Air Canada imposes 'no fly' ban, demands $18K from woman after ticket scam
A woman who says she unknowingly bought fraudulently obtained airline tickets online claims she’s being treated like a criminal by Air Canada. The carrier is demanding Ann Qian repay over $18,600 for flights between Toronto, Vancouver and Shanghai — and has banned her from flying its routes until she pays.
Airline says online purchase of cheap ticket was like 'buying a television set in a bar'

3 unchallenged flights
Qian came from Shanghai two years ago to train as a pastry chef at a college in Scarborough, Ont.
She turned to WeChat — a Chinese messaging and social media app — to find cheap flights to visit her sister in Vancouver and her parents in China.
She found a seller with the user name "CaptainCooll" who claimed to have access to "Air Canada employee discount" tickets.
Screen captures provided to CBC News show an ad promising a "hot sale" of up to 50 per cent off.
Qian says she didn't realize she was buying from a fraudster who was using a stolen credit card to book airline seats on behalf of unsuspecting clients, then pocketing their payments.
She became a repeat customer after flying three times with Air Canada over almost a year and a half without an issue.
Qian says she paid "CaptainCooll" $5,800 for the flights, which included "deals" on business class seats.
