I’m kicking off this list with quite a banger. Not only did this guy manage to scam the airport once, but he managed to continue this charade for over a year! Even after they told him to stop, he still managed to make money by getting a refund for the ticket.
I wonder what made them figure out the truth in the end. Perhaps one of the restaurant workers recognized him, or maybe he made a blunder that gave away his secret. Either way, he must’ve cost the airport a pretty penny, and I’m sure that they feel mad about it now!
