Redditor Receives Angry Message From Credit Card Hacker after Canceling Flight He Bought With His Card

Did you know it's ok to steal someone's credit card and buy a plane ticket if you have an important family gathering to attend?

That's the argument Redditor u/AshesfallforAshton recalled in his mildly infuriating post for r/mildlyinfuriating, one recounting the Black Mirror-ian woe that came with receiving an angry message from a hacker after they canceled a flight the thief booked with their credit card.

"Person who hacked my credit card emailed me asking why I canceled his flight," they commenced their post, which has since garnered more than 149,000 upvotes.

"My credit card was hacked," they recalled, theorizing that the perp "did it by hacking my Gmail account" as the hacker "signed up for Priceline, with the login with Gmail button."

Shortly after canceling the flight through Priceline's free option - having already contacted their bank, u/AshesfallforAshton deemed the former option much faster - they received a very pointed message from the evidently irked hacker surrounding the unforeseen changes to their travel itinerary.

"Why was my Flight Cancelled?" the hacker wrote in the aforementioned email, one denoted with the subject line "Flight."

"Could you please respond? I have a family event to attend," they concluded the message, one that also featured "his photo and phone number," per u/AshesfallforAshton, ones that "matched the name on the flight."

While it's unclear whether the alleged hacker - who is named Travis - will ultimately face any punishment for his credit-card stealing ways, one thing is certain: He definitely needs to get a new flight.
