Sydney travel agent Zahra Rachid avoided jail after pleading guilty to stealing up to $50,360 from clients by falsely canceling flights.
Sydney travel agent Zahra Rachid avoided additional jail time after pleading guilty to defrauding at least eight clients by canceling their flights and keeping the refund money, allegedly to sustain her struggling business.
The scheme, lasting over eight months, involved falsely claiming global disruptions as reasons for cancellations, leaving victims—some stranded at Sydney Airport—forced to pay extra for last-minute rebookings.
Stolen amounts ranged from $2,000 to $50,360 per victim.
Rachid was arrested in August 2024 and the case was heard at the Downing Centre Local Court, where her cooperation and personal circumstances influenced the decision to spare her further imprisonment.
