Thief Steals Credit Card Number Of Guy And Books A Flight, Guy Cancels The Flight And Upsets The Scammer 2026

Every profession requires skills. Even stealing requires the thief to have a certain skill set that he/she applies to conduct the robbery in a way that no one can catch them. But as we all know, anomalies exist everywhere, even in the thieving world. One such anomaly is at the center of the story we have got for you guys today.

Reddit user AshesfallforAshton shared how one time his credit card number got hacked. The information was stored in his Gmail account and the hacker retrieved it by signing into that account. He then proceeded to book a flight using OP’s credit card details. As soon as OP got the notification about the transaction, he quickly called the bank to have it canceled. OP also got his money refunded by logging onto the same website the hacker logged into to book his ticket and canceling the booking from there by himself.

The troubles were over but hilarity and confusion were yet to come. As the thief realized his booking had been canceled, he got upset and emailed OP asking why he canceled the tickets. Yes, you read that right. Ready for this mini rollercoaster? Scroll down below to read how it all went down.

1. I know people can be dumb but could someone really be this dumb? Turns out they can.

Mr. Thief, there is still time. There are better professions for you out there. At least don’t disgrace the best of thieves out there by literally emailing the guy you robbed. On a real one though, this was extremely hilarious. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event, definitely one to remember. And OP is surely never going to forget it. This will be a good story for the festive get-togethers.

8. I think he is already crazy enough. This would’ve made his head blow.

12. He will retire as a thief in no time. This career path does not suit him.

13. Now this is a new spin on it. Maybe the thief bought the ticket and instantly sold it ahead to someone else.
