , but it wants others to
think twice before stealing from
companies .
“ Technology is very sophisticated and
being an airline , we have access to the
latest. I hope you can help in spreading
the message that we are not on a witch
hunt ,” Konstantin concluded .
While Chukwuebuka has been released
on bail, it was gathered that Dammy
who is facing 9 counts of fraud and
grand theft is not eligible to bail yet.
However, a defense attorney, Deborah
Prager , has now been appointed to
represent him .
