Former WestJet employee charged with fraud, theft in $250,000 travel credit scam
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY – Alberta’s organized and serious crimes unit says a former WestJet employee has been charged for allegedly fraudulently issuing over $250,000 worth of travel credits.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams said Friday that its Calgary Financial Crime branch charged Terance Gough, 43, with fraud and theft over $5,000 on Tuesday.
The response teams, known as ALERT, started a joint investigation with WestJet corporate security in July 2015 after the airline conducted an internal investigation.
ALERT alleges that Gough issued the WestJet travel credits between 2012 and 2015 and that they were bought and sold by a third party.
A WestJet spokesperson said no customers suffered financial loss as a result of the scheme and indicated the company does not believe any other employees were involved.
The spokesperson refused to comment further because the matter is before the courts.

The troubled Quebec-based drug and health-care products company said Friday after markets closed that it had received notices of default from the trustee under indentures governing various notes due in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
“Under these bond indentures, the company has until June 21, 2016, 60 days from the receipt of the notices, to file its form 10-K, which will cure the default under the applicable indenture in all respects,” it said.
The company, which made a similar announcement involving other debt holders on April 12, added that the notices of default do not result in the acceleration of any of the company’s indebtedness.
Under the previous default notices, it had until June 11 to complete the filing.
Valeant had earlier warned of the possibility of receiving notice of default even after a majority of lenders had agreed earlier this month to give it until May 31 to complete the filing…
